We’re the first to operate with a Solar Field, using solar thermal collectors to heat our pools. Even on the shortest winter days, our solar array meets 100% of the heating needs when the sun is out. Excess solar energy is stored and supplemented by energy-efficient heat pumps powered by South Island hydro schemes, ensuring consistent heating without compromising sustainability.
