About New Brighton Hot Pools

Five hot pools with ocean views, beside the New Brighton Pier at 195 Marine Parade, New Brighton, Christchurch. The pools are saltwater, not chlorinated, and there is also a plunge pool, a steam room and a sauna. The sunrise soak includes a robe, a mocktail and an optional guided meditation.

The pools are open year round, and entry is by timed sessions of one hour and 45 minutes. Booking is recommended, as sessions often sell out, especially evenings, sunrise and peak times. Adult entry starts at $23 as at October 2026, with tiered peak and off-peak pricing, and children aged four to 16 have a child ticket. Children under 14 must be supervised, and the warmer pools are not play pools. Lockers can be hired, or free cubbies are used. Visitors bring their own swimwear and towels. There is a free public car park just north of the pools, and the Rolleston–New Brighton bus stops across the road.
