Secret Spot Hot Tubs is forest bathing at its finest. Soak in your own cedar hot tub surrounded by native ferns, overlooking the stunning Whakarewarewa Forest and Puarenga Stream. Each hot tub accommodates up to six people, with drinks delivered directly to your hot tub at the push of a button. Our Rotorua hot tubs provide an idyllic setting to reconnect with family, friends, and nature.
Your Rotorua hot tubs experience will include a 45-minute soak, as well as complimentary cold cedar plunge tubs, a locker for your belongings and a free Shinny Dip foot hot tub. Towels, swimwear, and robes are all available for hire at reception.
Our Rotorua hot tubs are filled with fresh forest spring water heated to a cozy 39.9 degrees Celsius. The fresh non-geothermal water comes from a beautiful aquifer spring high in the forest and is then treated to NZ Pool Water Quality Standards with our Enviroswim treatment system. Our water has minimal chemicals and only 0.25ppm of chlorine, which is half the chlorine level of municipal drinking water.
This means our water is friendly on both our bathers and the environment.
Chill out with our new ‘Brass Monkeys’ cold plunge cedar tubs. Sitting at a chilly 11 degrees Celsius, these plunge tubs are a great way to cool down during your hot soak. Hot and cold hydrotherapy is known to improve blood circulation, ease muscle tension, and reduce fatigue (great after a day on the bike!).
Meanwhile, forest bathing is a gentle, mindful way to support your body’s natural wellbeing. Time spent among trees helps lower stress hormones, reduce blood pressure, and calm the nervous system. Breathing in forest air exposes you to natural plant compounds called phytoncides, which can boost immune function and increase feelings of vitality. Many people also experience improved sleep and reduced muscle tension after spending time in nature, especially when combined with our hot tub/cold plunge experience.
