Hot tubs

We always do our best to have hot tubs at full temperature for guest arrival. However, if a previous guest checks out on the same day, the hot tub will be fully drained, deep cleaned, refilled and have its filters changed.
This process can mean the hot tub takes time to return to full temperature. On changeover days, hot tubs are usually at their optimum temperature by approximately 8pm to 9pm on your first evening.
Do you provide robes and slippers?
We provide one robe per guest in all hot tub apartments. Slippers are not provided, so we recommend bringing flip-flops or suitable footwear.
