Secret Spot Hot Tubs is a stone’s throw from Rotorua, hidden in the heart of New Zealand’s mountain biking mecca, the Waipa Valley. Discover your own secret spot in the stunning Whakarewarewa Forest after your day’s adventures. You’ll find a place with great atmosphere and a warm welcome, where everything is beautifully handcrafted, from the western red cedar hot tubs to the craft beer and artisan coffee! Secret Spot has 12 hot tubs that are situated along the edge of the forest, overlooking the Puarenga Stream, and each hot tub is perfect for any group of friends or family up to 6 people.

You can also explore our unique café and bar set in a forest oasis with native plantings – we have smooth manuka-roasted coffee, Good George craft beer and cider, and Mills Reef wine. Have a bite to eat, play lawn games and enjoy our outdoor campfires, or unwind with a Shinny Dip foot hot tub, free with any drinks purchase.

You’ll find a relaxed atmosphere and friendly welcome when you discover our secret spot in the forest. We are all about connecting you with nature, friends, and family after your day’s adventures. Soak in your own cedar hot tub surrounded by native trees and ferns, while you receive tub-side bar service at the push of a button and complimentary cold plunge tubs. Our fresh (non-geothermal) water comes from a beautiful aquifer spring, which we heat to just the right temperature for you to enjoy a relaxing 45-minute soak. The tubs can fit up to six people and come with complimentary drinking water and lockers. You can bring your own swimwear, or we have swimwear, towels, and robes for hire. Check in 15 minutes before your booked soak time. Explore our unique café and bar in a backyard setting – we have smooth manuka-roasted coffee, Good George craft beer and cider, and Mills Reef wine.

    I'm giving it 4 stars, but it's still a great experience. It's just a shame it only lasts 45 minutes; we'd like to stay longer. Perfect for a little intimate moment with your loved one, for example.

    Staff is sooooo friendly !!! The spa baths are absolutely incredible. We went at 7:15, perfect time as you still caught some sunlight as well as a hint of the sunset.

  • Amazing experience
