Reminder for Moana Pool spa lovers!

We’ll be temporarily closing the spa pool for planned maintenance starting Monday 17 August.

The work is expected to take about five days, so the spa should be back up and running by Saturday 22 August.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

For all the spa lovers that visit Moana Pool, we’ll be temporarily closing the spa pool for planned maintenance starting Monday 17 August.

Our team will be working on the heat exchanger pipes in the plant room that keep the spa nice and warm. The work is expected to take about five days, so the spa pool should be back up and running by Saturday, 22 August.

We know how much you love that warm soak, sorry for any inconvenience.

Early closure for Te Puna o Whakaehu today

Unfortunately Te Puna o Whakaehu will be closing at 4pm today due to low staffing. Fortunately this is a rarity, but we do apologise for the inconvenience to our customers. At this stage we are all set to open as usual tomorrow morning.

Due to the forecast overnight temperatures and the likelihood of icy road conditions, Moana Pool and Te Puna o Whakaehu will have a delayed opening tomorrow morning (Wednesday, 5 August).

We will open at 10am, allowing time for road conditions to be assessed and to help ensure the safety of our staff and customers travelling to the pools.

Please keep an eye on our page tomorrow morning for any further updates if conditions change.

Thank you for your understanding.

The Otago Short Course Swim Champs are on at Moana Pool this weekend.

There will be disruptions to the deep end of the Main pool and two shallow end lanes during these times:

👉 Sunday 10 August | 9am – 11.30am, and 1.30pm – 3.30pm

There will be no public diving during the event times.

Just Swim lessons and Sunday Aqua Fit will run as usual but parking will be difficult so please allow extra time for this.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Due to the current road conditions, Moana Pool will now reopen today at 12pm and close at 7.30pm - to ensure the safety of our staff and customers.

Te Puna o Whakaehu will close at its usual time. However the leisure pool (and other play space alternatives) will not be available from 3pm.

We apologise for the disruption and appreciate your patience.
