About

About The Host

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua

Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua

Hidden just outside Rotorua’s Whakarewarewa Forest, Secret Spot Hot Tubs feels like it was made for slowing down. Tucked beside the Puarenga Stream, you’ll find cedar tubs steaming under native ferns, the sound of the bush all around you.

It’s the kind of place where time blurs, you sink into 39-degree water, a craft beer or local cider in hand, and watch the light shift through the trees. Each tub sits in its own little garden, completely private yet connected to the forest.

After your soak, grab a drink from the Secret Spot bar, warm up by the fire, or wander through the forest trails next door.  It’s Rotorua at its most relaxed, nature, warmth, and a quiet bit of magic.
