🏆 Family Action Verdict
The 80-metre slide through the bush is the kind of thing kids talk about on the drive home. Pack a full picnic set-up - blankets, chairs, and shade - and plan to stay the whole day.

“Idyllic is the word I use to describe this gem of a watering hole. Set against natures hilly bush backdrop. An aqua blue marine pool complex, sits perfectly mapped out for all to enjoy. The prices have gone through the roof, which local council come up with and that would be my only negative. The rest is quite awesome, particularly early morning sessions. 50m pool. 20 lengths means you’ve done 1km it’s brilliant. Then over into the spa. Come see for yourselves 🤎”

“The open slide was excellent, highly recommended. It doesn't hurt your bum like the closed tubular slides can sometimes do. You can slide without a mat or go super fast with one. No queue. $10 unlimited swimming/sliding per person. The only downside was there was no shade near the pool and it was blazing hot.”

Overview
The outdoor pool complex at Wainuiomata sits against a hilly bush backdrop unlike any indoor facility. The 80-metre open waterslide runs through native bush - riders can go with or without a mat, with mats running noticeably faster. The complex includes a main pool, kiddies pool, dedicated lane swimming, and a spa pool. BBQs are available on-site. Reviewers recommend bringing shade equipment such as umbrellas. The complex operates seasonally.
