What you can expect
Experience the Discovery Pools at Ōpuke Thermal Pools and Spa - the ultimate family-friendly hot pool adventure. Located 1 hour 20 minutes from Christchurch, Opuke Hot Pools offers relaxation and rejuvenation for visitors of all ages. Depending on your plans, choose between a 2 hour or 4 hour hot pools pass.
Explore the stars of Matariki in our ana (cave), gently flow in our lazy river, take a leap of faith from Jump Point, dare yourself to a cold plunge, or simply sit back and soak in the views from our observation lagoon. Discovery has something for everyone.
Opuke Thermal Pools and Spa is the perfect spot to take the family after a busy day exploring Methven or Christchurch. Just 30 minutes from the Mt Hutt ski field access road and 1.5 hours from Christchurch, you won't be short of things to do in the area.
If you're looking for an adult-exclusive hot pool experience, check out the Solar Tubs or Tranquility Pools experiences instead.
