Inflatable Weekends - throughout the winter season the Makino puts an inflatable up on the water every weekend from 11.30am - 1.30pm, no extra charge for using the inflatables! We can cater to any groups needs, kayaking sessions, rafting, water safety, etc. Come on in and pay us a visit!

๐Ÿ’™ Heating Update โ€“ Tuesday 2:50pm ๐Ÿ’™

Good news โ€” our pools are heating up again.

Please note it will take around 24 hours for the pools to return to their usual temperatures, so the water may still feel slightly cooler than normal in the meantime.

Thank you for your patience and support while we worked through this

Kia ora Makino whฤnau,

We wanted to give everyone a quick heads up that we are currently experiencing heating issues with our indoor pools, which means the water temperatures may feel slightly cooler than normal at the moment.

Our team is actively investigating the issue and working to get temperatures back to normal as soon as possible.

We understand warm water makes all the difference and appreciate your patience while we work through this. Thank you for your understanding and continued support ๐Ÿ’ง

Weโ€™ll keep you updated and share more information as soon as possible.

๐Ÿ’™ Thank you for bearing with us while we get things sorted.

๐ŸŒฑโœจ Matariki at Makino โ€“ Tupuฤnuku โœจ๐ŸŒฑ

This week we celebrate Tupuฤnuku โ€” the Matariki star connected to food grown in the ground and the changing of the seasons.

Traditionally, Tupuฤnuku signalled that the summer harvest had ended and it was time to prepare for the colder months ahead. It reminds us to reconnect with the whenua, plant new beginnings, and nourish ourselves and those around us.

At Makino, we see Tupuฤnuku as a reminder that wellbeing starts with the simple things โ€” moving our bodies, caring for ourselves, and sharing moments together ๐Ÿ’™

To celebrate Tupuฤnuku, weโ€™ll be sharing a free fruit bowl at Makino ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŠ
Grab a piece of fresh fruit, enjoy some time in the water, and take a moment to connect with your whฤnau and community.

๐ŸŒฑ Nourish your body
๐Ÿ’ง Move and recharge
๐Ÿ’™ Share with others

He oranga wai, he oranga tangata.
