Tekapo springs is nice facility by the mountainside overlooking the beautiful lake Tekapo (lake that is made by melting glaciers). They have 3 pools from 35C-37C, a massage centre (book early very hard to get times), mini golf course in the back and then restaurant/ coffee shop. Their sauna is a Turkish steam sauna which is fine, personally like the Finnish style sauna better. The place is good for star gazing but booking early is needed

We had a great experience with Tekapo Stargazing. It started on the Stardeck where we spent time looking at 4 spots in the sky, at nebulas, galaxies, and dying stars. Then we spend time in the hotpools listening to trivia and more star spotting. Theres something so special about being about to see the Milky Way Galaxy with your naked eye. We also saw Orion, the Southern Cross, multiple travelling satellites and many shooting stars. An incredible night that I will remember forever!

Loved my time at Tekapo Springs, sadly my car battery died as I had left my lights on. Glenn from the maintenance team helped me out and we were good to go, he’s a good egg. Tū Mēke

Our family enjoys Hot Pools and holidays are always a good time to experience new ones. After Camping at Mt Cook and doing the Hooker Valley Glacier walk we chose these pools for being close, not having to be there by a certain time and the Summer slide looked fun. Highlights. Loved the Products available in the Shower. Nice Landscaping. The Plunge Pool for diving/jumping. The splash pad "waterfall/shower" massage. Easy pools for our 7yr old to enjoy. Friendly Staff Our Average bits. The slide is really expensive for what it is...we got a few good grazes from the Velcro strips and all tried to get 6 rides in, it's a bit of a rough ride. Sitting in the pool you don't get views of the lake. The hottest pool kids pool is 36'c and Adult pool is 38'c. While it's pure spring water it's not Hot Mineral pools. Compared to other Hot springs we visited we were a bit disappointed especially with the cost - mostly due to adding on the Slide pass. They looked nice the plunge pool was fun but we didn't leave with that "HOT SOAK" feeling.

This place is an absolute MUST when visiting Lake Tekapo. Beautiful pools of different temperatures. We also loved the Sauna and Cold plunge pool. Very invigorating. The only difficulty was finding the entrance!!!

The guides are there to make sure you have the very best time, safely guided on a tour of the night sky, seeing things that the majority will never see, such as nebulae, clusters and jewellery boxes!! Then you get to soak in the got pools and stare up again as you're regaled with stories and facts about the night sky. Marvellous.

Did the stargazing and soak in the pools experience. Don't fear the weather if it's cold, it's a great way to see the stars and relax. A cold 2-4c and blankets were provided during the dry part of the tour as well as warm drinks, so the cold didn't bother our group (definitely bring your own hat, warm shoes, etc as that part is on you). Very knowledgeable your guides and great views of the constellations in the southern hemisphere. Robes and towels provided for the pools part. We wore out hats during the soak in the pools just in case of a breeze on the ears but it was quite sheltered. Do wear flip flops or similar if it's cold during this part as floor to pools is cold. Lovely hot water, once in I didn't feel cold at all. If you like stars and hot tubs in your life there is no reason not to pick this!

I went in for a massage and had a dip in the pools while there. The weather was not very good, so this was the perfect way to enjoy an outdoor afternoon while pampering myself. The setting of the pools is beautiful with shades that protect from the glare as well as the rain. The place also has a little café that serves wonderful sandwiches and a wide range of drinks. The massage was great. The masseur found all those little tight hurting knots and worked them out.

Enjoyed my 60mins Deep tissue and 30mins Pure Fiji Glow on the GO with Mr Leo Tsai yesterday morning. He was professional, informative and very good in both the massage and facial. He attended to areas of concern which i had marked on the diagram in their sign up form and had advise on after care. Felt relaxed and well looked after. Try a massage or facial with him if you're ever at Tekapo Springs Ltd. The Glacial Spa offers you a variety of herbal tea to choose from or infused water after your treatment. Sip away and enjoy the great view of the hot pools, the lake against snow covered mountain tops this winter. A 45mins to 1hr deep in the hot pools with short stints to steam/sauna + cold plunge pool helps loosen tight muscles and is advised for both before and after massage. Keep hydrated , take your water bottle which you can refill at their water fountain just before you enter the hot pools. Thank you Leo for wonderful experience 💖

We had a wonderful day at Tekapo Springs. We booked the Star Gazing tour and added the optional day pass so that we could enter as many times as we wanted during the day. After completing a circuit hike/tramp of the Mount John Walkway which we started and completed at Tekapo Springs, we spent the afternoon relaxing in the springs. The 38 degree water on a 9 degree day was very relaxing and worked wonders on our muscles so that we were not sore at all the next day. The change rooms were nice and clean with shampoo, condiioner and body wash supplied and the "togs" dryer was great for drying out most of the moisture from our swimwear within 10 seconds. We went back to the hotel, changed, had dinner and then came back in the evening for the 8:40pm Star Gazing session. Our Star Gazing guide Ariana was very knowledgeable and really educated us on the constellations. Our tour group were divided into 4 groups of 6 people and we explored all of the various constellations via the high powered telescopes. Each of the tour assistants were really helpful and helped all of the group members to see the constellations clearly through the telescopes that even a few group members with vision impairments could end up seeing the stars clearly. The stories that Arian shared regarding the history and mythologies behind each ot the constellations and zodiacs were really fascinating. After the star gazing session which was 45 minutes we then spent the next 45 minutes in the hot springs. It was really surreal floating around int the 38 degree water when the air temperature at this time was 0 to 1 degrees while staring at the stars while Ariana continued to tell us about the Dark Sky project and how it aimed to minimise light pollution and we could vaguely see the aurora borealis in the distance. It was really relaxing floating in the warm water and really capped off a wonderful day. I would recommend doing the star gazing tour and adding the day pass to it. Thank you to the staff at Tekapo Springs for a wonderful experience.
