Rest & recovery

Our plunge pool and hot pools can not only be used for ultimate relaxation, but can be used separately or together to aid muscle recovery and relieve fatigue, with many athletes and local sport groups using our pools for just this. 

For total rest and relaxation, spend time in our sauna and steam room to relieve tension and reduce stress. Please bring an extra towel to use in the sauna. 

Gareth Duder, Crusaders Head of Performance
“The players love getting down to utilise the facilities at He Puna Taimoana. We target the use of the sauna and cold pools to help facilitate recovery from training and games. Having these available right next to the hot pools is a fantastic way to relax and recover from our training stressors and keep our players fresh.”
