Testimonials

Absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is outstanding. So glad we saw this before we bought a spa pool. 
 - Kimberley H., Waitakere 

The quality of your tubs and heaters we have seen in Omarama is outstanding,
we can hardly wait to have our own in our special spot. 
 - David C., Christchurch

Well, to say we are impressed would be an understatement. Two nights in a row, 2 soaks and the temperature was superb! Lighting the fire has not been an issue and the next day I restarted the fire before I went on a bike ride and upon my return the temperature was spot on. Your burner is very well designed and even my husband is a convert to this system as he was initially very skeptical that the temperature would be easy to attain and maintain. Thanks for designing and building such a beautiful tub - it is really a work of art - great! 
 - Louise M., Thames

We are very impressed with the overall high quality of your system. The tub is very well built and finished. Amazingly powerful and efficient heater.
Beautiful. We love it. 
 - D&D W., Queenstown

We are very happy with the tub and do appreciate a quality job. Workmanship is first class. First tub was superb, no problems with starting the fire or running the heater, approx 1.5 hours to heat, still warm two days later. Kids had a great early morning tub on Sunday. Thanks again. 
 - Matt & Julie R., Kurow

Just had my first session. Blown away. Amazing! And no smoke, as you promised - well, a little bit at the start. Nice, nice, thanks so much. 
 - Sara N., Wellington

It is rare nowadays, to see this high standard of hands-on craftsmanship. We are so pleased to have found you.

I  like to thank you for your outstanding service. It has been a rather pleasant surprise to do business with you. Not only are we very much impressed with the quality of the tub, your quick responses, but your service levels are second to none.

Impressed with the tub. Amazing how efficiently the heater works and how easy it is to light and to maintain.
You really do a great job.

We were pleasantly surprised by the level of expertise and the high standard of workmanship we noticed
during our visit. We look very much forward to receiving our tub.

Thank you for a fine product.
-Bob A., Sefton

What a wonderful product. This is by far the best I have seen.
You have every reason to be proud of what you achieved. 
All the best for the future.

We have been having a fantastic time with the hot tub! It is incredible and we are so, so pleased that we made the investment. It is an absolute pleasure to use, and already I can't imagine not having it!
It's making me look forward to cold southerly evenings! Your craftsmanship is absolutely amazing, and it looks beautiful sitting there in the garden.
It's something that we are going to love for a very, very long time...
and we have already mapped out a place for it when we eventually build our own house!
Thanks so much again for the tub.  It's the best thing ever... and I'm going to have one right now!!!
An absolute life changer!
-Jen C. , Wanaka

The hot tub arrived in superb condition and was installed in time for a soak on the Friday of Labour Weekend as hoped! The quality is excellent - as expected - and the ease of use and experience has  exceeded expectations.
Just over an hour to heat the first time and still warm enough at lunchtime the next day to warm up after a dive.
Many thanks for your crafted tub,  it will bring us many enjoyable times.
-Brent W. , Auckland

I am so rapt with my new toy, Berend. So totally worth every cent spent. 
I have installed it on the deck overlooking the bay and it's incredible!
I enjoy coming out here every evening for a couple of hours.
It is very efficient and easy to manage.
Sitting here in bliss writing this, with thanks.

During considerable research a friend told us: "After seeing a Lignum Tub, I  went and bought a similar looking, cheaper one ex Auckland - which I now much regret".
That comment did it for us...
-Russel P. , Queenstown

I can't remember when I last wrote a testimonial for a product or service. I suppose that's because most products and services are rubbish these days.
But this morning I woke up energised and determined to share with you my thoughts and experiences after purchasing a hot tub from Berend some 6 months ago.
During the lockdown we decided -after viewing the many hot tub options available- to go with the slightly more expensive option of a handmade tub with an internal fire unit.
Well, how can I say this so you really get the message.. from the moment we made inquiry contact with Berend by phone and he installed the tub at our home: I think it is impossible to get a better product or service.
As you would expect from a German super craftsman, the quality is unreal...from the tub itself to the ingenious heating unit...and its great performance.. simply, you can't get better!!
I have waited six months to write this review so I could test the product and to comment on any after sales service issues I might have.
I contacted Berend on a few occasions, not that there was anything at all wrong. I just wanted some advice from him to achieve maximum output.. eg. types of firewood etc.
Each time he was incredibly helpful and so knowledgeable... the PHD of hot tubs!!! Simply, he knows it all when it comes to wood fired tubs.
If you live in or near Queenstown and want to try the tub then give Berend a call...he will give you my name,
I will crank the tub for you and you can enjoy a few hours soaking on me !!
It's simply a superb product wonderfully crafted...and Berend offers superb after sales service !!

So....If you have the funds ....appreciate absolute quality....and like lighting a fire....AND you don't buy this brilliant hot tub....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!
