Come in, the water’s warm

Central Queenstown’s first hot pools complex, Bathe by Aluume, an artist’s impression of which is pictured, is due to open on Friday.

Surrounding the Queenstown Mini Golf site on the corner of Brecon St and Cemetery Rd, the facility has been developed by Australia-based entrepreneur and engineer Tim McMahon.

Clad in weathering steel, stage one comprises a communal pool and five private pools with provision for a second stage.
