Napier's Ocean Spa to close for maintenance

Taking on the ownership of the city’s Ocean Spa as of 1st February, Napier City Council has closed the facility for what is describes as “necessary repair work”.

As of last Wednesday, the Council took on responsibility for operations, staffing and management of the Ocean Spa, Ocean Club Gym and The Bach Cafē.

Advising that it is important that the community understands that critical maintenance needs to happen at the pool complex ahead of any aesthetic upgrades, Napier City Council Executive Director of Community Services, Thunes Cloete commented “what’s going to happen when the doors are closed is essential remedial maintenance and upgrades.

“Much of the work will take place in areas the public won’t see but it will be very important for reliability and safety reasons.”

“It’s important to us, as the new caretakers of this wonderful and much loved destination, that we provide a clean, safe, and modern facility everyone can enjoy. To do this safely, all facilities will need to be closed for a short period of time. We’ll get each area open again as soon as we can.”

• Ocean Club Gym will be closed from 1st to 8th February 2023
• The Bach Cafē will be closed from 1st to 27th February 2023 

While Ocean Spa Pools will be closed for at least eight weeks. However, its gym reopens as of today.
