Maori tribe reveals hot pools and spa plans in Queenstown
Plans are in the works for a NZ$25m (£12.6m, US$20.6m, €15m) hot pools and spa complex in Queenstown, New Zealand expected to draw more than 300,000 customers annually.
Ngai Tahu Tourism is in talks with the Queenstown Lakeview Holiday Park on leasing 0.75 hectares of land to facilitate the new site while the proposed development would include 12 large public hot pools, four smaller private hot pools, changing facilities, a health spa, reception and retail building, and a café-restaurant.
The Lakeview site is being pushed by Queenstown Lakes District Council as the preferred home for a NZ$50m (£25.2m, US$41.2m, €30m) convention centre proposal, possibly linked to a casino-hotel complex to be built by SkyCity Entertainment Group.
The Maori tribe already operates Glacier Hot Pools at Franz Josef on the west coast of New Zealand, which features three public pools, three private pools and a spa.
