A Darling Garden Oasis
Evoking a fairy tale escape, this wee plunge pool was customised at every step to nestle neatly into the client’s garden without dominating the space with either size, colour, or materials. If ever a pool blended effortlessly into its surroundings, this is the one.

This client had a beautiful vision for a small plunge pool nestled into their garden; something they could use year-round – for cooling off in summer with a cocktail in hand, or for a delicious hot soak in winter; i.e. the perfect private retreat.
To make their dreams a reality, good heating and insulation were a paramount for keeping the temperature refreshing in summer and maintaining the heat in the cooler months. The seating also had to be measured to just the right depth so it was easy enough to reach for another sip, yet still be sitting submerged while enjoying the pool.
They also were after a very particular colour pool reminiscent of the pristine Lake Taupō waters, which pool builder Plateau Pools ended up getting custom made by our expert fibreglass composites team. Plateau Pools call it 'pumice' in honour of the famous local volcanic geology.
What the client has to say…
"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.
We got to choose the size – a 3 x 3 metre, big enough to cool off and gently exercise and small enough to heat and have a chat and cocktail or wine.
We were also able to get a colour made to suit us as we wanted a particular style.
The team was skilled and efficient, and they completed the project within the agreed-upon timeline and budget. They paid close attention to every detail, ensuring that the pool was not only beautiful but also functional and safe.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and high-quality team.”
