Where the waters gather, we gather. And this winter, we’re creating space to rest, reset and relax together at Kiwa Pools.

As part of our winter wellness programme, we’re excited to welcome The Sauna Project Tairāwhiti to Kiwa Pools. From Thursday 28 May, you can book a wood-fired sauna session right here in town.

Many of you will know The Sauna Project from their regular spot at Tatapouri Beach. Here at Kiwa Pools, this offering will enhance your pool experience with sauna, inviting you to slow down, warm your body and support your wellbeing through the colder months.

This unique experience will run Thursday to Saturday from 1pm, for the next four weeks.

One-hour sessions are $26 per person
Paying pool users can choose a 20-minute ‘drop-in’ session for an additional $8.

To celebrate, we're giving away two sauna session passes!

🚧 Kiwa Pools – Changing Area Night Works

Tuesday 7 April & Wednesday 8 April

Kia ora e te whānau,

We will be carrying out night works in our changing areas on Tuesday 7 April and Wednesday 8 April.
These works will allow us to resurface the floors in the changing spaces.

There may be some disruption to our changing areas from around 5pm on each night as they set up to undertake this work. However, there will always be changing areas available.

Once complete, the level of grip will noticeably increase, and it will be consistent with the grip already experienced on Poolside.

We appreciate your patience while we make these upgrades to improve safety and comfort for all our kaimahi and customers.

Ngā mihi,

The Kiwa Pools Team
