Kia ora everyone,
Hands up who’s missing our beautiful hot pools?
We are just checking in to say, hello and let you know while we don’t have much news right now, we do want to update you as much as we can.
Right now, our maunga and the surrounding area, including the Mount Hot Pools are still closed. Works are ongoing by geo-tech experts to assess the risk of future landslides and while that’s happening, our crew is also busy behind the scenes, assessing our venue and site to get a clear picture of the damage and understand what we do next.
We’re just as keen as you are to see the Mount Hot Pools back open again – if and when it is safe to do so. The safety of our staff and customers, workers, and our community is the priority. Our thoughts are still with those families affected by the landslides just a few short months ago.
We cannot thank you enough for your ongoing support, and as always, we will be in touch as soon as we can with any updates.
