Enjoy the ambient outdoor thermal hot pool during the day surrounded by luscious fern trees and birdlife or at night the tranquillity and magical lighting that is truly special.
The pure geothermal mineral water running continuously through all pools is non-chlorinated and provides a myriad of health benefits.
The ancient water comes from a deep volcanic river and is heavily laden with nourishing minerals. It is crystal clear, odourless and soft. All our pools are emptied, cleaned and refilled every day ensuring the purist bathing experience.
Relax after your soak with a cold drink or ice cream in the picnic grounds. Towels and swimwear is available for hire
Only 5 minutes’ drive from Tauranga CBD, Fernland Spa is your #1 stop for relaxation, rejuvenation and fun for the whole family!
The grounds also have private pools available for hire along with BBQ and camping facilities, making for a fantastic retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city!

The place is clean and its affordable...
Thank you for your review :)
The pools here are OK but the seating is identical everywhere and it is uncomfortable making it hard to relax. The ambiance and surroundings are great though. There were umbrellas but they were mostly not covering any of the seating area so if you wanted to be in the shade you would have to kneel in the middle of the 1m depth pool. Changerooms are very dated but functional.
Hi Jo-Anne, thank you so much for taking the time to review Fernland Spa and for your constructive feedback. We are always trying to improve our facilities and we are doing renovations over the next 2-3 months. We hope to see you again sometime soon :)
Had good time with friends.

Very relaxing and comfortable.
It was the first visit in eight years, and it was just as wonderful as I remembered. All our daily fatigue melted away and felt completely refreshed. We will definitely come back again!
