This was good as we had a tiring day so to relax at the end was perfect. Shower rooms were not too clean but otherwise a good experience.

Hi Meneka,
Thank you so much for your review of Secret Spot, it's great to hear you had a relaxing time beside the forest with us. We're sorry the shower rooms were not up to scratch, our staff regularly check and clean the changing rooms, and we'll improve upon this.
Have a lovely day and we hope to see you again soon,
Sarah and the Secret Spot team.

All the hot tubs had different names we were in the “hippy dippy”. hot tubs are a bit close to each other but the foliage provides some privacy. We did see a possum while we were bathing and that was cool. the selection of foods and drinks are refreshing and priced reasonably. The establishment its self is really nice and the staff are super chill and welcoming. great place for photos.
