VLOG - Hot tub install in the wild 🌳
Watch along as Dan and Chris install a small wood-fired tub (1.5m oval) in regional Victoria for Into The Wild Escapes.
Meet our passion project
From our workshop on Victoria’s Surf Coast, each tub is created to belong in the wild — bringing the calm and luxury of a hot spring to wherever you are.
The idea began a decade ago when childhood friends Chris & Dan submerged into a natural hot spring and wondered, “why couldn’t this exist anywhere?”
What followed was a world-first design: tubs & plunge pools that need no concrete, no expensive technicians, no complex installation. Just honest materials, Australian hardwood, and parts built to last for decades outdoors.
Thousands of happy customers later, our purpose remains the same: to make luxurious bathing in the wild simple, beautiful, and accessible anywhere.
Chris and Dan - Founders
We purchased the middle sized ember hot tub for our off grid site at the top of mountain.
Their customer service is great, speedy and very helpful.
Setting up is easy, need 2 hours to warm up with one barrel of firewood. When it’s covered, the water stays warm through the night so that you can have the bath in the morning too!
Cheers Ember team
The 8 seater hot tub has become a main attraction and one of the most valued part of the retreats I run on Kangaroo Island. Nestled amongst the pine trees it is a luxurious space for connection and relaxation amongst a group of strangers! Easy to assemble, great to transport and efficient in its wood consumption, the hot tub adds rustic charm to any gathering and creates unique memories for anyone that jumps in!
Without a doubt the best outdoor experience I’ve ever had. The tub was easy to install and a family group enjoyed a super hot soak in the middle of winter in remote rural Victoria. We could enjoy the stars and bush setting like I’ve never done but often dreamed about. It’s mobile luxury straight to your happy place. Plus the water gets hotter as you keep stoking the fire unlike most spas that feel cold and uncomfortable after a while. The whole deal with ember wildly exceeded expectations.
I ordered an ember tub for my husbands 40th birthday present. We use it pretty much every weekend. You can heat it up on Friday and just keep topping it up every now and then to stay hot for the rest of the weekend. It’s incredibly simple to use and put together. I was worried about it not being sturdy enough (as they are designed to be able to move around) and we wanted ours as a permanent fixture, but it’s incredibly solid and sturdy. On our initial setup we had some problems with some of the parts and Chris and Daniel were incredible and took care of everything straight away. We’re so happy to purchase from a company who cares that their customers are happy. It looks amazing in our country homestead so we really couldn’t be more happy. Highly recommend!
Absolutely blissful soaking in our ember hot tub- soothing away all our aches and pains enjoying our stunning view of the Cathedral Ranges whilst sipping or gulping on a beverage 🥂🍹
Highly recommend ember - the entire process from purchase to set up was painless and professional
We just love our Ember Hot Tub 🔥

My hubby purchased the conversationalist for my birthday this year as an extra special surprise. I’d been wanting a wood fired tub for literally years and it has not disappointed. We virtually live in it and it’s been such a wonderful way to reconnect. So easy to set up and use. I would never have thought I’d spend most of my winter nights outside in Creswick! We ran in to a few hick ups but the boys couldn’t get here quick enough to fix it up. All round amazing product and even better service. Don’t hesitate. Get yourself one now!
I purchased an Ember Hot Tub in December to add to my glamping and camping retreat. The Hot Tub has been booked up ever since the purchase! My guests love soaking in the Hot Tub under the starry sky surrounded by trees and animals. The Hot Tub is really high quality and so easy to assemble. Throughout the purchasing process Chris was really helpful and so easy to deal with. I highly recommend getting one.
Purchased a wood-fired hot tub from Ember for our coastal property. It has been a huge hit with our family and our guests. We use the area for guests as a bit of extra income, and the tub has had universal appeal.
Everyone simply loves it. There's something magical about the combination of wood smoke, the crackling fire, toasty water and enjoying the view over the Southern Ocean.
Took one or two goes to learn exactly how to regulate the temperature. But now we've got it to a precise art!
Highly recommend these tubs for anyone looking to add some wholesome enjoyment to their property.

I purchased a second-hand/ex-rental tub from Dan who was exceptional the whole way through. Very patiently walked me through the different options, and then even hand delivered the tub himself in the middle of a storm. He stayed to help me set it up in the rain and was a total sport when we had to winch his van up the wet hill after the downpour. Customer service can't be beaten, and the tub is excellent. Heats well and evenly, does take some practice to not overdo it and inadvertently start cooking your friends like lobsters. 5/5 stars, highly recommend!
