Best experience - This is exactly what I needed with studying and working full time my mind and body needed a reset so I thought I’ll drive to Rotorua and check out the secret spot. From the moment you walk in the atmosphere is calm and relaxing the team are friendly and knowledgeable they really make you feel at home. I walked in stressed and heavy and left feeling refreshed and alive from bathing in the forest to freezing my a** off in cold plunge I am totally coming back!

Special Spot - Very cool experience being in the bush whilst sitting in the hot tub drinking a cheeky Pino Gris. A stream running past, cool lighting. Service was great. Nice clean facilities.

And... Relax - Beautiful setting in the Whakarewarewa forest. Get 45 minutes in a private hot tub and unlimited access to the cold plunge pools and footbaths. The cold plunge pool was so refreshing, only lasted about 7 seconds though 😂 had coffee brought to our hotel tub which was cool and they supply free cold water too. You can then walk in the forest afterwards.

A best Tranquil Escape 😍🥰 - Here's a 5-star review for the Secret Spot Hot Pool: "Absolute perfection! We arrived at 8:30 pm on a freezing night, but the moment we stepped into the hot pool, all our worries melted away. The warmth enveloped us, and the serene atmosphere transported us to a state of pure bliss. The facilities were immaculate, and the staff ensured a seamless experience. Those staffs are awesome friendly and help us a lot from initial. A big thump’s up for them . Soaking in the hot pool under the starry sky was truly magical. If you're looking for a tranquil escape, look no further than the Secret Spot Hot tubs Rotorua. 5 stars isn't enough - it deserves a million! ✨❤️"
