Absolutely loved my visit to Waiho Hot Tubs! The atmosphere is pure tranquility, soaking in a beautifully crafted wooden tub surrounded by lush native ferns felt like being in the middle of a rainforest. Everything was spotless and well-prepared, from the towels to the aromatic salts and candles that made the experience extra relaxing.nnA special mention to Robin at the counter. He was incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful. Even though they were fully booked and I didn’t have a reservation, he went out of his way to fit me in for a session. His professionalism and kindness really stood out.nnThe entire setup, especially in the evening with the warm lighting and forest backdrop, was just magical. Perfect way to unwind after exploring Franz Josef. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!
Just to echo the other reviews here: we had an amazing soak in this beautiful tub. Perfect after a day of hiking, showers to freshen yourself before or after your soak—bring your own toiletries for this!! I was worried about the possibility of bugs being in the ferns, but they were not a problem at all. Professional and attentive staff. Clean, private, rejuvenating—if you are in the area don’t miss this experience. They have steady business, make a reservation online ahead of time!
Great spot, private spas that are refilled every session. You also have some control over the temperature can make it colder if you want. They provide towels and you’re able to take your own food and drink in which is great! It started raining halfway through our session and we just pulled the shade across and were well protected. Nice in rain or shine! Worth the money.
I really enjoyed my visit to Waiho Hot Tubs - minus breaking a tooth on the candy but that isn't on them :nnOnce I got the water temp down to a level that suited me it was a super relaxing soak and much needed after a long day of travel. The staff was very nice and the facilities were clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend for after a hike to the glaciers.nnOne suggestion might be some kind of removeable bench to go in the tub for folks on the shorter side - I was fine but definitely felt like some friends of mine may be a little uncomfortable without a boost.
Our first shared spa/hot tub experience, where we got ourselves a deal via a Soak Dine Stay package with a nearby motel.nn we bought ourselves some epsom salt to be added into our bath at the counter when checking in at an extra $10, and it came in a huge bowl! There’s also other add ons they offer, though it’s not very affordable.nn the space was decently private, while it’s a hot tub for the group, we could barely see another 2 groups from where we were, with a small changing/storage room that has doors if you mind your privacy.nn our motel staff also told us there’s a BYO policy, so instead of wine, we brought ourselves some juice from the nearby supermarket to be enjoyed during the bathnn the hot tub itself was pretty hot even though it doesn’t look like it is with just some wood keeping it warm. Definitely felt hot and was sweating past 30 minutes. There wasn’t much of a view since there were trees and fences built around the space, which was slightly unfortunate since there’s a great opportunity in that - though again understandable to protect our privacy.nnPost the experience, we both felt pretty refreshed and lighter, though it’s likely psychological since we just exited a large hot tub, but nonetheless it was a good feeling and one that we will return for if we have the chance to!
