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.

Great place to go to unwind. Private and quiet (depending on when you go) and great view of nature. The staff are very friendly and informative. Definitely must try out the cold plunge before you go ????

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Secret Spot Hot Tubs! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were super friendly and made everything so easy and relaxing. The hot tubs are beautifully nestled in nature, offering a peaceful and private escape — perfect for unwinding. The water was crystal clear and the setting serene, with lush greenery all around.
I especially loved the option to enjoy a cold drink right from the tub — such a unique touch! Everything was clean, well-maintained, and clearly thoughtfully designed. You can tell the team really cares about creating a memorable experience for every guest.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting Rotorua — this is a must-do! Thanks again to Keith, Eric, and the whole Secret Spot team for a fantastic time!
