★★★★★Featured review by Lynz Wilmshurst

Amazing outdoor pools with water slides and two diving platforms where you can dive bomb or Manu. If there early you can get a carport and pick of the tables with shade unless already booked, which you can also do. Toddler pool, large spa and swimming lanes. They also put out an Aqua Run, which all kids and even adults love. Gets crowded from about 11am, and when we left at 3pm, people still coming in as it closes at 8pm.bbq's available to hire too. They café is basic, like the old tuck shop. No Cafe sitting at tables and fried chips, hot dogs and ice cream, the usual basics except nice espresso coffee. Changing rooms are great, you can still have a free hot shower and they are kept clean and not scungy, like, some council ones I have seen. The staff and lifeguards are alert and friendly. Would definitely recommend it.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Kids consistently love the slides, diving platforms, and Aqua Run. One parent says it's "my kids' LOVE this place most of all the pools in Auckland" — noting the spa, lots of shade, and clean grounds. Arriving early pays off for table and carpark choice. Chicken nuggets and slushies at the café are a hit.

My kids LOVE this place most of all the pools in Auckland. Wish some parents would keep an eye on their kids though, especially around the diving boards. Lifeguard was helping one kid out of the water, while another was jumping off the board towards the ladder and hit the previous kid. Saw a few near misses and it was the same kids. One gave attitude to the lifeguard, too, and acted intimidating. The place is so well kept, clean, maintained, and so much room. Lots of shade. Love the spa. Kids loved the aquarun. Chicken nuggets were nice, so were the chips. Ended the day with slushies for the kiddos. Be nice to the lifeguards, and check before you jump. Watch your kids at the diving boards, especially if they struggle swimming. Definitely worth the price, in my opinion.
