flag New Zealanders are building backyard pools instead of overseas trips due to high travel costs and warmer weather.

flag Rising travel costs and warmer summers are leading New Zealanders, especially in cities like Auckland, to replace overseas vacations with backyard swimming pools. flag Once considered a luxury, pools are now seen as practical, value-adding upgrades that boost home appeal, support wellness, and enhance daily life. flag Custom concrete pools, adaptable to small or irregular yards, are increasingly popular, often integrated with outdoor living spaces. flag Modern designs focus on sustainability with energy-efficient systems, smart controls, and water-saving features. flag Building a pool now requires expert coordination, increasing demand for full-service builders. flag Though costly upfront, families view pools as long-term investments in comfort, health, and property value, reflecting a cultural shift toward local, sustainable living.
