Reviews of The Lost Spring
M.My partner and I purchased romance duo package and couldn’t recommend it enough. The cocktails and antipasto platters were delicious. The poolside service was second to none! Our evening massage left us feeling extremely relaxed. Huge compliments to the staff and therapists. We will definitely be returning!!
M.A fabulous place to visit is very tropical reminds me of Balli. The hot pools are relaxing to soak in. Cold drinks,.cocktails and a platter of food can be enjoyed while soaking in the pools. Also a restaurant our lunch was delicious. Highly recommend
M.A gorgeous oasis that provides an idyllic sanctuary from the summer sun. A variety of pools to soak in with poolside service offering a quenching cocktail to enjoy. We expected the restaurant to be an afterthought rather than a standout but we were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was one of the highlights of our Whitianga stay. Of particular note was the garlic bread - chosen on a whim but proved to be one of the most delicious things I’ve tasted. Excellent mains, well presented and full of flavour, we’re finished off with a deconstructed affogato. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the Coromandel.
j.What a surprise package. Beautifully designed topical oasis. Full spa package available. Very professional. Pools with varied temperatures. Caves & waterfalls. Mood lighting & music. Cocktails and snacks served to you while you are relaxing in the pools. Pina Colada was delicious. Very clean well organised. Live music playing in the lovely restaurant.clean well appointed bathrooms. Good range of Fiji Pure products in stock. We were very impressed. Pays to book (a 2 hour slot) as numbers are restricted due to covid rules. Adults only.
V.The best hot springs in New Zealand.
Adults only, food and cocktails are served in pools.
Beautiful exteriors and nice staff.
L.An absolutely beautiful place! Would highly recommend. Lovely pools, staff are great, feels like you're in a tropical oasis.
I.Love this place! Been here many times, always great customer service and friendly staff. Love the drinks & food delivery to the pool. Facilities are great and well thought out.
B.Visited last week and can't wait to visit again!
Staff are friendly and lovely. The view and pools are perfect.
Recommend to prepare the towel when you plan to visit there!
T.Very pretty place to visit, but an average experience. Only 3 pools, 1 being right out of the restaurant window. So not so private or comforting to swim in. One bigger pool that was lukewarm at best with a very small "hot" area. And only one hot pool that was absolutely packed. We couldn't even get up the stairs to look at the hot pool, that's how packed it was. We were very close to sitting on the steps with a tiny stream of warm water just so we would warm up a little. Grazing platter was actually quite nice. I really enjoyed that and the cocktail. Not sure if it was worth $100 for a package though. The price includes entry, a towel, a complimentary cocktail, grazing platter and a robe. Still really pretty and overall an alright experience. Just wish there was bigger hot area's for those who enjoy the hot part of hot pools.
A.Very nice place 👌The main pool is not warm enough for winter months and suggest you would go there in autumn or spring! Great food and cocktails though. The changing rooms and showers definitely need to be upgraded, chipping paint etc.
d.Fantastic place to relax and enjoy 😉 my sister took us there and we were so pleased with everything. A must to do
C.It was lovely! It was so relaxing and enjoyable, the staff were great as well.
F.Both the pools and the restaurant were great !
We were a bit hesitant as some reviews mentioned that the pools looked a bit aged, indeed it's a bit pricey but we were very positively surprised. We'd recommend to go at night though for an even better experience.
The food at the restaurant was excellent, good quantities and definitely fair price. Note that we took a pool entry + ordered the food separately, as the food options in the 'package deals' didn't seem so exciting.
A.Professional and skilled staff , treatments were outstanding. Stayed on for drinks and dinner, excellent meals and service. Great surroundings.
B.A very relaxing place. The pools are nice, lots of nature around so feels like you’re in a jungle really. However I do think it’s a bit expensive for what it is. You have to pay extra for towels and even a locker. For the price paid it should at least include the basics, it would not cost them anything to provide a locker for instance, and the entry is not cheap.
V.The place is like a tropical oasis! The facilities are amazing and the environment oozes relaxation and charm with its lush, green setting and pristine water. The pools offer a temperature for everyone and if it gets too warm, you can order a drink from the pool. Its definitely somewhere I'll be returning to again😊👍
M.Nice place to spend a few hours, and the restaurant was excellent. Had the version steak, and cooked well. Main pool a little on the cool side, so if you prefer it hotter head to the separate pool at the far end of the property.
s.Amazingly relaxing. A must visit. I did the Lost Springs Signature package. Well worth the money.
A.Overall nice, staff are super nice and helpful, but when I compare the price versus what you get with many many spa and hot pools I visited in last years in NZ, it's overpriced. Extra charge for towel, robes, shampoo etc. The main pool was even cold for us and we spend the whole time in the only hot one. It was lovely to have the wet bar and that you can order drinks and snacks from the pool, I was just expecting more.
M.Was a bit underwhelming. Cost $100 each for pool entry, a tasting platter (average to good) and a cocktail (good).
The main pool is lukewarm and was quite crowded with empty plates and glasses a common sight. The cave area smelt like hot chips due to the poolside eating. There is a small hot pool that was a decent temperature.
The entire place feels quite tired/dated, including the poolside decor and the main building.
The place has potential but just wasn't quite there in my opinion, and I don't think the current price is justified for what it is currently delivering.
Save your money and go to hot water beach!
J.Perhaps a little overcrowded, but a pretty unique experience with lovely staff and pools, a range of temperatures to suit your preference and a really nice restaurant. Recommend the dip and dine deal for a good combination and reasonable price. Cocktails are a little pricey! But overall can recommend for an experience as a couple or a small group
H.From the moment you enter the driveway, you feel like you've arrived at a tropical island. Everything is spotless, stunning, atmospheric, beautifully maintained. I could have stayed there for days, it was such a therapeutic, relaxing 4 hours of pure bliss. During the Auckland lockdown I have been craving to head back here and will do so with friends in February 2022.
D.Really good experience. A bit pricey and the need to book ahead makes it a bit exclusive. Dining in the restaurant was very good though having people walk past our table, shortcut ti g to the changing room in wet swimwear wasn't quite right.
j.It's a nice spot. Pools are big enough to find your own quiet corner. Good pool side drink service. The best bowl of fries I have heard in ages
J.Nice relaxing area! We enjoyed the drinks in the pool! Love the tropical vibes! Gutted we missed out on Day Spa(fully booked), truly popular even with 3 weeks in advance pre booking. Definitely, go book it way ahead of time!
C.Went to the Lost Spring with BFF to have a girls night out. We had Dip and dine $80 each. The food is awesome. We didn't know robe and towel not included as not mentioned on website, hence we didn't bring our own. We hired the towel $5 each. Not suitable to bring children. More suitable for couple and adults only.
P.Absolutely awesome 👌. Highly recommend coming here if you're in Whitianga
N.Spent over half the day here. 4 hours in the hot water pools, followed by a meal in the restaurant. Couldn’t experience the spa treatments as they book up quickly. You need to book at least two weeks ahead if you want to enjoy the spa, but the earlier you can book the better. Friendly attentive staff and good food as well but maybe a little expensive. Would go again, but making sure to book the spa well in advance first.
A.A fantastic place , lovely friendly staff along with the owner. Hard to believe where you are it's paradise. Excellent food and extremely clean and maintained. Will definitely go back in the future.
A.The Lost Spring is a truly luxurious experience like you have been whisked away to a tropical island. Hot pools where you are waited on, providing whatever you desire, cocktails to die for and something scrumptious for the hungry. Nestled amongst natives and palm trees this has to be the most idyllic spot you could wish for. Coupled with a meal at the restaurant with great food and wine choices this really is heaven. The options here are extensive and the service outstanding. True indulgence, worth ever minute.
A.Personally I liked it. But at the same time I felt it's bit costly as their hot pools are quite small compare to number of people they allow. Specially the highest temperature pool was extremely small and many of us couldn't get a space to enter. The best deal was fries.
J.Not as natural as we preferred, drinks at the drink shack were also very expensive. However I found the food at the dine was quite nicely cooked.
The pools were relatively well designed and our first plunge of experience was pretty amazing. They were just a little small to accommodate so many visitors and not much space to have some privacy.
Towels and lockers are available for hire, so remember to bring your own towel.
Pure Fiji products can be purchased here, really fabulous smells.
J.Hidden treasures I ever have been.
Best staff will help you around pools and good food and locally brewing beers.
Best man made cave.
l.Mixed feelings. We did the Dip and Dine experience. Positives were friendly service, fantastic pina coladas, and great hot pool. Negatives were the $40 main pork was dry and not worth price, small portion sides were additional $9 each. Overall it was very overpriced for an average experience.
S.Lovely place to relax...
Food was delicious...
Helpful pleasant staff...
Go There...
S.We frequent The Lost Spring quite often and it’s a beautiful place. Delicious food and cocktails, always wonderful service. Beautiful environment and such a relaxing place. Highly recommend!
G.Great polenisian escape in Whitianga suburbia. Awesome service, hotpools and cocktails😉
N.Unfortunately we couldn't use the pool there because we didn't have reservations, so be sure to BOOK before going there .
Kids under 14 years old are not allowed in our around the pool.
The place looks so so beautiful and the restaurant is so beautiful and the staff are very kind and friendly
A.Wonderful place, great service and facilities. Feels like you are a world away. Highly recommend for some R&R.
R.Amazing place. So relaxing. Definitely recommend this place
J.Lovely spa experience. Really nice and helpful spa. Unfortunately only two of the pools have warmth to them. And only one of those is a proper "hot pool".
a.Fantastic. What a great achievement. Very reasonable price and great area to sit afterwards for a coffee. Girls were amazing. Especially Italy new trainee Abby.
s.AMAIZING! Allan and Alanah have done a truly amazing job of this. First time there and after a 8 hour drive, this was the perfect way to finish the day. Beer, wine and nibbles "in" the pool and then dinner at the window on the pools edge listening to the waterfall in the background. The grounds are incredible and the food and service was first-class. We will definitely be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
R.Who would think this was in the midfle of a urban area it is one of the awesome places to go to down in Whitianga awesome service the food its bloody beautiful surroundings outstanding this is a must go and do list if you are ever in Whitianga check it out for the whole day and get the $1200 deal pack.
A.Absolutely 1 in a million experience. So tranquil and relaxing. Superb surroundings. Wonderful friendly service and food to die for.. we can not wait to go back again
A.Who would of thought such a place could exist in a beach place. Enjoyed the different temp pools and landscaping. It would be good to have more than one shower if things get busy. Food and drink pool service was great.
A.This place is definitely worth a visit.
It is slightly over-priced for the facilities provided but a great experience none the less.
There are not enough showers, the drinks are over priced and weaker than a wet paper bag and the time frames are limited. But other than that, the pools are nice, mostly medium heat and not too deep
A.Amazing service!! Staff made it feel like i wasn't annoying 🥰 spa was hot amd very vibey. If i had more money i would also get a spa service!
Changing room was small but, did not take away from the overall experience 💕
Would recommend, come again ty
E.If you're in the area this place is worth it. No one would ever know this type of place is in the area. They have done a wonderful job creating this spot. My husband and I got a couples package that included a massage, 1 and 1/2 hour swim, a mixed drink and antipasto platter for each. It is well worth the money to get a package and easy to spend a few hours of your day relaxing while you eat, drink and swim. The staff were attentive and the massage was one of the best we had on the island.
M.WOW truly bliss, having cocktails in the pool & been waited on poolside truly special, enjoyed the cave crystals & pool water. Very tranquil & unique, totally loved & highly recommend to everyone.
D.Had a great time here with my partner. We did the dip and dine package.
The facility itself was very nice. A little smaller than I thought but still great and super nice. Very romantic place to spend a day with your other half! The hottest pools are up behind the main pool with the cave.
Don't bother bringing your own lock as you can only rent out their lockers. They also have towel hires if you forget yours.
The food was decent, wouldn't say it was worth the money. For that price you can eat very very well in Auckland. The restaurant staff was very nice and kind. But I can't say the same for what seemed to be the manager near the front desk. She almost seemed like she was bullying the other front desk lady and was just unpleasant all around to interact with.
Other than her. Was a great time! A+
A.Happened to be in Whitianga for the weekend and EVERYONE kept telling me about this place... Went online and thought it was a bit pricey to lie in a hot pool so decided against it, but their food looked reasonably priced and went for lunch.
Had a fresh juice and calamari and I can honestly say it might be the best calamari I've ever had!
Also while having lunch I was a bit disappointed that I didn't book to lie in a hot pool! The atmosphere is great and it's absolutely beautiful! This will stay on my bucket list till next time. A perfect escape with the girlfriends or someone special❤️
D.Omg what an amazing time we have had . Everyone is so helpful and friendly. The meals are to die for. Ashleigh <I hope I have the right name) our hostess was just delightful.
We shall return
F.A wonderful, relaxing day with both my husband and son. Soaking in the thermal waters, in a tropical setting (my son said he felt like he was at a Hawaiian resort), while enjoying a cocktail and platter was such a great, unique experience but I have to say that the outstanding part for me was the back massage! Gina is a genius at massage! I have never experienced one even close to whole back massage that she gave me, absolutely perfect pressure and so thorough and professional and she provided such a relaxing atmosphere. I can't wait to go back, and a repeat massage with Gina is definitely on my itinerary!
B.Lovley pools to relax.
There are 2 pools. A hot crater pool which is quite hot and the main lagoon which has little thermal spots and a cave you can go in. The shallow bit is the hottest.
Food and drink is delivered to the poolside and you can even eat in the water. Staff vey friendly.
It is quite pricey for what it is. There are other thermal spas that are bigger and cheaper but they dont offer the waiter service.
All in all had a very nice time.
You can choose 90 mins for 40$ or all day 70$
90 mins is an okay amount of time but id go with all day if you have all day.
S.Wonderful relaxing hidden gem. We had a couples massage that was absolute bliss. Could easily spend the day lazing in the pools with a cocktail in hand. The restaurant food was great too!
N.Slice of paradise in the middle of Whitianga suburbia! From when you enter the car park you feel like you've been transported into a pacific island. Reminded us of Rarotonga or Fiji. There are two pools - main and Crater Lake. The latter is the warmer one. They currently only do package deals, but on the expensive side, but worth it! We went for the 1.5 hour soak with a grazing platter and cocktail each, which set is back $200.
G.What a great experience. We did a package that included a drink, platter, massage and 2hrs in the pools.
The staff were all extremely friendly and when we arrived we were given really great instructions about the experience worked.
The platter was huge and ours included, olives, sundries tomato, prosciutto, salami, crackers, cheese and bread. Like most platters it could have used some more bread.
I’d visit again and it’s great for a girls weekend away!
r.I had a mixed experience. The setting at the pools and staffing top notch as always!! Our party of four decided on dinner for my friends birthday 🎂. Whilst three of the meals wasn't up to the standard as we hoped we all ordered the same. The pork belly was amazingly delicious!! The staff and restaurant manager went over and above and took on our feedback on board and followed it through by giving a decent discount. Well handled professional and without a fuss. The service was outstanding!! 👍
H.Beautiful Polynesia style spa.
Various temperature natural hot pools set in a tropical environment.
Waiter service and cashless wristband system makes the whole experience relaxed and easy. Flavoured water stations keep you hydrated while floating in the incredible pools.
Recommend the day pass and then buying food as you like, which touch xan have delivered to the water or your sun lounger.
This isn't and cheap place however it is a wonderful treat, popular with hen dos, tour groups and couples alike.
The meals at the restaurant are very generous and delicious. The mussels you see are an entrée, incredible.
S.What a wonderful themed pools. Had the most relaxing time. Also dinner was amazing what a treat.
S.Such a beautiful place. We soaked in the pools first, had platter and then had a spa treatment. So relaxing!
M.Our day at the lost spa was a wonderful get away for our group 👌
Enjoyed the cocktails in the pool 🌺🍹🍸
The serving staff were very polite which made the experience that much better👍
The gift shop was awesome too as they stocked my favorite coconut oil 🔥 summer vibes & tropical scents ✨🍹🌺🌿💮🌸🌴🌅🌈
Will definitely go back 👍
t.Prepair:swim wear,big towel or robe
feel like relaxing in the forest. warm water, many greens.. I really love it.
but water is a bit dirty, cave interior is a bit look like for kids.
H.Seriously excellent food. I very much enjoyed this experience. My only point of concern was the very small changing room. The pools were wonderful.
T.Absolutely beautiful place to come to and just relax! It doesnt even feel like you're in whitianga! Loved the service and peacefulness of it all. Pools were hot and clean. Not too many people which was nice! Great drinks and chairs around too.
P.Overl priced there's just 3 pools inside overly crowded.
Not sure why people comparing it to Bali it stands nowhere when it comes to Bali.
As well as the price is too expensive limited number of changing rooms but I understand why it is so popular maybe there's no option in Coromandel there was Miranda pools but it's closed temporarily so, Lost spring is the only option left for people craving for hotpools
C.An enjoyable experience; not too busy, delicious drinks, attentive servers, and the music choices were a nice touch. Would like to visit after dark with the lights lit up :)
L.Good service and kind staffs & delicious meals but it was too complicated because the bathroom needed cleaning and the place to change was too small and there were only two women's showers.
S.Fabulous!!! Temperatures of the various pools was perfect!!! Lovely to sit and look over where you had been swimming while having lunch.
C.Very unexpected venue on a suburban street. Miami cocktail, garlic bread and tempera prawns on all day menu were delicious.
R.The lost spring is a lovely spot for a relaxing break. Well run, friendly staff and very good massage. A little overpriced but definitely worth it.
s.It was a okay experience, but it felt dirty as cups and plates lined the pools. For $45 for a dip in the pool you would expect a higher standard.
H.It was absolutely amazing experience, nice warm waters, beautiful sceneries around and delicious snacks, drinks 🍹 in pools.
b.Really busy place but still I love that place, enjoy my time with my partner. Want to visit next time as well.
P.A really quirky jungle/ tropical themed spa with genuine thermal hot springs. Nothing too volcanic or eggy but a good variety of pools from the very hot to the pleasantly warm. It's an independent place with an individualistic vibe but all in all it is good value, friendly and well fun with decent facilities and food/ drinks.
M.Fantastic experience, friendly staff, food to die for. You can’t go wrong coming here.
c.Absolutely awesome place - had an amazing time there with my daughters and daughter in law
S.The lost spring is a hidden treasure, so beautiful and the staff are fabulous they take your orders from the pool (you never have to get out haha) beautiful cocktails, food was amazing. We had a couples hot stone massage, I have had many massages but this one was by far the best massage I have ever had. Will definitely be back.
C.Perfect for a relaxing dip , the set out of this place and the landscaping add to the whole experience... awesome friendly staff also
J.Beautiful and relaxing okay. Very clean and tidy. Staff were very professional and incredibly helpful.
C.The most amazing cocktails I've ever had, delivered right to the pool side, followed by a fantastic massage from a very talented beauty therapist. Cant wait to go back again
H.Such a great spot for a relax! I did the full day combo and it was definitely worth it. Tasty platter and other food looked great too.
A.Great place! Great customer service! Would definitely recommend.
A.Lovely experience. Quietly spoken friendly staff. Pools awesome to relax in. Will go again.
D.What a beautiful place, we definitely got lost but that's all part of the fun, great cocktails too and loved the poolside service. Only let downs were the cost was ridiculous for the very little time we spent there, the change rooms are so tiny, no where near enough room for the amount of people. Also they should have a limit on how many people are allowed in the pool at one time, it was pretty crammed when we first arrived.
E.The best spring!Very beautiful 😍
Definitely come back again!
K.Charlotte is wonderful and caring her massge was just devine. The room was beautiful and warm
J.Really enjoyed the hot pools. Would highly recommend a visit to The Lost Spring.
D.Very enjoyable experience. Great service. Clean. Fun 😄
M.Perfect place to spend the afternoon. Good mix of hot springs, tiki vibes, polynesian music and poolside drinks.
G.The ambiance is really nice and romantic for couples. Staff are very accommodating.
v.Beautiful place, but for the price the basins and the lighting system would deserve a renovation (crumbling coating and hanging wires)
A.Superb choice of a romantic getaway venue. Super cosy, warm mineral water to soothe your skin and relax your body while enjoying some fine drinks with your loved one. Really enjoyed our time here, except for it being a bit too crowded than optimal. Well, can't expect too much since it had a lot to with the long weekend rush!
A.Great day out in the open pool spas - with the weather being serene, the glow from the blue/green water gleams across a beautiful setting at the venue. A lot of sun tan lotion on the bed of the pools dripping from the visitors, so be weary of dipping your head under water.
C.A tropical paradise located in the heart of Whitianga. The place to be if you are in need of a quick escape or a relaxing day away.
- Geo-thermal pools
- Day Spa
- Licensed Restaurant
- Happy Hour on a Friday night
- Sunday Roast
The opportunities are endless. Such and amazing place and well worth a visit.
K.Such an incredible spot in what is already a beautiful place (Whitianga). Everything about The Lost Spring is fabulous... the surroundings, the tranquility, the food and the service. Definitely a must do when you're on the Coromandel!
S.Dissapointed with the cleanliness of the pool. Even the locals said it was dirty. Leaves and sticks in the main pool. Especially as the cost is not cheap.
M.This is the best hot pool spot in New Zealand. Great for couples. It's adults only.
E.Excellent! Staff so accomodating, friendly, such a beautiful experience 😍 owner was just as kind, warm and friendly. Thankyou Allen and staff ❤
Y.Great place for spa treatments and hot pools. Feels like you are at a resort. Would recommend.
A.Awesome service, great environment. Highly recommend for a complete break from reality. Very relaxing, lovely food and drinks, love the hot pools❤🍹🍹🍹🍹❤
T.An amazing place to relax the mind and body. Just soak the aches away. We got the all day pool combo for $120. Great deal, all day pool pass, a platter, a cocktail, a robe and towel. TOTAL BLISS. Love coming to The Lost Springs. My friends and I try and come to celebrate our birthdays or just a girls Day. AWESOME!
T.So good!!! Feel fancy for the day and go!!! The cocktails are second to none and the platter was amazing!!! Poolside service A+
F.Quite underwhelming and crowded.
Please note: Borrowing a towel will cost you 5$, a locker 3$ and a robe 15$ (with the normal entry not sure what's the case with the packages they offer) so keep that in mind when you visit :)
Thought it would be bigger but the entrance fee is worth it for the amount of time you can stay!
I loved the drinks they offered inside, too.
J.Fantastic experience, lovely staff, beautiful surroundings. I will definitely be back
B.Beautiful place to spend the day swimming and just relaxing.
R.Best hot pools I've been too, pool service makes the experience even better.
J.This is a totally hidden gem. I was told by a friend that the pool is awesome. We had brunch there - the Egg Benedict was really yummy!
P.Simply amazing.
We went here for our anniversary and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Relaxing ambiance, peaceful music, hot pools, and cool drinks.
Had a soak and then went for a couples massage. Didn't want to leave and there is no rush.
The staff are friendly and the owners took care of us. Everyone takes pride in what they do and it's well deserved.
Will definitely be coming back.
S.Lovely place to relax and unwind with a good beverage in a hot pool.
F.Loved it, was like being on a tropical holiday. Highly recommended.
B.Wonderful place to truly relax. Great for special occasions, and nice not to have screaming kids running around! Food and service was also fantastic. Only downside was the Dip & Dine package didn't give us long enough in the pools.
A.We have been here several times and have enjoyed every moment of it... every time. A wonderful escape from busy life and just relax to replenish and recharge, and meet/see some interesting people from time to time.
Definitely, a place to visit if ever in Whitianga. Just be mindful of opening times. It is nicer to visit at night time when all the different lights make a big difference to the ambience and atmosphere, in my opinion. However, any time is a great time, and if you are romantically inclined there are many opportunities to enjoy your company with drinks and meals while lazing in the pools.
D.Had a 1 hour massage which was awesome, then 90 mins in the hot pools. Awesome place to go. We went off peak so not to busy
D.Felt like I was teleported to Hawaii. This place is incredible! Well worth the $45.
C.Beautiful place!
n.I really, really, really want to give a bad review so I can keep this place
a well kept secret. But it needs to be shared. We had a fabulous day. Sue gave me the BEST massage and facial. Staff are truly professional, friendly and the set up is divine.
Check it out!
a.Excellent day.. the staff are all lovely.
Jay who did my nails is an asset. 😍
A.Great place, professional work, kindness in dealing, I highly recommend it, the owner is generous
P.Cocktails and meal were good. A bit crowded with only a few pools to use. Beautiful tropical feel.
H.Best day spa spring I've ever gone to. Such a beautiful experience. Highly recommend.
R.Lovely relaxing place to visit! Three beautiful pools!
M.Lovely place to go after a hard day doing the tourist things or just a relax after work. The pools were very nice and the setting was excellent. several options available for example adding cocktails or food to your order while you relax in the pools. Changing rooms were a little congested while we were there so we just wrapped ourselves up and went to the motel
t.Absolutely magical experience, albeit a tad expensive. Did the pool combo with drinks and grazing platter. Very attentive staff and lovely facilities. Beautiful pools, swing bridge, cave and lots of flowers and plants. Only thing I didn't like is we were not acknowledged for several minutes by the front desk when we walked in and there was only one shower.
S.Really cool experience and well worth the money spent. Could do with a revamp as the pools are old and crumbling in places. . The changing rooms were not big enough at all and could do with an extension. But overall highly recommend a visit.
K.A rely nice place little bit expensive but worth it
H.Gets busy so book ahead. A few empty glasses left around and a palm frond nearly fell on somebody's head. Apart from that a good experience. Nice drinks and friendly staff. Worth the $45 but the platter doesn't look like it justifies the $100 pool combo
S.Nice to relax in the hot sping water. Pools are at different levels, the hottest at the top. Food and drinks are available and can be delivered to you whilst in the pools.
m.Perfect afternoon, an incredible water park creation, ask to see the history book in the restaurant full of photos showing the construction. Good food and service at a fascinating venue. Even had a bike rack!
R.They did a great job creating a whole atmosphere that made us feel like we'd entered another place.
M.It was absolutely gorgeous! I went during Easter, so was a bit crowded and couldn't order alcoholic cocktails without a big meal. So I'm definitely going back when it's less busy, and float around different pools with my Pina Colada 😍
A.Absolutely loved the experience. The ambiance of the place is mesmerising and you just melt into relaxing.
M.It is just the most amazing man made vision..
Top quality products, service, dinning and pools..
A most see for all ages, truly relaxing an unforgettable..
N.Came here for my second time in 2 years. Had the honor to meet the owner Alan that had the incredible vision of building this amazing place. Had such a great time talking to him about the history of the Lost Springs. I would rate this as one of the best experiences to do in NZ. Alan has made this place incredible. What a visionary!
L.Fabulous and relaxing.We did the Dip and Dine. Food was really nice. I had the lamb.
M.5 stars for the spa itself - poolside service, lovely environment (possibly a wee bit overcrowded), gorgeous pools. However was very disappointed with the restaurant - when you charge $40 for steak, it should be great quality. It was tough & too fatty. I'd highly recommend the spa, but skip the restaurant!
S.Great place to spend an evening, good food and an escape from the everyday.
R.I loved this place!!! Amazing ambient and the food is spectacular. I recommend!!!
M.Not cheap but well worth the money for a lovely day out. The pools are lovely but the steps do need to be marked as it is very difficult to see where the step is. I know I was not the only person there to stub a toe on the edge of a step. The meal was absolutely amazing.
K.We had an amazing experience here, girl gang of 4 for a weekend away. Despite our constant laughter, endless cocktails & platters in such a relaxed beautiful space, the Lost Spring was a absolute highlight & made for an incredible weekend away!
T.Absolutely lovely retreat. The thermal pools surrounded by tropical gardens creates an island escape experience coupled with yummy cocktails, and delicious food. I'll be back!!
K.Wow, what an experience, super nice day with quality food and super friendly service. Highly recommended. Also selling some awesome swimwear
D.Brilliant, great hot pools, cocktails poolside, fantastic meal, hidden gem in suburbia
G.Mini tropical paradise to while away a couple of hours in tepid to comfortably hot. Love the floating menus with a good variety of food and drinks. Book ahead would be a key piece of advice. :-)
D.We had the pleasure of visiting this on Sunday night... Great experience. Locals all helpful.... Sent us in the direction of the hotter pool.. Drinks not over priced.. Was so nice... A shame its over priced.. And then don't even give you a towel... Or a locker.. One drink each and a 2 hour soak for over a 100 is pretty steep..might work for overseas people but we are trying to help you guy's.
J.Very cool place. Well run and friendly service. Staff will take your drink and food orders from the pool and you can enjoy your drinks and food in the pool. Loads of options in addition to the hot pools with spa treatments and fine dining. Feels like a tropical resort.
M.Take yourself there for a treat and enjoy the surroundings you really feel like you are at a resort. If you can take the Friday off and miss the crowds then do... and Its a must to try the Pina Colada's they are to die for! The only small gripe would be the main pool could be a little warmer. Enjoy the time the lovely staff .
L.This place is amazing!!!! Loved it so much
L.Beautiful, rainy day is a good day to go, the warm waters are appreciated. It looks like the photos, nothing I post would do it justice because it was overcast, and, I was relaxing so dumped my camera! The cashier was a bit too efficient, you should have a good idea of what you want before going as they look slightly stressed if you take more than a few seconds to make a decision. Another person at the cafe made up for it though, mega-friendly. If you are solo I don't think you need more than the 1.5hrs, it's plenty of time to transform into a prune. Pricey experience @ $45. $60 is for 4 hours. I didn't have food or drink but it was delivered to people around me. Apparently the coffee was nice but too hot to hold... I hope the milk wasn't overcooked!
Pro tip; I didn't try this but a local told me if you leave your credit card at the front, they will give you an extra 1/2 hour. Let me know if you try it and the result!
R.Never imagined this kind place... Amazing,, wow😍loved it🤗i lost in to heaven kinda feeling so couldn't click photos of the place... I suggest you guys too just enjoy the spring bath instead of clicking photos.... 🤗😍💖🌹
B.This place is absolutely stunning. It has beautiful caves with crystals throughout them that you can both walk through and swim in. They have a few different pools of varying temperatures so something for everyone. My fave part about it is the poolside service!! A staff member takes people’s drinks (by drinks I mean amazing cocktails) and food orders whilst in the pool and brings them too you, what more could you want!
The reason I didn’t give it a 5 star however, is due to the size of the changing rooms, they are tiny, like you could fit 2-4 people max without it being crowded!
J.Very very beautiful
Well worth the money.
R.This place is truly exquisite and unique. I can't recommend it enough. So beautiful and relaxing, quite different from your normal hot pool experience. Its peaceful with no little people, the pools and gardens are stunning, its a definite must do.
S.Delicious cocktails and perfect temperature pools even in summer!
L.Beautiful relaxing spa, great food in a lovely setting
J.Such a find! You think you are driving through a housing estate and then....Amazing. Just go and experience the different pools, some very hot, relax with a cocktail and maybe dinner later on. Highly recommended.
R.Great place for a soak and massage. Can just about believe u are on an island oasis Awesome friendly helpful staff add to the experience . Highly recommend
L.Beautiful place I would love to go back at night
H.A must go place in Whitianga. I'd like to enjoy the spa again there!
r.Always a great experience , a great place to take friends.
S.Love it. Beautiful natural pools with rocky features. Lots of lush green trees and flowers. Many places to sit and relax.....the water is soothing and calming....
D.Just marvelous, my favorite place in the North Island
K.A very nice place to relax in a beautiful setting with 3 pools each with different temperatures.
Upon arrival you have the option (at extra cost) whether to be served poolside snacks & cocktails while you bathe, tucked away in a grotto or lounging on the poolside chairs.
Polynesian music, tropical & native plants sets the idealic scene for romance & relaxing.
You can also dine here or get a massage from one of the team.
S.Pretty nice place, quite funny the options they offer, we chose dip n dine and found that was better value for money by the end of our experience. We were going to choose the platter and a drink 1 but we saw what you get with that and we soon realised the option we chose was the better option 💯
B.Beautiful spot, great service. My skin felt amazing after soaking in the geo thermal pools all day. Massage and facial was of high quality also. A very fun and relaxing day all round.
J.Never been disappointed, however since Covid I would recommend booking even for a swim as they limit numbers into the pool to prevent over crowding. This is not a negative, it's a great idea. Food is beautiful, but once again book a seat. It feels like you have stepped into another country once you hop into the pool.
M.you must book, we didn't know this from the brochures.
We found the pools a little cooler than we would have liked for winter time.
Hottest pool was great, but main pool being a little warmer in parts would have been nice,
Lovely surroundings to relax in and plenty of space in the main pool.
M.Amazing adults only hot pools. Very atmospheric at night. There are different temperatures throughout the pools so easy to find the perfect spot. The pina coladas are delicious. It was crazy busy but the drinks came out quick enough. The music was mostly classic hits. Only criticisms are having to walk through the restaurant area in my togs to get to the toilets, Awkward! And not being able to make a booking by phone as no one answers it all call back when you leave a message. We had to turn up to make a booking and then wait in a local bar for 2 and a half hours. That is how busy it was. It was still worth the wait.
S.Beautiful place to relax and visit, can't turn down cocktails in the pool and very clean. Spa is also available on site as well as togs purchases and skincare items. Restaurant available on site as well.
D.Dinner was delicious, good service, & reasonably priced. Massages were as expected, but over priced compared to other places with similar service. I expected more pools with greater control of temperature given the relatively premium price for a hot tub. Drinks in the pool were quite relaxing, but had an extensive wait until pool side service came around.
Overall, would recommend to anyone willing and able to spend excess money.
J.This place!!!! Such a brilliant spot for adults only relaxation and spoiling! Have been to the pools, restaurant and had spa services all highly recommended
J.Came here with my husband for a couples treatment and it was sooo good! We got the twin journey package and felt so refreshed afterwards. The staff were wonderful and friendly and they didn't push you to buy their products afterwards. The pools are beautiful and well worth a swim of you have time.
H.Such a lovely experience with my partner. The staff are so chill, nice and approachable. The day spa was so nice. Left feeling very relaxed. Great experience.
E.Amazing! 2nd time here and would come again. Nice relaxing soak between the pools. Good food and yummy drinks, very relaxing and peaceful environment. Well worth the money
A.Enjoyed the tropical surroundings and the hot pools.
C.Great place. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot pools and paddling around the larger warm pools. They offer drinks for the pool and have a lot of sugary cocktails + wine and beer. The staff is super friendly and it's amazingly well put together. The only reason I docked them a star is because they're somewhat liberal with their interpretation of 16+. We were surprised to see a few kids who were clearly not teenagers floating around the pool.
S.Great place to relax and unwind. Order food and drink by the pool or go to the restaurant. Had an hours facial. Excellent. Antipasto platter for lunch which was delicious and best of all are the mango margaritas. Stayed 4.5 hours and loved every minute
D.A wonderful setting with great helpful staff, lovely music, good food and a very friendly atmosphere.
L.Absolutely 💯 beautiful
K.Amazing service, great atmosphere. It's like being on a tropical resort!! Get a massage here if you can, amazing experience!! 10/10 would go again! Food and drink was good too
A.SO GOOD! whoever you're with, this was a gorgeous experience for relaxing in a really outstanding facility. It's worth going just to walk around and see what they've built! Feels prehistoric in some areas. The food is expensive but its worth the splurge for the relaxing and enjoyable experience
E.OMG how did I not know about this place before?! It was sooooo relaxing. Would 100% go again. Was so chill I didn’t take my phone, but trust me, this place is beautiful and such a treat. The cocktails next to the pool and grazing platter were lovely also. Best day ever.
E.Amazing place, beautiful vibes,super hot pools,like walking into another world,like an oasis!Many variety of cold to warm to hot pools,pool side service for bar and food,totally enjoyed the cocktails while soaking.Very friendly service, absolutely professional and super nice,just makes your experience there so much nicer.Everything was clean and tidy.Absolutely recommend EVERYONE got there!!!!!!
J.Had a great time would definitely recommend for a couples getaway
T.Beautiful place to relax. Friendly staff, lovely food. Really enjoyed the different temperature pools, allowing you to find the one best suited to the weather or your preference. Poolside service is great too. Relaxed atmosphere and shade available for those of us that can't have too much sun.
S.Great place for dinner and the springs are awesome
J.This place is awesome. Great Birthday gift consisting of a Dip and Dine deal with my sister and aunty. Nothing like having a nice warm relaxing swim and soak in a natural spring in beautiful surroundings followed by a complementary glass of bubbles AND a beautiful main course meal of perfectly cooked duck and stunning dessert. Compliments to the chef and thank you for making my birthday so special. 🤗
K.Amazing place to rest your soul and feel like you are on a mini holiday. You can order delicious bar snacks and drinks while you are in the pool amid lush tropical surroundings. Love it!
M.Lovely spot, the top pool is a little hard to get to in a wheel chair, you will need help from friends. But the main pool is easy to get to and not to difficult to get in. Water was lovely and warm great place to relax with mates and have a few drinks
A.Amazing place to relax! Pricey. But worth it once n awhile. Beautiful tropical ambiance, several different pools, drinks delivered to the pool. Not to forget massages and beauty treatments also available and the best, no kids!
P.The Lost Spring is an "adults only" hot pool. It is beautifully sculptured so that it resembles a small river set in an out door environment gently winding its way along. It is like an oasis.
You can order cocktails and have them bought to the edge for you to drink.
There are three main pools ranging from cool to hot.
There is a restaurant, bar and a beauty spa.
j.Having visited many thermal pools, hot pools, etc I can say for sure that this place is one of the best and most unique in the North Island of New Zealand. A very different (in my opinion better) experience than the Polynesian spa in Rotorua, for example. Not a cheap place!! Just spent $175NZD for me and my wife to have a 90 minutes soak with 2 cocktails, 2 beers and 3 tapas dishes, but by Odin's belt it was worth every cent. Will definitely be returning, probably to do a half day instead of just 90 minutes (and bringing a bigger credit card).
S.New experience for me. Welcome friendly. Massage nice, though I thought the room needed a bit more attention. Looked worn. I might come back, if in the area.
M.Went there for a girls weekend on the dip and dine package, while a little pricey the pools and staff were lovely. Limited drink and dinner menu. A member of our party ordered the pork and it arrived barely cooked. When we mentioned it to the waitress she took it back to the chefs after agreeing it shouldn’t be like that, we then proceeded to hear the chefs arguing about it and generally packing a sad. It was extremely unprofessional and put us off our meals, as it wasn’t busy and we could hear everything. Also felt sorry for our lovely waitress who they gave a hard time to.
N.Lovely way to spend an afternoon. Very good staff and enjoyed the Pool Plus package with platter and cocktails. A labour of love for the owner still working to make it his dream. Good job
q.The place is awesome!
The water temperature is perfect, it can relax all the sore muscles.
Lots of people were there when we visited.
They have their own beauty products like body lotion and perfumes. I love the different scents.
D.Been to lost spring last week, it was a great experience. Tried the natural pools and it was very relaxed and calm. Definitely will be back to try the spa and massage option. Anyway I lost my phone and left a message to the reception and they were very helpful and found my phone the next day and they sent the phone by courier. Im so glad and appreciated their cooperation. =)
N.Lovely experience we just explored the actual large pools and made use of the poolside cocktail service.
B.Love coming down to Whitianga specially to visit these beautiful pools. Such a great place to go drinks delivered to you in the pool fabulous atmosphere. Great restaurant too!
E.So beautiful and romantic lovely crystals in caves such friendly staff. The cave was stunning took amazing photos we went at a time not many people would go so had a favtastic time running from Area to area testing the waters. They even bring your food and gorgeous cocktails to you in the water. The good is so lovely and the surroundings with trees and plants makes this place a little treasure. Great areas to get dressed shower hairdryers etc,and a cafe on the grounds too. Would love to go back soon.
P.This place has 3 pools. Hot medium and cold pools. There seems to be enough room and seating for all who visit and I appreciated the fact that is wasn't completely busy. You can order poolside which is a plus. They provide lockers and a changing rooms for each gender. We did not try spa due to booking schedule but I'm sure that would be good too.
C.A wonderful place, relaxing in the mineral water, drinks an platter delivered pool side, staff amazing,
B.Gorgeous, one really hot pool. Went here after a long weekend of hiking and camping - super relaxing. Very much a couples destination. $40 for the pool but everything else seemed quite over priced. ** the gate closes before the spa closes so if your getting picked up, your ride won't be able to get in.
k.Love this place great get away from it and relax
B.Lovely afternoon wallowing in warm/hot water with platter of nibbles and virgin cocktails. Didn't even notice the rain! 😄😄😁
A.Food was/is consumed in the pools, i saw quite alot of cocktails being slopped in the water as the glasses were not big enough or were over filled and sloshed over when people walked thru the pool 😒 did make feel nervous how clean could the pools be? I am not comfortable in public pools at the best of times!
The restaurant food was nice, i had an early dinner, went to the pools and then came back for dessert, the kitchen was overwhelmed (restaurant wasnt full) and i was told it would be quite awhile for any food (why there wasn't a dedicated chef doing only desserts i don't know) so it was suggested i get an affrogato - great, 45mins later i got the affrogato....how long would dessert have taken if icecream and coffee took that long?
There were lots of waitresses in the bar area - it looked like unorganised chaos
To be fair I did get a discount on the drink and an apology
c.1st time in summer, Great experience. Staff are friendly. Full body massage was amazing. Bit pricy though
2nd time is winter, pools were cold, every one was huddled around 1 hot vent. Food was average small and over priced. After dinner we all went home and ate toast lol.
V.Nice place. Worth going once to get to know it, but not worth going back because of the expensive price. I think the lockers should already be included in the price, it is already expensive. People end up not paying for the locker and leaving stuff everywhere.
s.Amazing place, so relaxing, friendly staff, food able to be delivered to you pool side. Lots of space and different pools. Definitely recommended. The only thing that bites really hard is the price so they loose a star here. $70 for the day or $40 for an hour. Compared to Wairakei Terraces at $25 for the day which is just as nice.
J.Very nice evening on Friday, happy Hour with great music.
G.Absolutely fantastic experience, would definitely recommend to anyone needing some pampering.
M.The best mineral hot pools I've ever been to in NZ. Love the natural outlook. It felt like we were in the Fiji or Hawaii with the music playing quietly in the back ground. The service is awesome. Love that they take drink orders and serve them to you while you sit and relax in the pool. Available are Complementry jugs of fresh lemon and orange iced water at stations around every pool. We didn't eat here but the menu looked great.
They have different packages available that includes massages and entry fees. Entry fee for 2hrs is $40 or all day is $80.
s.Awww this place is beautiful as love it. Would highly recommend to ppl going to whitianga its really relaxing the best. Wish it was up in Auckland .😍😗😗😍😂😂😢
C.The BEST relaxing experience in Whitianga.
An out of this crazy world experience of tropical surrounds, warm and hot pools created to feel like you're on a volcano, by the very clever visionary, owner Alan Hopping.
Imagine floating under lush hibiscus which droop down over the pools, that gently bubble away whilst you're sipping on a drink of your choice. Nibbles can be served poolside or you can eat and drink in the beautiful restaurant, inside the converted and beautiful appointed historic school, which over looks another cooler pool and waterfall.
Step out of this world for a day, enjoy a massage in the day spa or even just sit and swim in the pools, for an hour and a half. Various options available.
C.A friend recommended this place to relax. It looked ok from at the entrance but once we got in it is like a wonder land. It felt like there weren't many guests as the pools are spread out, super cool. You can order drinks by the pool or sit in the restaurant by the fire place to enjoy a drink.
M.Lovely warm relaxing pools. Beautiful food. Fabulous service. Warm greetings.
Fabulous place. Loved it.
E.Amazing love this place especially for couples 😍😍
A.Amazing place, it really feels to be somewhere in the tropics. Great staff attitude
T.We held a mature hens evening here and the service, food, drinks and soak were second to none. The staff and lovely owner looked after us all night and the atmosphere was fun. All round a very special night with some very special ladies - I am sure we will all be back!
d.Quite pricey, but worth it if you love the luxury. We spent $500 for a 1 hr massage couples, 1.5 hours in the pool & a beautiful pina colada with grazing plate for 2.
I came out feeling like I was on cloud 9
A.Not the cheapest pools, but possibly the nicest. Super friendly staff, really lovely pools. Highly reccomend it.
V.This place is totally amazing, who would have thought a gem like this be so close to town. Gorgeous pools in beautiful surrounding's, drinks and food served to you while you are relaxing in the hot pools, what more can you ask for.
S.Must go place in Whitianga.
J.OMG totally a must do. Very relaxing and a very friendly place. My friends and I felt totally refreshed after a relaxing dip
P.Had a midday meal. Roast Turkey and trimmings. Most enjoyable.
L.Phenomenal, although quite expensive. Lush tropical surroundings, cocktails delivered to you at the pool. Magical. Just found the largest pool a bit too cool.
S.So amazing, totally worth it!!
m.My wife and I had the TLS signature package consisting of 90mins in the pools and a 30min massage with a cocktail and grazing platter. All excellent especially the massage which we both wish we had extended to the full hour. Not too many other people so felt quite private.
S.Been trying to visit for years. Loved the set up, the cocktails, platters. Pricey but lovely.
B.What a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the hot water experience.
Grounds beautifully designed and maintained.
E.A little slice of heaven tucked away in Coromandel. We came here right after hiking The Pinnacles, to soothe our muscles and that was just the perfect finish for a day of adventures.
d.Fantastic experience and wonderful friendly staff - will be back again.
K.Wow. Just beautiful. Would love to have a meal there. We were just a visitor. But very up market. Looked WOW!
T.Lovely ambiance and good food too!
A.One of the highlights of our trip so far. 🏖👍
R.Went here yesterday; same-day booking was great and very quick. Had a 30min massage along with my mother; attended by Kana and Jocelyn - they are VERY talented and made us feel very relaxed. Bought an all-day pass to the pools, which was AMAZING. Even though there are only three pools, (cold, warm, hot) it's well worth it. Layout is like a little tropical resort in Fiji with music and even a little bar where you can order drinks and they bring them to you poolside. Provided with a warm robe and a locker. If you're looking for a time recommendation: go at night, 6pm+. When the weather is chilly, sitting in a steaming pool is awesome and you can see the stars. Although it might seem quite pricy, it is definitely worth the spend; great place to visit and we'll be returning again!
S.First time visit. Had a lovely meal and was very busy. Pleasant staff too.We'll be back again to look around the rest of the complex and another meal 👍
c.This is very special place to my husband and I ,23 years ago we got married here just as Alan Hopping was developing The Lost Spring. To see it now looking amazing, with outstanding service from all the staff, we definitely recommend to family and friends it must to do on their list when visiting whitianga.
J.Great, friendly service. More expensive than other hot pools I’ve visited in NZ but provides a higher level of luxury and service so worth it if that’s what you’re after and you really want to indulge or it’s a special occasion.
N.Wow, this place is crazy cool. Expensive as but you can find deals. As thats how we got in.
All though our visit was limited to 90 minutes the lady at counter gave us an extra half hour .
They have restaurant but they were fully booked. So didn't get a chance to check it out.
The water did have a lot of dead bugs and stuff floating around. Other than that it was a good visit.
O.Many Many Thanks for such Lovely Amazing Place!!!
Unforgettable experience! I would recommend to everyone to visit this paradise place at least ones. We will come again and again...
Many Thanks Dear Alan to You and Your Great Team for creating one more Miracle in our Wonderful New Zealand!
With the best wishes and great Respect,
Olga Seale, my happy mother Nadia (she speaks only about Lost Spring), family & friends
M.It was real cold in August. Even after asking the receptionist before we paid and went in..
We were very disappointed and shivered so we left after a short time. As did many other people.
I said I would not go back as it's very expensive. Especially after we were told ,it's our usual temperature, by the grumpy receptionist. which certainly wasnt true.
We Gave it another go today with family who hadn't been before it was warmer, but
I don't think it's worth the money.
D.Magical place to visit. The pools are so warm and clean, the food exceptional.
S.Recommend you go there for a weekend relaxation get the works may be a bit expensive but you only live once. The massage was the best, the platter they served up was very nice and the variety was good. Pool was quiet relaxing.
B.We were rained out of our planned activities that day, and our hotel manager recommended this since it would be fun rain or shine - she was right!
It's really cool approaching this hot springs spa, because it's seemingly tucked away between houses on a residential street, you'd never know that down the driveway is a lovely little getaway with warm water.
While it was a bit pricey, we really made great memories there. So much better than a generic hot tub, the main attraction for us was the indoor cave with warm water, where you could swim outside and inside in one large connected area, all warm. They also have a much hotter separate area and it's nice but feels like a fancy hot tub. For us the special part was the feeling of being in heated cave water, it was very romantic!
E.Amazing pools. I love going here for a relaxing or romantic day out. The staff treat you like queens. Poolside service with delish cocktails. The restaurant and facilities are very high quality with reasonable prices.
V.Beautiful place loved the atmosphere the staff were friendly and the food was amazing. Will definitely go back again..
H.Beautiful pools with lush gardens, a great place to relax and indulge in a massage and cocktails. A little overpriced I think, the changing areas are very basic with only one shower.
M.Sooooooooooo.... relaxing...not a cheap outing but really worth it if you want to relax and get away from the kids for a few hours! The poolside platter and cocktail deal was great way to spend the afternoon!
C.The most amazing place; 100% recommend!! Brilliant facilities, poolside service, fantastic food and drink... you can't go wrong with a visit to this place. Will absolutely return.
K.The Lost Spring is not necessarily a breathtaking attraction but is a great place nonetheless to relax after a long day. Users can choose to soak in pools of water of different temperatures. The water quality is acceptable, although the occasional debris floats by you. The poolside service was efficient and we were charged NZD$10 for a platter of chips at the end of our experience. There is only one shower. Be advised that the promotion described on a Go Rentals brochure is no longer valid at this location. The counter staff were friendly and receptive to negotiation when we encountered a problem.
J.Simply outstanding! A lovely little hide away that transports you to paradise. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the hot stone massage I had was bliss. Would definitely recommend!
J.Rather expensive for a 90-120 min soak, but a beautiful hidden treasure in downtown Whitianga. Water around 36 deg in the main lagoon, and 38 deg in crater lake, wonderfully designed and presented. Well worth a visit.
K.A perfect hideaway of luxury. We treated ourselves to a combo of relaxation in the pools with a delicious platter and cocktails and a couples massage - just devine! A lovely soak in the hot pools and a heavenly massage situated in the treetops. What a perfect way to end the day!
C.Went here with my partner for our anniversary. The staff are wonderful and it is a beautiful place to spend a few hours soaking and drinking cocktails. Can't wait to go back!!!
C.Been several Times now - never disappointed with the atmosphere & the chef does a fabulous job with the meals. The Lamb, Kymara & Beans in Jus 😋👏👍
S.A delightful gem! Pools are hidden away amongst trees, shrubs and beautuful flowering hibiscus. The pool plan has several little alcoves to peacefully relax (it's not over crowded) - and also enjoy a hand delivered cocktail! :-) We visited on an over cast windy afternoon/eve and found it very sheltered. Quite possibly the best environment for natural springs pools in NZ!
J.Love coming here. It's always luxurious. The prices are a little up there so it has to remain an infrequent treat rather than a regular activity. Loved that we could dine poolside, literally!
A.Expensive but relaxing. Nice to be able to have a drink in the pool. They used to have a time limit of 30 minutes which was horrible but now you can get 90 minutes and they give you some extra time as well. So it is 100% better than it was.
A.90 min soak in hot pools and a great platter. Fantastic.
R.Perfect finish to a long day of hard work. Many pools with different temperatures so easy to find a comfortable soaking area. Cocktail was the icing!
D.Happy Hour Fridays. Not just 1 but 2 hours of discounted drinks and cocktail specials. Amazing nibbles circulated. Great place to be on a winters Friday night!
Y.Nice communal pools, we didn’t try the treatments or cafe, nice smoothies. Don’t forget a towel and robe
M.Love this place soooooo relaxing
O.Oh my gosh! This place is phenomenal! I can't believe I have never been here!! Definitely coming back.
B.Great relaxing spot to visit. Make sure you allow time to fully unwind. The massages are really good and they even deliver drinks to you in the pool. Beautifully presented.
M.Pleasantly surprised to find this tropical paradise
M.Sipping on delightful cocktail while soaking your body in warm water...... life cannot get better than this..... amazing experience...... must experience !!!
A.Amazing! We are going back. It's expensive but well worth it... go for the morning, get the full package of pamper treatments, and stay till the evening. There's an amazing French restaurant in Whitianga (Poivre & Sel) which is a beautiful place to end the evening. Make a night or a weekend out of it... can't recommend this place highly enough.
T.Not quite what I expected, but an enjoyable experience nonetheless. Pricey, a little touristy, and not the natural wonder or spectacle of other similar thermal springs around NZ, but still worth a visit if you enjoy hot pools.
F.The hot spring is four stars, however, only want to give one star for the restaurant: Waiting for an hour and only served us two plates of garlic bread. And it is not a busy moment. Very disappointed experience.
T.Definitely loved the relaxing atmosphere this time. The cocktails in the pool are the best
V.$$. $45 Cheapest which gives you 1.5 hrs. But worth the treat. Staff & environment great.
J.Best hot pool complex I have found for a nights relaxation. DRINKS & FOOD served to you in the pools! Great landscaping framing a starry sky, array of temperature options.
k.Lovely place to chill in the evening. Friendly wait staff and great drinks
E.Awesome place, really well done. A fantastic place to relax for a few hours. Great service
S.Stunning grounds and pools of varying temperatures, serviced by outdoor bar service to the pool's edge... Lots of variety for any budget... Spa, pools, dining, bar service, product... and lovely attentive staff!
R.An absolute delight! Highly recommended and a must visit destination when in Whitianga or nearby. Very friendly, organised and pleasant staff. The place has excellent facilities. 👍
L.Good surrounds, a surprising place to find in Whitianga, worth it for the pools. Disappointed in the food though. duck was tough, steak not blue.
K.Absolutely amazing such a beautiful way to relax, rejuvenate and meet fabulous people. You would never believe that you are 5 secs away from town ... so picturesque. A absolute must on your agenda 👍
H.Fantastic alternative in Whitianga for a mucky day.
Unfortunately weather is not always fantastic outside of Summer in this part of the world, the last thing you'd want is to travel to a holiday town and be rained in. However, The Lost Spring is the exact compromise you'd want, with three relaxing hot pools (three pools ranging from cool, warm and steaming hot). You can soak away regardless of the weather.
Unfortunately, it can become a bit packed as all other travellers will come here when the weather gives in.
Tip:
They have promo store in the middle of town often with some nice deals. I was able to get a nice meal + soak special for a good price.
M.We had such a good time.
D.Absolutely awesome. Stayed for dinner package. Loved the spa and food was really good. Cant wait to go again and try massage package.
R.Can't wait to go again
S.Unexpected surprise! Well worth a visit, although it is a bit pricey. However, happy to support a local business.
S.Idilic. Little pricey, but well worth the trip. Variety of bathing areas, drinks and snacks poolside. Great for couples
A.This place is absolutely amazing the atmosphere the service incredible and the prices are pretty reasonable, we will definitely be returning.
M.It's actually a really good experience.. Although new to New Zealand and travelling..I was like " oh here we hos other commercialised siring" yes it cost to enjoy..but it's set out nicely..you can pay for a 90 min soak or you can all our 100's of dollars and go the full experience ...be served by poolside with cocktails the list goes on.. But it's nice..neat and enjoyable..Also Romantic xx

A.Still loved the place. Just quite expensive to go. Aka put another mortgage on the house to go there type thing but really good none the less.
K.So different . Great food and ambience but question the need for folk to wander through the dining area in their speedos or swim in the dining area pool. They remind me of performing seals :)
