Third time here and we had a wonderful time. Every detail here with the food, staff, service, smiles down to the decor is just beautiful. The sauna infusion is defo worth a shot and for anyone brave enough to take a dip in the cold plunge… I had made an error with my booking and the man at check out helped hugely which I appreciate. Thank you for a peaceful escape at Maruia Hot Springs.

We stayed at Maruia Springs for a night. The price suggested a higher standard. We thought of booking 2 nights but decided to try out the experience first. The facilities are a little shabby, although improvement work seems ongoing. It was very pleasant laying in the hoot pools even in the rain. But the construction using large granite boulders makes it hard to find a comfortable seat or to move around. Paths are gravel, which is not conducive to walking around in bare feet from rooms to pools etc. The food was mostly OK. The soup would have been better with less salt. The lamb was fatty and lacked flavour. The staff have been helpful and friendly. Overall we found it a pleasant stay, but very overpriced.

Maruia offers the perfect blend of Resort life meets Wes Anderson and Fawlty Towers. Our fave staffer is Joe, who manages to deliver seamless and fabulous 5 star service amongst the chaos of various family groups, tour groups, and urbanites there for a wee 'trip'. We love Joe! We love Maruia! We love its Japanese heritage and the fact the staff seem to do everything. The guy that makes your coffee also takes the sauna infusion, then serves you dinner two hours later. It's the best blend of quirky resort life and there's nothing else like it

Maruia is certainly unique! It is a picturesque location, away from the hub bub of life. The amenities are good, the rooms spacious, the pools fantastic and the guest lounge a cozy haven on a winters day. However, to enjoy Maruia you must lower your expectations of four star service. An error in booking meant our organiser failed to book enough rooms for our group. The reception staff informed us they were fully booked and seemed to think the matter resolved - despite us travelling more than 4 hours and a plane ride before that to reach the location. We said a member of our party was happy to sleep on the floor if a mattress could be provided - we were happy to pay a fee, of course. It took three requests by three separate members of our group til they ultimately said "it's not possible" with zero empathy or alternative solutions offered. Finally we approached a fourth staff member - Joe - who had some empathy - and he arranged for a mattress in one of the rooms. The next morning, a room had become available, but they did not mention it to us and when I enquired at reception - to the same ambivalent, slow, rude and unhelpful person as the day prior- was told I was lucky "as they'd listed the room online and no one had taken it". We had asked them the night prior to let us know if a room became available and they assured us they would. For $357 a night, I'd expect better and more accommodating service than this. It's almost comical how disorganised staff are, and how disinterested some of them are in helping you. We arrived for a dinner reservation two minutes early and were told "you're too early, we can't serve you" and they sent us away. The manner is brusque, apathetic and poor. Joe was wonderful and allayed some of the issues, but service was wildly inconsistent. It's a beautiful spot and I would hate to see the consistent poor reviews regarding customer service here derail a once flourishing hospitality venture. Without Joe's efforts, I wouldn't have been able to recommended this place to friends.

Stayed for 1 night in the non powered site. It was quite expensive! Parts of the area was blocked off for renos. Upon our arrival, the guy at reception didn't give me a map to navigate our way around the site. Especially since it was dark! He didn't give bathrobes or towels! I just found out we were supposed to have been supplied with these upon arrival. In the changing rooms there were no safety mats to avoid slips. It would have been nice to not worry about slipping! Although this place is surrounded by beauty and is stunning. It would have been nice for someone to show us around.

Having driven past this hotel many times, I was excited to book in for a night with a friend and to enjoy the hot pools and what looked like a cosy and relaxing place to be. Positives: The lovely young American man on reception when we arrived was super helpful and friendly when we arrived. The location is stunning and the outdoor hot pools were a real treat. The deep tissue massage I booked - the masseuse did a wonderful job. Loose leaf tea in the rooms was delicious Negatives: Where to start.... Paper thin walls/ceilings in the room - I could hear someone snoring all night in the room above me and it kept me awake. The rooms were small and while renovated, not worth the price. The bin in the bathroom had not been emptied from the previous guests. The room was not worth the price. The dinner - the entree of soup was served without any bread and was very small. My friends lamb was tough and chewy. Overall an underwhelming meal for the price. I left something behind in my room (cleanser) and when I contacted the hotel less than 24 hours later to say I would call past and pick it up, I was told that it had been thrown out for 'hygiene' reasons - I was not even given a chance to recover it. Very costly to me! We went to check out at 7.30 am and reception was closed and inaccessible and there was no key drop area or advice around reception hours in the window. It is a lovely setting and the potential for this hotel to be a fantastic place to visit it there. It did not live up to my expectations however, and I doubt that I will go back or recommend it - especially for the very high prices.

My wife selected this place. Great choice. The food was a fine dining experience considering the remote location. Nearby trails to walk. We stayed in a pod. Cozy. The bed was heavenly. Walking distance to the potty. The spa was very relaxing with the various pools. There is a cold plunge pool. We both had booked a message. Mine was great. I had some spots well worked on my left calf and back. The red Beech forest is beautiful.

Absolutely refreshing and beautiful experience. We loved it. We wished we stayed longer. Highlights + Room comforts with everything you need including bug spray (heaven) and soft robes and towels. + the tea selection was incredible, we had the sleepy tea mix and had a wonderful sleep. + the hot springs and outdoor areas are free to use all hours which is wonderful. We tried it all (sauna, steam room, plunge, hot and cold showers, and hot springs). It was misty rain and nighttime but still very relaxing and enjoyable. + there is insect repellent on tap which smells amazing and is handy for outdoor. + we explored the nature trails and got close to the river which was awesome, decent amount of sandflies so cover up if need. + the meals were great with fresh ingredients and very nutritious. + I bought many of my gifts to take home from here, such a wonderful friendly vibe.

We really enjoyed our time at Maruia Springs. We stayed in the campground and found that the toilets were clean and close by. However, showers were a bit further away. The pools were lovely, but make sure to use the provided insect repellent! Sand flies love the pools too. The food at restaurant is delicious, but I found serving sizes to be quite small. While you’re there, make sure to partake in the wellness classes offered. I really enjoyed the guided sauna experience! Unfortunately, our stay was minimally disrupted by ongoing works and despite indoor pools being marked on the map we were provided, they were no longer available.
