Bought and paid for a spa upfront waited 3 months and couldn’t get the spa I paid for gave me another and have had nothing but trouble and they would not help. Show details
Worst rip off ever! – Paid in full on June 29th 2024 and here we are in February 2025 still without our swim spa and still out of pocket $15K. The Directors have removed all $$ from bank accounts so no one can get refunds. They aren't answering emails and or phones. Heard that the directors have skipped the country. Hundreds of people who have all paid are without their money or their spas/ pools. Save yourself the heartache and deal with a reputable company. Show details
Dissapionted and very angry – Brought a spa pool was supposed to get it delivered 17th Dec now im been told that there's a problem with the warehouse and they are in negotiations with them. No one has had the decency to call me, all I want to know is when am I going to get my spa that I have paid for??? Or give me my money back. Show details

Appalling product, terrible service – Badly damaged product delivered in July 23. Spas Direct unhelpful and ignored emails and communications for almost 6 months. They refused to replace our spa and by the time we received all the parts to fix it, there were cracks in the acrylic as well which Spas Direct are now claiming is our fault. We should never have accepted delivery of the… Read more
product and instead cancelled payment via a credit card dispute. Now we are stuck with a spa that we have not been able to use since paying $8000 for it. We intend to go to VCAT.

Atlantic spa exceeded my expectations – Brought a Atlantic spa... From seeing it the showroom to delivery and install i was kept informed with text or phone calls super easy set up... And 36 hours later we were using it took that long to heat up the functions are easy to use and set up here we are 9 weeks later and using it 3 to 4 night a week... Quality is great Show details
Oasis in our backyard – We brought our Pacific Deluxe spa in 2018 and it is our little oasis in our garden. We use it all year round and my husband maintains it every week. Buying it was stress free and would happily recommend the team at Spa direct Show details
MINI PLUNGE POOL SPA! – We ordered and brought our mini plunge pool spa from spas direct approx June 2022, and it was ready late dec 2022 and we had it delivered and lifted into place via a hire crane truck just in time for Xmas, as soon as it was in its final resting place and on the engineered concrete slab we had installed prior, the garden hose was in and it was… Read more
filling up! After doing all the easy to understand set up instructions, we switched it on and she fired right up and started to heat. I’m pretty sure that we have only missed a couple of days from late dec to end of feb and every other day/night the family has been in it! Being a tradie the spa jets have worked wonders for my back and my youngest kid can now swim and dive under and hold his breath! Something he could never do before hand. Money well spent I say! And the best thing about our new mini plunge pool spa is that once the kids are in bed, myself and the wife put on the multi coloured led lights, crack a can and let all the days stresses just melt away.
If anyone is thinking of getting one for themselves or there family’s, I’m telling you now, it’s the best addition we have added at our family home. Many good times to come and we can use it all year round too using the well made insulated covers. We test our pool weekly and it’s very easy to maintain the chemical levels and clean the filter system. I Highly recommend Spas direct Australia from start to the finish!
This is perfect for the whole family to enjoy! – When Melbourne weather allows us to enjoy our spa we do day & night. Easier then we expect to maintain with the right products. Show details · 1

Cascade Grander Swim Spa – The Spa's direct team, Jack, have been really good to deal with. We had unforeseen circumstances arise just after purchase and they we're able to work with us in delaying delivery. Communication was great. The spa was arrived in great condition. All in all we would buy from here again. Show details
Fantastic product and great price – We bought our spa from spas direct at the grand opening in Dandenong vic. Have had it in use for around 12months now and are very happy. It does everything we expected and has not missed a beat. Aftersales service was great in helping get information of how I should care for spa and all chemicals dosage questions answered immediately. Have also… Read more
bought additional items for upkeep including filters and chemicals delivered to my door which is very handy. I recommend them to family and friends without hesitation
We love our swim spa! – The Dandenong team looked after us every step of the way. So glad we invested in this swim spa for all seasons! We have enjoyed many a night singing and swimming :) Show details

Damaged spa on delivery – Brought a swim spa from spa direct Dandenong show room . Upon delivery the spa was well wrapped and packed everything seemed as it should . The truck driver unwrapped it for us , too find two broken panels . Where the panels are broken could not have happen via the delivery driver . Upon getting it off and inspecting behind the broken panels. The… Read more
frame that the panels secured too are broken in the whole one half of the spa , 6 months later we still have this issue of a damaged spa . The customer service is terrible ots like getting blood out of a stone , spas dorect has tried putting the blame onto a delivery driver whom they recommended . We have exhausted every avenue even calling consumers affairs , my last option is to talk with a lawyer .
USELESS! – Thanks for still doing nothing to get my spa fixed!! 2 weeks and you havent done a thing. You guys are amazing. Glad consumer affairs had no luck changing the way you operate. Had a dead heater since Boxing Day, and have been trying to get it fixed ever since. They dodge calls and email, and if you ever speak to someone the promise something to… Read more
happen quickly, and then nothing! Consumer Affairs can’t even get hold of them or get responses.
There is no other way to describe spas direct, other than useless!
Cheers! Hope bad things come to your company.

2 years down and still loving our Byron Bay spa! – We’ve had our Byron Bay Platinum for 2 years and we are still so happy with it. We use it often and the maintenance is very easy. Thanks Spas Direct for a price friendly high quality product. Show details
A wonderful experience – From our initial experience entering the store we were greeted by the receptionist Christine whom was warm and bubbly. Without being pushy she asked if we would like some assistance and got the general manager John for us. John asked us some questions to try and establish what was the most appropriate spa for our purpose and then began to explain… Read more · 1
pros and cons to all the different ones we looked at. At no time was John pushy nor did he try to put other brands or stores down to make their products more appealing. It was truly refreshing to deal with him. We did settle on a spa and a few days later got it home. Once finally getting things sorted and set up we had an issue with a couple of things. Making a call to the number we had our problems sorted out within minutes by Rami whom was so easy to talk with and sorted our issue immediately. I have dealt with Effie and Adriano with other small and things and everything has been dealt with honestly within minutes and have all been a great pleasure to deal with. I understand everyone has different experiences with places and It’s easy to give bad reviews or to be dissatisfied when things don’t meet expectations or standards and I can be one of those people at times, but I can truly say that my partner and I were more than impressed with our service from the entire team at Spas Direct and would recommend them and look forward to enjoying our new spa.
Taking Them To Court – We went to the factory outlet and spent approx 30 mins, the only time we were approached by the sales person ([Name Removed]) was near closing time, we asked if they did interest free, he replied he would send us a link, and the spa that we showed interest in was not in stock and would be for months, that was all the information given. We have… Read more
never received an invoice, we have never signed a contract with Spas Direct, nor did we know that if we filled out Zip we were actually buying the Spa. We were mislead into purchasing the spa by Spas direct sending a link everyday for a month from Zip, we were under the impression that we were seeing if we were able to get finance. Then weeks later we get a account from ZIP to say we have purchased a Spa. We phoned Spas Direct, they never returned phone calls, they did not advise that they were going ahead with the sale. We cancelled the order, they then contacted us immediately to advise that we could not cancel the order and we would not get a refund, if we did cancel the order, they would keep the whole amount paid of $8000. They then found a spa from a cancelled order and told us we had to have it, this made me even more apprehensive about this company, they would not return my money for a Spa I did not have or was in stock, yet they were telling me I had to take a spa from a cancelled order!!!! I tried everything, Zip tried to get our money back. We do not have the Spa nor has Spas Direct contacted us to sort out this situation. They are keeping $8000 of our money for nothing, the spa has not been delivered, it is not custom made, it is not a special order, it is an off the shelf product that can be easily sold. I am now going down the road with VCAT to get our money back. If anyone else wants to add to our claim please contact me asap. This has been going on since March 2021. I have now read hundreds of negative reviews about this company, and have seen them on TODAY TONIGHT in South Australia. Somethings needs to be done about this company and how they rip off people of their hard earned money. Thanks
Very Happy With Spa – We have just purchased a spa from spas direct and so far are very happy with it. We were nervous because of the negative comments we had read but have to say we have had a positive experience. Effie from the Melbourne store has been brilliant even answering my emails on the weekend. Haven't taken a photo yet as it is still filling up Show details
Poor quality spa – We purchased spa from spa direct 2plus years ago, since that day we have replaced heater twice, control panel once and now we need control box all in total over $2000. Their Balboa parts are expensive and hard to get, service from Spa Direct is well under acceptable level. On top of all this never reply to my emails or concerns. Looks like I will end up with a very expensive fish pond...

I can swim all year round – Fantasic service & fast delivery. We use it atleast 5 days a week, coming home after a long day at work to just stop and relax is amazing. I can use it even when the weather isn't great and can get excerise aswell in our extreme swim spa. So happy with our purchase, so glad i didn't spend money on a pool that i could only use when weather permits, especially here in Melbourne. Happy customer. Show details

Love, love, love our Spa – We use our spa all year round but mostly in summer. It is a real drawcard when it comes to entertaining. It's quite easy to maintain cleanliness, however a little tricky to keep the bodyfat particles away. Spas direct were very helpful and offer value for money. I would highly recommend!! Show details
