Delightful! Don’t miss this unique opportunity! - A delightful setting in a secluded wooden barrel hot tub soaking the stress of the day away. Live music was in the background. Cold drinks were available and delivered. It was perfect.

Just sat and relaxed and left feeling refreshed. - An awesome way to relax. Soaking in a hot tub with a glass of wine. A must do experience while in Rotorua. Close to town. Highly recommend.

Perfect evening soak - We booked a hot tub in the evening while freedom camping across the road and it was exactly what we needed. The hot tubs are very private and surrounded by trees, you can just about hear if the one next door is being used but not enough to disrupt. So great to be able to have drinks delivered out to you in the tub too, a cold beer made the prefect companion to the hot water. The facilities are also lovely, rainfall showers and hairdryers make a additional great treat if you’re camping like us.

Relaxing and refreshing - What an experience! From the very friendly, helpful reception staff to the hot pools themselves couldn't have been better. We had a great time and will go back again sometime when next in Rotorua.

A dream come true!! - Being from Queensland there isn’t anything really like this, it has always been on my bucket list to do, and secret spots really out did themselves by making my dreams come true, my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed the cold plunge as it was extra warm when getting back into the hot tub!! Would 100% recommend this and will be doing this again in a few days hehe 🤩🤩🤩

Amazing experience - This is our third time to the secret spot now and it is always an amazing experience. The service is great, the hot tubs are lovely and the facilities are always clean. The tubs are so relaxing and the outlook is peaceful. The added bonus is the live music today too.

Enjoyed our time in a truly relaxing place - Beautiful location with modern, clean facilities and very obliging staff. The tubs are well spaced apart and individually surrounded by foliage. Walkways are thoughtfully designed and covered where necessary so that you can safely walk around barefoot.

Unique fun experience - We love the secret spot. We usually go after world class free mountain biking. We love the burgers, they have tasty mustard mayo and double meat patties, best burger in North Island I reckon. Also great selection of good George drinks available. Hot tub to soak weary feet in, very unique. Live music Saturday afternoon, an all round fun experience.

Not secret but good - The Secret Spot hot tub spas are set in beautiful quiet forest. Clean and well catered (you can order drinks to your tub) this is a good warm soak. There is a small stream running along the edge. Bird life was abundant. They are close to other sawmill road / waipa forest park venues from which noise does carry. These are far from being secret and bookings are essential. Our evening they were fully booked (we had booked two days in advance). Hints: They are not private secluded tubs and the nearby walk way can be busy.
