New Zealand Rotorua Secret Hot Water Bath Experience

Itinerary Highlights

Immerse yourself in a private Hinoki hot tub, surrounded by ferns and overlooking a beautiful stream

Enjoy the natural spring water, filtered and heated to a perfect 39.9°C

Relax and unwind in the ideal temperature while overlooking the beautiful native garden at the edge of the majestic Whakarewarewa Forest

During your soak, the water in each private hot tub is continuously filtered and refreshed. This is your "exclusive" water — it does not flow from one tub to another.

After your soak, spend more time in the deck and boardwalk area, where you can enjoy light snacks, ice cream, or a post‑soak drink. The on‑site licensed café offers a selection of local craft beers and ciders, as well as a variety of New Zealand wines and soft drinks to cool off in the cold water tub

Hidden deep within the oasis of Rotorua, Secret Spot Hot Tubs is a dreamy cedar hot bath sanctuary, becoming a must‑visit for travellers and a healing haven beloved by locals. Far from the hustle and bustle, it perfectly blends the beauty of nature with the nourishment of hot springs, allowing every visitor to release fatigue in the warmth and find peace for the body, mind, and soul.

12 handcrafted cedar hot tubs are scattered along the banks of the Puarenga Stream, complementing the surrounding lush greenery. Each tub is filled with pure spring water from a hidden forest spring, rich in beneficial minerals, carefully regulated and heated to the golden temperature of 39.9 degrees Celsius — the perfect temperature for complete relaxation of body and mind. Soaking in it feels like being gently embraced by nature.

Here, not only do you get a luxurious and comfortable hot bath experience, but there are also thoughtful surprises waiting to be discovered. The Shinny Dip free foot bath hides a little joy; sit by it and let the warm spring water soothe your travel fatigue. The adjacent free cold bath brings a refreshing contrast — after a hot soak, take a plunge to instantly feel revitalised and all worries melt away.

The ultimate indulgence never lacks details. While soaking, you don't need to get up; local craft beers, rich wines, and sweet ciders can be delivered right to your tub. Paired with the lush green scenery and clear skies, a sip spreads warmth and aroma throughout your body, creating a triple feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

There is no noise here — only the babbling of the stream and the chirping of birds. Immersed in this setting, you can experience the miraculous healing properties of Rotorua's hot springs while enjoying the magnificent natural scenery. Come to Secret Spot Hot Tubs for a date with yourself, surrounded by nature in the warmth of the natural springs, capturing every serene and beautiful moment, making this hidden soaking experience the most unforgettable warm memory of your Rotorua trip.
