Compare Spa Sizes
Choosing the right spa size is one of the most important decisions before you buy. The best size depends on your backyard space, how many people will use the spa and whether you want a compact couples setup, a flexible family spa or a larger multi-use wellness system.
2 Person Spas
2 person spas are best for couples, smaller patios and buyers who want a compact footprint with simpler placement. They suit homes where everyday relaxation matters more than social seating capacity.
5 Person Spas
5 person spas are often the sweet spot for Australian households. They provide more flexibility for families and entertaining while still fitting many standard backyard spaces.
Spa Pools and Portable Spas
Our wider spa pool collection includes different sizes and seating layouts, making it easier to compare compact, mid-size and family-focused options in one place.
Swim Spas
Swim spas are ideal for buyers who want exercise, recovery and hydrotherapy in a larger all-in-one system. They generally suit bigger sites and households wanting more than a traditional soaking spa.
How to Choose the Right Size
- Measure the final placement area and delivery access path.
- Think about how many people will realistically use the spa at one time.
- Compare seating layout, not just the claimed capacity.
- Balance comfort, running cost and backyard footprint together.
