When winter sets in across Aotearoa, many of us reach for extra layers and stay indoors. But did you know this is actually the perfect time to enjoy your spa pool? Whether you’re in Rotorua, Taupō, or down south, there’s nothing quite like relaxing in warm water while the crisp Kiwi air surrounds you. And with a HotSpring Spa, you can soak in comfort — without worrying about your power bill or needing to pre-heat your spa.

The benefits of winter soaking

A spa pool in winter is more than a luxury — it’s a way to look after your wellbeing. Here’s why so many Kiwis love using their spa during the cooler months:

• Relieve aches and pains — The warm water is fantastic for easing tired muscles and sore joints. Whether you’ve been out tramping, skiing, or just battling the winter cold, a soak helps you feel better.

• Support healthy circulation — The heat encourages blood flow, warming you from within.

• Unwind and de-stress — Sitting under the stars in a steaming spa is a brilliant way to clear your mind and let go of daily stress.

• Sleep better — Many spa owners find that a quick dip before bed helps them drift off faster and enjoy a deeper sleep.

Why HotSpring Spas are made for New Zealand winters

When it comes to keeping cosy in winter, not all spas are created equal. Here’s why a HotSpring Spa from The Spa Shop is a smart investment for Kiwi homes:

• No pre-heating needed — HotSpring spas are designed to stay at temperature, so they’re ready when you are. You won’t need to waste time (or power) heating it up before every use.

• Energy efficient for lower running costs — With full insulation and smart design, HotSpring spas help you keep warm without blowing out your power bill. That’s good news for New Zealanders keeping an eye on household costs.

• Moto-Massage® DX jets for ultimate relaxation — After a day outdoors or on the tools, these unique jets move up and down your back, giving you a massage that’s hard to beat.

• Built for NZ conditions — HotSpring spas are fully insulated to perform in our diverse climate. Their high-density foam keeps heat in and the chill out.

• Simple winter maintenance — With optional features like the FreshWater® Salt System, looking after your spa during winter is easy — so you can spend more time soaking and less time testing water.
