You'll be directed to the NZ lounge which will be very busy if you're on the morning flight, haven't been there in the afternoon.
You can use the SQ lounge too, which is like a mausoleum by comparison, but they seem not to encourage it. I understand it's due to be refurbished soon.

You can use either lounge, dont expect too much.

Im on that same flight in a few weeks (on a Sat though).

Although there are about 75 airlines that use the NZ lounge, I looked at what flights are departing and on a Sat arvo at least, there is only a VA and a VS flight departing in the few hours before the TG flight leaves. The NZ Lounge is huge so I wouldn't expect it to be that busy around 2-3pm.
You are entitled to use the SQ Lounge although they will almost certainly insist you use the NZ one (take a print out of the *A lounge access rules if you really want to get in). I would expect the SQ one to be much quieter, smaller but have worse F&b offerings.
Lounge hop if you want but I suspect you will quickly find the NZ Lounge is the better option.

The TG F experience starts when you board, not when you get to the Lounge.

I have been to the NZ lounge previously & had put it in the Ok category. Seems like the SQ lounge must have very little going for it other than being quiet
