Perfectly-sized plunge pool
Nestled below the client’s elegant Taupo home, this custom crafted 5m x 3m plunge pool has become a sanctuary for its owners. This pool was awarded a Highly Commended at the 2022 SPASA New Zealand Awards of Excellence.
“The client wanted a natural looking pool that felt like it had been there forever – almost as if you had stumbled upon it in nature. With the addition of boulders, planting, stones and bark – along with timber and paving surrounds – we were able to achieve a seamless design.
We were also able to ensure that we retained plenty of lawn space for their grandchildren to still enjoy backyard cricket and outdoor games”, says Taupo Mayfair Agent, Regan McLaren.
With the addition of the Naked Freshwater chlorination system, the client is able to enjoy swimming in beautiful fresh water, mimicking its stunning setting on the edge of Lake Taupo.
“Regan was a blessing right from the start. He immediately ‘got’ the vision that we had in our minds, and had the experience to turn that vision into reality. The result is superb – even better than we dared hope.”

Regan was a blessing right from the start. He immediately ‘got’ the vision that we had in our minds, and had the experience to turn that vision into reality.
He listened to our ideas but was also willing to make suggestions where he thought it warranted. The result was superb – even better than we dared hope. We have got the pool we wanted but a whole lot more, thanks to Regan’s expertise in both building and landscaping. He always seemed to know what we wanted even before we did! The greatest compliment we are getting from our friends is “It looks as though it’s been there forever!”
The pool from Mayfair is superb. It is good-looking, but also unusually strong due to the poured concrete base and the solid timber, composite and fibreglass construction which is custom built for the site and highly quake resistant. The filtration system too is magic. It is something we had never heard of until it was recommended by Regan, but we love it. With the NKD1 Fresh Water System we have delightful fresh water to swim in – virtually salt-free, chlorine-free and troublefree. The cost may be more than “dropping a shell into a hole”, but we are more than happy with the value for money spent. We love it, and it is something we can be proud of and enjoy for many years to come. We would have no hesitation in recommending Mayfair pools to anyone.”
