Splash Centre Whanganui

We know many of you are eagerly awaiting the return of the steam room, and we appreciate your patience while we finish the final repairs.

The good news is we're now waiting on the last piece to arrive before the team can reinstall the ceiling. Assuming the courier gods smile upon us and no parcels decide to embark on an unexpected tour of New Zealand, we're aiming to reopen on Wednesday 10 June.

Thanks for bearing with us a little longer – the steam room is looking forward to seeing you just as much as you're looking forward to seeing it!
