A Darling Garden Oasis – Meet 2023's People's Choice Pool of the Year

Designed for cooling off on a sunny Taupō day, or warming up after a chilly day on the slopes, this 3m x 3m plunge pool might actually be the perfect size pool for the extremes of Taupo’s weather. Designed with bench seating and entry steps that still allow for plenty of room for a plunge, this tiny pool isn’t short on personalised features.

Perfecting the bench seating height was a science in itself - with a test run of cocktails in hand to ensure the seat was deep enough for the torso to be half submerged, but not too far so as not to be able to reach for another sip! This wee sanctuary is truly an entertainer’s dream.

The client was after a very particular colour which was custom created by our expert fibreglass composites team. In keeping with our locality, we named the colour ‘Pumice’.

Terrrazzo Veneto dropdown coping in Grigio and decking surrounds complete the very natural poolscape for a sanctuary that nestles beautifully into it’s surrounds.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Mayfair Pools Taupō to build a swimming pool in my backyard, and I am thrilled with the results. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free, thanks to the professionalism and expertise of the construction team.

From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was always on time, communicative, and respectful of my property. They took the time to listen to my needs and preferences and provided valuable suggestions to ensure that the final product exceeded my expectations."
