Prior to guests arriving, hot tubs are cleaned and the water changed. This means the hot tub will be cold on arrival and will be ready for use the following evening.
Water quality and cleanliness are also monitored 3 times a day throughout the week. Whilst 45 Degrees North will endeavour to ensure the health and safety of guests using the hot tub, we cannot guarantee it.
Guests use hot tubs at their own risk and special care should be taken at all times, especially when getting into and out of the hot tub. Extra care should be taken during cold and icy conditions as the areas surrounding the hot tubs cannot be salted to remove ice.
45 Degrees North presumes that all guests, before using the hot tub, have read and understood the Hot Tub rules that are posted within the chalet.
We recommend that children under the age of 12 years of age do not use the hot tub. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times to avoid the risk of drowning and/or overheating.
