Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Secret spot hits the sweet spot 💕💕
Dec 2023 • Family
Really good. Sitting in a hot tub surrounded by trees for 45 mins, with the option of drinks. My ideal of a way to rewind.
So relaxing 😎 . Would highly recommend going there.

An interestingly different hot tub experience
Nov 2023 • Couples
This is a bit different to your usual spa/hot tub experience and is so relaxing and so much fun. We went at 8pm to enjoy the change from day light to night. The forest is subtly lit with coloured lights changing colour creating magical surroundings as you sit in the perfect temperature water in your secluded wooden hot tub amongst the ferns and trees. 45 minutes of total relaxation, with drinks brought to you at the press of a button-what could be better. The staff here were so friendly and helpful and the facilities were clean and well set out. It was raining when we visited but there was adequate cover and the experience was still excellent.

Not so private
Nov 2023 • Couples
It was a beautiful place but not so private as you could see your neighbours. Water wasn't to hot either

Hi DayTrip48814952354, Thank you for your review of Secret Spot, we're sorry that your experience was not what you expected. We try hard to market our hot tubs as individual but not private, as the tubs are situated 8m apart and you do catch a glimpse of the neighbouring hot tubs through the ferns. Our hot tubs sit at 39.9 degrees celsius. Thank you for giving Secret Spot a go, and we wish you all the best with your travels. Kind regards, Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

Amazing for couples. Nice romantic scenery and the bar service from the pool is a neat addition. Not your average spa pool experience.
Thanks heaps
