Thank you Israel for a wonderful afternoon! Hot pools were very relaxing and our skin felt amazing after . the sunset was just divine and then followed by a lovely dinner at the Landing. Israel was a lovely host and we enjoyed our afternoon immensely.

A very relaxed and lovely evening. Israel was very kind and friendly. I enjoyed the thermal pool, dinner by the river, the Gannet colony and the sunset. The weather was perfect.

A rainy and overcast day prevented us from witnessing a beautiful sunset, but it did not dampen our enjoyment of spending a late afternoon for the New Zealand Twilight Escape with our driver Israel. The drive to the Palm Springs Hot Pool was relaxing even in heavy traffic. The pools were very clean and warm. It is advisable to bring your own towel, soap, and hair dryer for the changing room. We were not interested in the vineyard visit as it did not offer dinner, so our driver was able to get us a reservation at The Riverhead Tavern where we had a delicious meal with an excellent view of the river. We even were able to stop in the town of Helensville for a pic in front of the post office that is used for Brokenwood Mysteries! We certainly appreciate Israel’s flexibility in providing a memorable trip.
