Our Water at Secret Spot
Our hot tubs are filled with fresh forest spring water that comes from a beautiful aquifer spring high in the forest.
This non-geothermal water is then treated to NZ Pool Water Quality Standards with our Enviroswim treatment system, meaning it has minimal chemicals and is friendly on both our bathers and the environment.
Water in each individual hot tub is continuously filtered and refreshed during your soak. It’s ‘your’ water only – the water does not flow from tub to tub.
What goes well with a hot tub soak after a big day’s adventure?
A nice cold craft drink and a smash burger.
Our Base Camp street food kitchen is serving up delicious smash burgers, chicken satay roti, fries and more for you to enjoy beside a campfire or in a Shinny Dip foot hot tub.
Our Shinny Dips – a mini cedar hot tubs for your feet – overlook our lawn, native ferns, and Revolution Creek. They’re free with any drinks purchase and available on a first come, first serve basis.
