Nothing beats relaxing in a hot tub or pool while taking in spectacular views, and we think we’ve got the best tubs and views you’ll find anywhere in the country!

Enjoy the hot pools in Lake Tekapo, where you can experience total relaxation in an alpine environment 720 metres above sea level. The three hot pools are filled from an underground source near Lake Tekapo – while the water is not geothermal, it is exceptionally pure. Temperatures range from 36.5 to 38.5 degrees Celsius.

There’s also an incredible range of private tubs at our luxury lodges, cottages and farmstays, with plenty of opportunities to soak and unwind. Take in the spectacular daytime views, watch the sun set behind the Southern Alps, or gaze at the star-studded night sky in the world’s largest gold dark sky reserve.

Hot tubs and hot pools – just one reason you should visit the Legendary Mackenzie!
