Parakai Springs: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Friendly and very helpful staff! We'll presented, easy to find.
Fantastic experience: enjoyable family pools that cater to people of any age.
Fantastic experience: fun family pool with great slides and facilities.
Negative experience: The deteriorating condition of this place is appalling. The entry price definitely doesn't match up to the condition. This place needs renovation and maintenance work urgently. I'm sure people won't mind paying the right price if the place is worth it. Even spectators get charged . Kids were a little disgusted and wanted to leave soon after. The idea of hot springs and a clean ,kept, and beautiful environment is appealing, but unfortunately, Parakai Springs is nowhere close to that.
Negative experience: 비추. 아이들 term 방학 평일 오전에 방문. [수질] - 물이 더럽슴돠. - pool 바닥이 까슬대도록 이물질이 깔려있음. - 재대로된 필터링도 없는지 머리카락, 이물질, 벌레 그대로 떠다님. - 이용객들 샤워 안하고 그냥 입수함. - 온천은 온천인지 특유의 냄새가 나는 듯. 물은 따뜻했음. [가격] - 가격이라도 저렴하면 모를까. - 패밀리 패스도 비쌈. [시설] - 미끄럼틀 : 재미있음. 하지만 매우 노후. 계단 올라가면서 무너지는거 아닌지 걱정됨. - 식사공간 : 실내 취식공간 매우 협소. 야외에는 수영장 옆에 바비큐 있음. 손으로 음식집어먹다 바로 입수. 수질 관리가 될 수 없음. 실내 온천풀 다섯 걸음 떨어진 곳에서 어르신들 보온도시락 꺼내서 식사하심. 수질관리가 안됨. 동네 leisure centre가 더 관리 잘되있음. 가성비 최악. 여긴 동네사람들 정기권 끊어놓고 잠깐 놀고가는 곳임. 멀리서 찾아가지 마시길
Positive experience: The private venue hire is awesome to hire through grab one whanau mean deal comes with bbq kitchen area oven a lot of space could do with more sheltered seating outside of the tent but it's nice as other than that it's worth the price and when the weather's right it's perfect for a day at the pools but communication to get your bond back is slow to respond for me personally that's not ok as you do pay alot of money towards the venue and the bond just to be made to wait till they are ready to respond that's my only downfall about this other than that it's worth it peoples
Positive experience: Decent place for the family, great place for kids. I live in Wellington, came during school holiday break for the kids. The 2x water slides were the best highlight, way better than anything in Wellington pools despite having many there. Plenty of space for BBQ, parking, family gazebo, etc. Only downfall is the cleanliness of it all. The pools, building, slides...basically everything needs proper cleaning; alot of mould, dirt, stains all around wherever you looked, and at times it was slightly off-putting. Even the pool tasted a bit salty which was very strange. The slides definitely need maintenance. I ended up getting a big cut under my foot from the slide, hence why I think they've been using mats to slide down to avoid this issue rather than fixing it. Overall, loads of fun for kids who don't mind hygiene but definitely needs proper cleaning & maintenance done immediately.
Positive experience: As a local with an annual pass, I really love and value these pools, I’m there 2-3 times a week for my exercise. The outdoor 33 metre long pool is easy to get into even if you have mobility issues as it’s sloped - so find your ideal water height for walking, swimming, exercising or playing. Despite being a lovely 30 degrees c, I always finish with a soak in the 40 degree hot pool to warm me to my bones. V healing mineral waters. The changing rooms need a deep clean and revamp and the hydra slides need some maintenance and repair, I wouldn’t let my loved ones on them. I haven’t tried the cafe. The private hire area looks fab for a party. Check grab one for regular ticket deals.

Fantastic experience: Man what a cool outing!! My younger kids 1st time there and loved it! Super nice staff especially kind and super gentle with my little one who needed a plaster. So relaxing inside the indoor pool. Toilets clean, free BBQ areas are plentiful, and looots of space, didn't worry about how loud or excited my kids were:)a great park across the carpark too. ..we decided to go on a bit of a wet day but the warmth of the pools, the fun of the slides and other pool goers, and i must say not being crowded made it worth it..bar the slag swearing@her niece and nefz:/ Nonetheless awesome as, we drove out early from pukekohe and was worth it (we had grab one vouchers) will remember to bring some patties n sauseez for the grill next time. Fantastic end to the week!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome experience. We were facilitating someone with a medical condition, the owners brother was extremely helpful and friendly to us. Thanks again to the team at parakai springs! Also the actual pools were excellent with an awesome hydroslide out the back!
Positive experience: 35 dollars for adult in season was quite a high price for the facility It didn't really have hot springs feel to the pools, it was more like public pool, the outside pool didn't have much warmth Family changing room was smelly n run down Inside pool was adequate in temperature and no where to sit inside the pool so people sat in stairs I think they should have 20 dollars per adult all year around But it was very crowded on wknd so they can afford to overcharge
Fantastic experience: Hired the private venue. Was absolutely amazing, own private pool, changing room and large BBQ area. Highly recommended for your next function or get together. Staff amazing. Whole experience amazing. 10/10 will definitely come back.
Fantastic experience: Worth the travel and money. Staff are very friendly, Music was on Thank you to the young lad in the kitchen today for the delicious food. Amazing hospitality and service.

The facilities were really clean and the atmosphere was peaceful on a weekday night. Would totally recommend! Can't beat a trip to the hotpools during an NZ winter!
Fantastic experience: My closest friend and I go here often to absorb the natural minerals in hot pools through our skin and heal. Such a lot of people are mineral deficient today in a busy world. Minerals make my joints feel better and skin rejuvenate, noticeable the next day, eyes clearer. Never underestimate natural healing methods. The staff are friendly and pleasant.

Fantastic experience: My family and friends always have the best time at Parakai, not the newest facilities but the pools were clean, slides were a hit (just need a lick of paint) take a picnic take the family and enjoy, ignore the negative reviews ❤️
Negative experience: It is so sad to see a child hood memory gone down hill yet again, (waiwera) the facilities are unimaginable the pools and slides even more so, I honestly have absolutely no idea how parakai is even able to operate in the conditions it is now. appalling is an understatement. I am discouraging as many people as I know to not go here. Sickness waiting to happen! If there was a 0 star rating I would give it.

Positive experience: I must say I was a little put off by the three-star reviews, but we found this facility excellent the children had a ball, the water was clean the Hydra slides were a huge hit I would really rate it . So don't be put off by the odd negative reviews, and give it to go.
Hey Dean! Thank you for visiting and for your great feedback. Hope to see you back again soon.
Fantastic experience: Awesome value for money. Slides are lots of fun. Best to pick a calm day in winter to avoid the cold wait at the top.
