For senior citizens they can be a relaxing and rejuvenating treat.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re after a quick treatment or an indulgent day complete with champagne, lunch and a series of treatments, you\u2019ll leave a day spa looking and feeling like a million dollars. Treatment costs can range from $25 to $1000 and group packages can often be arranged.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>There are about 100 thermal hot pools around New Zealand.

Her descendants are still the kaitiaki, or guardians of this special place. The pools have a very rustic feel, with water of different colours and temperatures, from black to green, contained in basic wooden pools. The geothermal water comes from the 1500-metre deep Ngawha Geothermal Reservoir, and is laden with different minerals. Don\u2019t expect a fancy spa &#8211; this place has a down to earth, community feel, with an honesty box in case the office is unattended. Pools have evocative names such as Bulldog, Doctor and Tanemahuta, and range from cold to over 45 degrees.
