Our comment from Gimnasios Fitness about Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua:

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua is a hidden gem in the beautiful forest setting of Rotorua, New Zealand, offering a relaxing and tranquil spa experience. Guests rave about the private hot tubs, where you can enjoy the soothing warmth of the water surrounded by nature. The cold plunge baths are a refreshing addition, allowing visitors to cool off and feel rejuvenated between soaks.

The atmosphere is serene and perfect for unwinding, with many users emphasizing the peaceful surroundings and friendly staff. The option to have drinks delivered directly to your tub adds a touch of luxury to the experience. It's a fantastic spot for couples seeking romance, friends wanting to relax, or families looking to enjoy quality time together.

However, some guests have mentioned areas for improvement. A few visitors noted that the changing facilities lack privacy, as there are no enclosed stalls available.

Overall, Secret Spot Hot Tubs promises a wonderful escape for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying top-notch spa services. It's a must-visit for those exploring Rotorua!

Fantastic experience: An experience not to be missed. Secret spot is perfect in every way. The staff, the tubs and the overall atmosphere. If you're feeling adventurous would also recommend a quick dip in the cold plunge tub so refreshing.

Sofia Nordlund 1 year ago

Positive experience: We had a good time in our hot tub in the forest, very calming surrounded by forest and a small creek. Recommend going for a cold plunge or two to not overheat. 45min is a good amount of time to enjoy the hot tub.

Rahul Menon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We usually book a private pool at Polynesian spa but decided to try something different this time and were glad that we did! Very well set up, we went during the day and were treated to a relaxing hot tub in a serene location. We got the last tub and due to the spring season the plants around us had plenty of leaves so didn't feel any lack of privacy like some of the other reviews have mentioned. We'll definitely visit again!

Mumta Harakh 1 year ago

Negative experience: Peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Waited 25 minutes for our drinks to arrive at the tub. We pressed the buzzer twice but no response. The hot tubs need more cleaning

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua
Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua

Hi Mumta, Thank you for visiting us and letting us know more about your visit. We're sorry to hear you had a poor experience with us, we try to have drinks delivered in a timely manner and we apologise that yours were so late. We have also since fixed the buzzer issue you mention. We clean our tubs regularly and the water is continuously filtered and refreshed during your soak. As we are in an outdoor environment, small debris from surrounding trees do sometimes make their way into the tubs. If you'd like to talk to us more about your visit, please don't hesitate to email us at info@secretspot.nz. In any case, we are glad you still managed to enjoy the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Kind regards, Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

Sashini Sarangi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We visited on a weekend and booked online. When you get to the reception, they’ll give you locker keys, and you can pre-order your food and drinks to be delivered straight to your hot tub, which is a nice touch. You can also order drinks by just pressing a button while you're in the tub, which is super convenient! The changing rooms are shared, with toilets and showers available. You can store your stuff in the lockers and take the key with you to the tub. Once you're in your hot tub, it's private, and the vibe is amazing. Since it was the weekend, it was a bit noisy, and the tubs are pretty close to each other thsn we expected, so you can feel the crowd around. But the tubs themselves are super nice, and the forest view is so peaceful. We went in the late evening, so we got to enjoy both the daylight and the cozy lighting once it got dark.

Hi Sashini, thank you so much for your wonderful review of Secret Spot! It's great to hear more about your experience and we thank you for the detailed review. Just to note, we only deliver drinks to the hot tubs and food can be enjoyed after the soak. Our hot tubs are space 8 metres apart with native plantings between each tub and Saturdays are our busiest day. We're so glad you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you again soon! Best wishes, Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

Wai Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely enjoyed the non peak hours to have a hot soak in this serene private place. Lucky to come on 30 Sept as ticket price will be adjusted accordingly to rising cost of living. The native plants have grown taller since my last visit a year ago which provides total privacy. I listened to Spotify on low volume & enjoyed the entire experience! Worth every penny

Hi Wai, thank you so much for your fabulous review! It's so wonderful to hear you enjoyed your visit to Secret Spot and we can't wait to welcome you back soon. That's right, on 1st October we adjusted our prices by $4, after having held them at the same rate for the past 5 years. This is in line with other spa operators across New Zealand. Have a lovely day, Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

Kate Osborne 1 year ago

Negative experience: THIS IS NOT A THERMAL SPA. Dig deep enough in the FAQ and it states this but as far as I am concerned in Rotorua it is what is expected. Nice setting but not what I went there for.

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua
Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua

Hi Kate,Thanks for your review, we're sorry to hear you were disappointed with your Secret Spot experience. We advertise clearly in all our marketing that we use fresh forest spring water, including in our brochures, on our website's experience page, our chatbot, and the premises itself has a large mural photo of the freshwater spring that feeds our hot tubs in our reception. While we are not geothermal, we are thermal and we do believe we provide an authentic Rotorua experience that allows visitors to experience the beautiful Whakarewarewa forest in a unique way. We hope you ended up finding what you were looking for during your trip to Rotorua, it's a very special place to visit.Best,Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

S L 1 year ago

Positive experience: Nice place. Water was hot but a bit dirty from all the trees around as this is an outdoor hot tub. There are occasional sulfur smells depending on the wind direction. Would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't raining. They also have cold water tub for people to cool off if people would like to. They have showers available as well with lockers. Towel hire options are also available. There is a small tumble dryer for people to dry their clothes so that you are not taking wet clothes with you. Photos attached are some of the views from the hot tub.

Hi S L,Thank you so much for your review and for letting us know more about your experience! We clean every hot tub regularly, and water is continuously filtered through - however as it's Spring the seed pods do occasionally fall into the tubs, and we apologise for this. Looks like a beautiful view in your photos! The forest always looks magical in the rain. We really appreciate you visiting us and hope you have a lovely week. Kind regards, Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

Jeny Bohne 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We have been to the Secret Spot Hit Tub for the first time and it was mesmerising! We got our own tub (which could easy fit 6 People) in total privacy, even if people would walk by, they could not see the tub or the people, also the neighbouring tubs are not visible! Soo relaxing. Each tub comes with a beautiful view into the forest! If you order drinks at the check in, they will be brought out and each tub has a bell in case you would like to order some more drinks, even a complementary bottle of water can be found at the tub. Robes and towels can be rented for 5 NZD each, in case you forgot yours. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and they explained everything to us. Of you book in advance, arrive 15min in advance of your booking time to allow payment, order of drinks and changing time to not fall into your hot tub time. All left for you to do? Sit back, enjoy the warm water and relax! We will definitely be back! Tip: ask for the tubs at the end of the rows! We had tub 12 and only on neighbouring tub. ;)

Hi AlainaSo sorry that your visit to us had a hiccup, which took the shine off your hot tub soak. Obviously, we try hard to make everyones visit a great experience and we are disappointed we feel short in this instance. It sounds like the team did their best once the short coming was made aware to them and we will check all buttons to make sure they are funtioning properly.Kind regardsKeith

Nikki Burbidge 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great place, spa pools were awesome, only downside was the locker. Was given key to a locker, put my belongings in locker, when I went back after the spa I found someone else's belongings in my locker which I still had the key for and my belongings missing. Went to the reception and they had my belongings behind the reception desk, said there had been some sort of a double up , don't leave any valuables in the lockers!!!

Fantastic experience: Lovely setting and very private, but help is available at the press of a button. (Thanks for recovering my towel that fell over the edge.) The pool splashes over the side when you first climb in but don't worry - it gets refilled as you soak. Plenty warm enough and 45 minutes is plenty long enough.

Planet Books 1 year ago

Negative experience: I’ve visited 3 times in the last month. On two occasions the lights weren’t working at the hot tubs (5 & 6) and they were waiting for them to be fixed and yesterday the bushes had died back so people walking along the path next to me could see in my tub and there was a pretty good view of 3 other tubs surrounding me. It should be renamed “the spot”. I used to love it here when it felt secluded and you had your own private space, but not so much last Yesterday.

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua
Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua

Hi Planet Books,Thank you for your review, we’re sorry to hear you did not enjoy your recent experience with us. We’re pleased to say the light in the hot tub has been fixed, there was a slight delay due to a specialist being required to fix the light, however we substituted the lights with candles for guests. Each tub is unique, and the view varies from tub to tub as we are in a natural environment within an ever-evolving forest and, being winter, we have a few deciduous trees. We also recommend all guests watch the video before visiting us, as the tubs are individual but not private, meaning you do catch a glimpse of the tubs next to you. In any case, we really appreciate your support visiting us 3 times over the last month, we hope that despite your concerns you still managed to have a good relax. Have a lovely day,Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

John Davies 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Such a wicked spot! Not overly secret, considering the amount of signs you pass on your way in, but awesome nonetheless. The setting is amazing, nestled amongst the native bush. If you like taking hot baths in semi private/public spaces, then this is definitely worth checking out. If you don’t, then you should at least grab a coffee and rest your feet in one of the several smaller hot tubs. Currently lobbying my local cafe to install foot hot tubs.

Krystal Edwards 1 year ago

Negative experience: 1 star for the heat of the pool, it was a good temperature. We were pretty disappointed in the rest of the experience. We watched quite a few of their videos on Instagram the night before and it gave the impression that it was a secluded, peaceful, serene environment that would leave you feeling relaxed. It was very far from that. We entered into a chaotic reception area sharing with people ordering food. The changing room back onto the small Cafe area and is very small and not private at all. Showers have no doors, if you want to change in private you have to use one of 3 small toilet cubicle. Then proceed to walk out infront of people sitting down eating and drinking food. The hot tub we were in had a view of the metal fence line, carpark and public toilet in the distance. And on the other side you can see the other bathers in the hot tub next to you. Sound wise, not serene. Sounded like the background noise of a public swimming pool as all you can hear is the people in the Cafe part talking etc. It didn't feel worth the price. I feel the advertisements for this place are misleading. Once you are finished you walk back past everyone dining, it's very uncomfortable. Over all it didn't feel like an overly hospitable experience including when we left, there was no farewell or even acknowledgement of our presence (noting, staff were not busy when we left, they were just standing there) Money would be better spent elsewhere.

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua
Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua

Hi KrystalThanks for trying out Secret Spot and sorry it did not reach your expectations. I hope you can appreciate you visited on the busiest day of the school holidays, and yes we were busy. We did build a seperate bridge/ramp from the change rooms to the tubs to add privacy and to avoid walking through the Shinny Dip area.There are trees and shrubs between your tub and other tubs either side which you would have to look hard to see people through the bushes and the public toilets are hidden under a mound of grass. We have planted trees to screen the fence further, we are just waiting for them to grow. Sorry about the staff not acknowledging you on leaving, I have spoken to them about this as they usually say good bye to alot of our visitors.It's unfortunate I can't post images of your tubs view here.We wish you safe travels.Kind regardsKeith

Porschea Aria 1 year ago

Negative experience: The idea of the place is nice, but there is no privacy which was a huge down fall. I was shocked to hear I had to get changed in the changing rooms and then walk out in front of everyone to get to my spa. This made me extremely uncomfortable, to say the least. We could see people in the other spas next to us and hear them talking. I was expecting a nice relaxing private spa but it was not like that. The spa itself had a nice view and was great but if I had known it was very communal I would have not gone. I was immediately disappointed and didn't really want to do the activity after seeing how un private everything was. Wouldn't go back

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua
Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua

Hi Porschea, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback and sorry to hear we didn't meet your expectations. We are very careful not to label our hot tubs as 'private'. With the trees are still growing, there are still some gaps and having the communal changing rooms, parts of the experience are shared with other guests as you mentioned, although the hot tub itself is individually for yourself and who you decide to share the tub with only. Based on previous customer feedback, we have installed the separate ramp to the tubs to give guests going to hot tubs another route, which is slightly less busy and we will take your feedback into consideration. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review. Kind Regards, Nicole and the Secret Spot team.

I was worried that my two young boys wouldn't be entertained enough during our soak in the tub, but they loved it and managed to relax too. I really enjoyed jumping out and grabbing a bite to eat afterwards while my boys played the outdoor games on the green by the Café/bar area. I just adore things that let us mums and dads enjoy something relaxing while including our kids. All in all, a completely lush way to spend a few hours - total family was happy and entertained.

Hi Melanie, this is such a treat of a review to read, thank you so so much for taking the time to write us such lovely feedback! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves as a family and look forward to welcoming you back next time.

Negative experience: Definitely wish the staff was nicer. They told us they’d get the tub ready and we’d wait 15 minutes. We walked to the tub once 15 minutes passed, excited for our experience, only to find stuff (rubbish) was still left behind from the last guests who used the tub. We pressed the bell to confirm with hosts if facilities were ready to be used, only to get a remark of, “are you sure it’s not your stuff?”. It’s funny because we arrived 15 minutes ago and it kinda goes to show staff were not paying attention with who walks through those doors for business. Luckily we had some privacy with our experience on a Sunday night, but we do wish that the distance between each tub is increased for more privacy and tranquility.

Hi SarahThanks for coming for a soak. Sorry that your experience was not seemless and as enjoyable as you would have liked.Our Operations Manager will follow up with the staff on shift about this, as they are pretty good at tub set ups. Sometimes people get in the wrong tub that has not been set up, but we will check what happened.We promote the hot tubs as individual, not private as there is a chance on some tubs you can see and hear each other.I'm glad you enjoyed the actual soak, and hope to see you back in the future.Kind regards, Keith

Daniel Manning 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great business idea… looks very profitable. They need a better system for drinks service in the hot tubs (Currently bring a physical credit card, like in the 1990s) I suggest QR code with menu and apple/google pay. Chuck in free WiFi and you will see huge increase in drink sales.

Fantastic experience: This place is a must-visit, whether after a bike ride in the redwoods or simply for a snack. The mince pies and fries/chips are amazing! The cold chocolate drink is also great if you have a sweet tooth. Not to mention the shinny dipping hot tubs to relax your feet in, which is so worth it in the winter. Definitely recommend!

Dan Rowlay 1 year ago

Positive experience: Wonderful! A nice tropical garden style setting and tubs are big enough for four people. A wide variety of drinks may be ordered upon entry and they'll bring it to your tub. You'll have enough privacy, most of the tubs are separated by plants and trees (not or barely visible). Service is great, no fuzz and go for a dip in hot and wuuuhaaaa there are two shared cold tubs too!! Even if you're too much of a sissy, try to just stand upwards in it, until you get the sensation of your legs freezing up, then go back to the hot tub. You'll sleep like a baby that same night. The shower pressure is too weak and some lounge music at the tubs would make it a five star experience.

Hi DanAwesome you took the time to enjoy Secret Spot and meet our team, thank for coming.We thought music at the tubs was a good idea too when we built it, but quickly found that everyone wants different music, some rap, some classical, so we opted for nature instead to remain neuteral.If possible would you mind removing the Huka Falls video from the images you loaded to Secret Spot Google please? We are stoked you took the time to review and post info for others to learn more about Secret Spot.Safe travels Dan.Kind regardsKeith

Anne Landberg 1 year ago

Negative experience: Went too experience your hot tubs. Because area and the tubs set into the natural environment, was just what I needed. BUT got into the tub looking forward to relaxing. When I got an overpowering smell of chlorine. This was not a mineral, thermal water. It was highly chemical water. Very very disappointing. No where do you tell people this. Not happy

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua
Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua

Hi AnneGlad you took the time to visit Secret Spot, yes it is a lovely place to unwind. No where do we say we use mineral or geo thermal water. Our water is treated in line with NZ standards, and actually carry a lower chemical level due to another non chemical treatment system we use as well.We apologise that your experience did not line up with your expectations.I hope the rest of your Rotorua visit was enjoyable.Kind regards Keith.

Fantastic experience: Es war ein richtig entspannender Besuch. Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Hot Tubs waren sehr warm und in Kombination mit den kalten Tubs ein echtes Spa Erlebnis! Die Umkleidekabinen waren sauber und es gab auch einen Föhn! Getränke können vom Pool aus bestellt werden und sie werden direkt an den Pool gebracht!

Hi Eunji,Thank you so much for your review, we're so glad you enjoyed the setting and took lots of pictures!

Fantastic experience: Secret Spot is great whether you want a beer with friends or lunch with the family. The mini hot tubs for the feet are free, and there is space for kids and dogs. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Good range of drinks including low and zero beers. When the food van is open the burgers are great. Book in advance for a hot tub or chance it on the day. Sun or shine they're a great option.

Fantastic experience: This is a must do if you’re in Rotorua. We had the best time. The hot tubs were so relaxing and comfortable, and the cool plunge was a fun way to break it up. You can order drinks in the tub, while you relax in some beautiful NZ nature. Recommend booking in advance. Lockers are free and towel hire was $5 for towels for two of us.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place for a night out. You can rent a tub that fits 6 for 45 minutes. You can chill in the tub and then make a quick run to the chilling tank to cool down. They also have tub side drink and food service, which is awesome. Each tub is secluded, hidden within some vegetation for privacy. I highly recommend coming for a visit.

Positive experience: Great ambiance, friendly staff, good value. Just know that this is neither thermal source water nor water heated by geothermal energy, as implied by the name. As an idea, the business could be a tad more transparent about how much energy is used in a session and where it comes from.

Hi Guillaume, thank you for your review of Secret Spot, we're glad you enjoyed your hot tub visit! Thanks for your feedback regarding our water.

You get your own tub (up to 6), I got one with a last minute booking. You can get drinks delivered. 45 mins is a huge amount of time, I recommend finishing off with the cold plunge. Great pricing and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: I bought the tickets 1 hour before going there on a Thursday. 39$ per person and I think the price is really good in this case. Nice showers, you can put your feet in hot water before or after your time in the hot tub and they being the drinks you ordered to the hot tub. For me 45min in there was okay because I think much longer and it would have been too much for my body haha. But the hot tub itself was gorgeous. Surrounded by the forest. I wish this was in Germany so I could go there all the time 10/10 would do again. And the staff is lovely too :)

Hi Chloe,Thank you for visiting Secret Spot Hot Tubs and telling us more about your experience. We're sorry your visit was not what you expected. It is law in New Zealand to check the identification of any guest that looks 25 years old or younger when serving alcohol, we apologize that this offended you. The 45-minute hot tub soak begins at the time the guest books it, and we ask every guest to please arrive 15-minutes before their booked time for check in. We also have complimentary foot spas for after your soak if you want to relax further, or there is the option to book a double hot tub session for more time.We wish you all the very best for the remainder of your New Zealand trip.Safe travels,Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved this little place with a view of the gorgeous forest while sitting in a cedar tub listening to some relaxing music while sipping a glass of wine. It is surprisingly cheap (compared to almost every other place in New Zealand). The level of cleanliness is great, the staff is very friendly and the changing rooms were meticulously clean. The cold plunge at the end was perfect and I managed to do the full minute (woohoo!) I loved this place and would highly recommend to others.

Fantastic experience: A slice of paradise. Great for friends but also can be very romantic. I do wish there was some instrumental music in the background because it’s very easy to hear other hot tubs directly around if you talk too loud, but luckily that wasn’t an issue. We didn’t take advantage of the service, but you can have drinks brought to you. They provide ice water automatically. It was misty rain outside, so the hot tub was very nice! You can rent a swimsuit and towel if needed. I felt so relaxed after; highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Wow...it is just amazing. You have your own private hot tub overlooking the woods. You soak in peace and tranquility(occasional noise from the road but its okay) Birds chirping. Beware, they charge $5 PER towel(and bathing suit). so bring your own if you can.

Fantastic experience: During my recent visit to the Secret Spot Hot Tubs in New Zealand, I was treated to an experience that can only be described as pure bliss. Nestled in a serene, natural setting, this hidden gem offers a perfect escape for anyone looking to unwind and rejuvenate. From the moment I arrived, the enchanting atmosphere of the Secret Spot set the tone for a relaxing experience. Surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle sounds of nature, it felt like stepping into a secluded paradise. The outdoor setting of the hot tubs is particularly captivating, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural environment. The hot tubs themselves are the highlight of the Secret Spot. Filled with soothing, warm water, they offer a luxurious spa experience in the heart of nature. Sitting outside in the hot tub, with the open sky above and the tranquil surroundings, was an incredibly peaceful experience. The temperature of the water was just perfect, providing warmth and comfort while the cool air brushed against my skin, creating a delightful contrast. What really impressed me was the attention to detail in maintaining privacy and comfort. Each hot tub is strategically placed to offer seclusion and a sense of intimacy, making it ideal for both romantic getaways and peaceful solo retreats. The tubs are well-maintained and clean, ensuring a hygienic and safe experience for all guests.

Fantastic experience: Hot tubs were so nice. Great view and felt very private. Changing women room were big but no stalls to change in only open area. Three toilets. Three showers but open (no doors). Freely staff.

Fantastic experience: Very secluded springs surrounded by ferns and with a view of the stream. A lovely spot to relax and the ice pools were super refreshing afterwards! Good value.
