Aroha Portable Spa is a hot tub hire firm that brings a heated portable spa to your home and sets it up on any flat surface about two metres by two. Hires run for two, three or four nights, and the team delivers, inflates and heats the spa. Each spa has an inflatable lid that keeps the water clean and warm, and a multicolour light for evenings. The water is held at 38°C, and the spa takes about 10 to 12 hours to heat. In te reo Māori, aroha means love and compassion, and the company says that is what it puts into each hire.
The website shares customer comments praising the spa as a way to switch off after work and as a place to stargaze with a partner. Hires are delivered across much of Auckland, including Ponsonby, Newmarket, Remuera, Takapuna, Albany and Papakura, as well as the Hibiscus Coast. Cancellations made 72 hours or more ahead are free. Those made less than 72 hours ahead are charged half the invoice, and those under 24 hours are charged in full. The company also offers a portable baptism pool service for churches.
