About

Set against the foothills of Mt Hutt in the alpine village of Methven, Ōpuke Thermal Pools & Spa offers a refined, uniquely New Zealand bathing experience.

Proudly locally owned and operated, Ōpuke brings together premium, architecturally designed hot pools, a day spa, and relaxed hospitality spaces, all underpinned by a strong commitment to sustainability. Our promise, “Sourced from the mountains, warmed by the sun,” is brought to life through carbon zero operations, with pools heated entirely by solar energy.

Choose between three bathing experiences:

  • Discovery offers a family-friendly environment with a lazy river and aqua play

  • Tranquility an adults-only retreat featuring a swim-up bar and restaurant showcasing local flavours.
