This experience allows you to enjoy two seperate relaxing options at Secret Spot Rotorua. You’ll find a relaxed atmosphere and friendly welcome when you discover this secret spot in the forest. It’s all about connecting you with nature, friends, and family after your day’s adventures.

Hot Tub:

Bathe 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.

The fresh (non-geothermal) water comes from a beautiful aquifer spring, which is heated 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 there is swimwear, towels, and robes for hire. Check in 15 minutes before your booked soak time.

For a refreshing twist, you can take a dip in the complimentary cold plunge tubs during your soak.

Sauna:

Refresh with a private sauna experience in a stone-heated sauna with views over magically lit ponds and small waterfalls.

Crafted from aromatic Japanese hinoki wood, the saunas start from approximately 70°C and can comfortably fit up to four people. Inside, you’ll enjoy a traditional sauna experience with heated volcanic rocks and a bucket of water, allowing you to control the level of steam.

Chilled drinking water is provided, and you’ll have access to nearby 12°C cold plunge tubs and a cold outdoor shower. For the best results and to experience the full benefits of contrast therapy, we recommend alternating between the sauna and cold plunge throughout your session.

Explore the unique café and bar in a backyard setting – which has smooth manuka-roasted coffee, Good George craft beer and cider, and Mills Reef wine.

Have a bite to eat, play lawn games and enjoy the outdoor campfires, or unwind with a “Shinny Dip” in the cute foot hot tubs, free with any drinks purchase.
