Geothermal pools in the small village of Tokaanu, a few kilometres north-west of Tūrangi on State Highway 41. The website says the village is known for its thermal waters, which the Ngāti Kurauia hapū have long recognised as healing waters. There are 12 family-sized private natural mineral pools at 39 to 41 degrees, a large public pool heated to 36 to 38 degrees, and a children's pool. A free thermal bushwalk of about 20 minutes goes past steaming pools and mud pools, and is wheelchair accessible. Visitors can also feed trout from the bridge over the stream.
Prices as at 2026 are $8 for an adult in the public pool, $6 for a child, $7 for a senior, and $14 for an adult private pool, $10 for a child, $12 for a senior. Preschoolers are free with a paying adult. Concession cards for 12 visits are also available. Private pools are open from 10am to 8pm, and sales close at 8pm. No booking is needed. Visitors describe the pools as relaxing, clean and good value, and the staff as friendly. Some say it is an authentic, budget geothermal experience rather than a luxury spa.
