Introduction: Dave’s Journey to Portable Spa Ownership
Have you ever considered upgrading your backyard with a spa pool but hesitated because of the difficulties associated with traditional spa setups? Dave, the owner of Portable Spas New Zealand, was in exactly the same position. His experience with traditional spa pools was far from relaxing—expensive travel fees for technicians, logistical nightmares when moving, and complicated installations were just the tip of the iceberg. Fortunately, Dave discovered a smarter option: portable spas.
In this blog post, Dave shares why he made the switch and how portable spas transformed his lifestyle, making spa ownership practical, affordable, and enjoyable for Kiwi families like yours.
The Headaches of Traditional Spa Pools
Owning a traditional spa pool often comes with complications that can dampen the joy of relaxation:
- Costly Repairs: If something breaks, you’re often left paying high fees for technicians to travel, inspect, and fix the issue.
- Installation Challenges: Traditional spas require cranes or a team of strong individuals to manoeuvre them into position, especially in tight spaces or townhouses.
- Logistical Limitations: Moving house? Prepare for a serious effort to relocate your spa, involving dismantling fences and hiring heavy machinery.
Dave faced all these challenges firsthand. At the time, he lived in a townhouse in Auckland where installing a bulky spa pool would have required craning it over his roof or dismantling sections of his fence—neither of which was appealing or practical.
Why Dave Chose Portable Spas
When Dave discovered portable spas, everything changed. Here’s why these modern spa pools became his clear choice:
1. Ease of Installation
With traditional spas, installation can feel like a construction project. Portable spas, on the other hand, are incredibly user-friendly. Dave’s current spa is positioned in a tricky spot at the back of his townhouse, but he didn’t need cranes or heavy lifting teams to install it. Instead, he carried it through his house single-handedly. Setup took just a few minutes—no dismantling fences or expensive contractors required.
2. Flexibility to Move
Life is unpredictable. Whether you’re relocating or just want to change the position of your spa, portable spas make the process simple. Dave loves the ability to easily drain his spa, pack it up, and move it to a new location—indoors or outdoors. This flexibility is a game-changer for homeowners, renters, and families seeking convenience over hassle.
3. Affordable Repairs
Portable spas are designed for DIY maintenance, eliminating the need for technicians to visit for minor issues. Control units can be removed and sent to Portable Spas New Zealand for servicing without ever needing an expert to visit your home. Dave appreciates how this saves him both time and money.
4. Space-Saving Design
Tight spaces, like townhouses or smaller decks, are no problem for portable spas. Models like the Bergen Spa and Tekapo Spa offer compact options that fit perfectly in limited areas while still delivering premium relaxation.
5. Built for New Zealand Conditions
Dave particularly values how portable spas handle New Zealand’s unique climate. The versatility to enjoy warm waters during winter or a cool plunge on hot summer days makes them ideal for year-round use.

Dave isn't the only one benefiting from the convenience of portable spas—Kiwi families across the country are discovering the advantages. Whether you’re setting up on a patio, garden, or balcony, these spas fit seamlessly into any outdoor space. Their lightweight design means you can even relocate them to chase the sun or shelter from wind.
