The ultimate day out, with something for everyone!
Tekapo Springs
The ultimate day out, with something for everyone, from seasoned skaters and snow tube adventurers, to spa devotees and hot pool worshippers. Very family friendly.
Tekapo Springs sits beside the stunning Lake Tekapo at the base of Mount John, in the very heart of the South Island. A sedate 15-minute walk from Lake Tekapo village, this is one of New Zealand's premier family attractions, with numerous activities designed to be as active, or relaxed, as you like.
At the heart of the complex lie the five inviting hot pools, built to resemble the natural wonders of the lakes beyond. Each of the adjoining pools enjoys an outstanding panorama of lakes and mountains, and the crystal clear water is sourced from the surrounding alpine springs and heated with recyclable energy. There is bench-side seating, private nooks and crannies, and wonderfully therapeutic massage jets which heal and relax. The temperature of the pools ranges from 27 to 40 degrees Celsius – just perfect for lying back and drinking in those mountain views. Next to the pools is a sauna and steam room, ideal for detoxing and purification.
Dare to ride the TRIPPO, New Zealand's largest inflatable water slide! This amazing waterslide is 11 metres high, 53 metres long and 24 metres wide. It will be positioned on the outdoor rink at Tekapo Springs from December to March.
The TRIPPO has three chutes providing hours of fun for the whole family. A great way to enjoy the long summer days!
The spa is great for those who like to be completely pampered. Four fully-functional spa rooms provide the ultimate in massages, facials, pedicures, manicures and total body care, and each treatment booked gives complimentary access to the sauna and steam room. There's also a plunge pool, set at lake temperatures of just 8 degrees Celsius.
For the more active, get yourself over to the ice rink, where you can exercise those leg muscles and take a few circuits around this picturesque, state of the art rink.
The highlight for many coming to Tekapo Springs, though, is the snow park. What's not to like, about flinging yourself down a snowy slope on an inflatable tube? No experience is necessary, just a sense of fun, as you'll see 'tubers' of all ages getting ready for this ride of a lifetime, and your ticket lets you hurl yourself down the slopes as many times as you like within one hour. Addicted? You will be!
When you need a quiet time out, there is the Tahr Bar & Café offering up freshly baked delights to complement a menu that has a range of culinary adventures as well as quality coffee, some tempting beers and wines. There's so much to do here, that it's worth investigating the numerous 'Combo Ticket' deals, too, which could save you money on the activities you want to do the most, and are ideal for families, especially.
