All guests must adhere to the bathing guidelines provided by guides and signage around the pools. Any person disrespecting the rules will be asked to leave the pools immediately.
Talaroo’s hot springs pools are places of wellness and cleansing. We therefore do not allow any food or alcohol into the bathing or soak pools as it may compromise the quality of the waters and affect the safety of bathers.
