PETERBOROUGH’S PREMIER DESTINATION FOR HOT TUBS & SAUNAS
When Niki and Jason Pulchinski bought a long-standing, well-respected building in Peterborough back in 2020, they also decided to take over a community treasure that residents had trusted for more than 30 years, Rova’s furniture store. The Pulchinskis had been in business as distributors since 2007, but now they were the one-stop shop for all things patio related, including top brands for furniture, shades, pergolas, and umbrellas.
As of 2025, Ontario residents living along the Kawartha Lakes network can now trust them for premium hot tubs and authentic saunas. As a Northern Hot Tubs and Northern Leisure dealer operating out of the rebranded Shop the Lakes storefront, you can visit the 6,000-square-foot showroom that complements their backyard offerings like a swimmer in Little Lake. Doing business in such a popular community for hydrotherapy and wellness, Niki said the choice to bring in the all-Canadian Northern brand was an easy one. “We really liked the company, the quality of the products, and the marketing,” she said. Whether you are looking for a high-performance hot tub or a handcrafted sauna, customers will appreciate the well-built, all-inclusive, and sensibly priced options designed specifically for the Canadian climate.
WHY THEY CHOSE TO OFFER NORTHERN HOT TUBS & SAUNAS
Many of the 80,000 people in Peterborough immediately started to notice everything the Northern Leisure brand has to offer when they drove by the longstanding store. Before deciding on the brand, the Pulchinskis and GM Kelly Brocklehurst visited the Northern Leisure headquarters and were so impressed by the craftsmanship of both the tubs and the outdoor saunas that they knew they had to add them to their patio lineup.
“From the day they went up, we started selling,” Brocklehurst said. The differentiators, she noted, were the deep expertise and the rugged durability of the products. Because these products are backed by Canadians for Canadians, Northern Hot Tubs and Saunas are something the Peterborough store can offer as a year-round wellness solution. The staff did their research on other brands and agreed that the all-Canadian Northern line was the perfect addition to their premium patio furniture.
