How to Choose the Right Portable Spa

Size & Capacity

Portable spas come in a range of sizes to suit every household. A 2-person spa is ideal for couples or small spaces — compact enough for an apartment balcony. 4-person models are our most popular, striking the right balance between space and value. If you regularly entertain or have a larger whānau, consider a 6-person or 8-person spa pool for maximum comfort.

Jet Types: Air Jets vs Massage Jets

All MSpa portable spas feature air jet systems that create thousands of bubbles for full-body relaxation. Our premium models add hydro massage jets — directional nozzles that target muscles with focused water pressure. If massage therapy matters to you, look for models with dedicated massage jets.

Why Choose a Portable Spa Over a Traditional Spa Pool?

Traditional spa pools in NZ typically cost $8,000–$20,000+ installed, require electrician wiring, concrete pads, and council consents. A portable spa delivers the same hot water relaxation experience at a fraction of the cost — with no installation, no tradies, and no permanent commitment.

Inflatable spas and blow-up spas plug into a standard power outlet, heat up in hours, and can be packed away when not in use. They're perfect for renters, bach owners, or anyone who wants spa pool enjoyment without the long-term investment.

Running costs are also significantly lower than traditional hot tubs. Most portable spas cost $10–$20 per week to run depending on usage and insulation. Read our full guide to spa running costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Portable spas in New Zealand range from $750 for a compact 2-person inflatable spa to around $3,400 for a premium 6–8 person model with hydro massage jets. All our spa pools include free NZ-wide shipping. We also offer Afterpay, so you can split the cost into fortnightly payments.

Absolutely. Traditional spa pools in NZ start at $8,000+ and require professional installation, electrical work, and often council consent. A portable spa delivers a similar relaxation experience for a fraction of the price — with no installation needed. They're ideal for renters, bach owners, or anyone who wants flexibility without the long-term commitment.

Most portable spas cost between $10 and $20 per week to run, depending on the model, how often you use it, and whether you keep the lid on between sessions. Using the insulated cover and keeping the temperature steady is the best way to minimise power costs. Read our detailed running cost guide.

All MSpa models come with air jet systems for full-body bubble massage. Our premium range also includes dedicated hydro massage jets that provide targeted, directional water pressure for a deeper therapeutic experience. See which models have massage jets.

With proper care, an MSpa inflatable hot tub typically lasts 3–5 years or more. MSpa uses reinforced PVC and 6-layer laminated construction for durability. All our spas come with a 12-month warranty, and we stock replacement parts so your spa can keep running well beyond the warranty period.

Under New Zealand's Building Act, any pool or spa with a water depth greater than 400mm generally requires a compliant barrier (fence). However, enforcement varies by council, and some portable spa owners use locking lids as part of their compliance approach. We recommend checking with your local council for the specific rules in your area.

Yes — portable spas are designed for year-round use in New Zealand's climate. MSpa models feature built-in anti-icing protection that prevents the pump from freezing in cold temperatures. The insulated covers and thermal ground mats help retain heat efficiently, even in the middle of winter. Many of our customers say winter is their favourite time to soak.

You'll need a sanitiser (chlorine or bromine), pH adjusters, and a test kit to keep your water balanced and safe. We recommend our water care starter kit which includes everything you need. For a complete guide, see our water care instructions.

Pool Safety Compliance

The Requirement

The legislation requires any body of water with less than 76cm from the side to the ground to be fenced by a 1.2M fence.

For our portable spa pools with their child proof locks and covers, compliance can be achieved by placing the pool on a platform that elevates it to meet the 76cm requirement.

Elevation Required by Model

  • Mono & Oslo (65cm sides) – 11cm elevation
  • Tekapo (68cm sides) – 8cm elevation
  • Bergen (70cm sides) – 6cm elevation

Practical Solutions

Kiwis use the heat preservation mat, ground sheets, polystyrene or foam rubber - these elevate the pool and also provide additional insulation and power savings.

The polystyrene and foam can be trimmed using a craft knife to the shape and size of the portable spa pool.

Others have fashioned plywood and small platforms to achieve the required 76cm pool side height.
