Sensory Spa Garden

Nature-bathing Experiences

Amongst the fragrant herbs and flowers, find an outdoor experience inspired by the simple, sharp contrast between hot and cold. Seven stages at different temperatures: slowly warm up in the heated sauna... then suddenly drench yourself in ice water. It’s about that single moment of living clarity, that instant when the body feels most alive.

Open 10am to 7pm (subject to change).

Please note our sensory spa garden is a communal experience. We welcome non-residents for our Sensory Spa Garden experience; however, this does not include access to our spa facilities. To enjoy full use of the spa facilities, please book our Elemental Spa Day.

How the garden works

preparation

Begin with a scrub

Begin with our uplifting dry salt scrub. Dry salt scrubs help to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote smoother, softer skin

warm up

Rinse off with a shower

Wash off and begin to gently warm the body through.

the hot

Heat up inside the cedar wood sauna

Now the temperature’s building. The Sensory Spa Garden sauna is also a place to wave-watch through the porthole, as the body opens up inside the 80°C heat.

the cold

Pull the cord for a cold bucket drench

“The contrast element.” But the temperature shock boosts circulation, releases endorphins and tightens the skin. Repeat those benefits in your head as you reach for the cord.

back to warmth

Dip into the outdoor hot tubs

Another contrast – but this one’s much, much easier. Here’s where you can sink into some idle time within the garden’s crisp air. Bathe in nature for a while.

cool down

Be left tingling with a wet scrub

Take a handful of seaweed scrub for one last refreshing of the skin.

A pregnancy-safe scrub is available if you are in your second or third trimester.

and finish

End at the fireside

Gather around the heat of the fire pit with bare feet dipped into a warm copper tub. Put a blanket over your shoulders and sip a hot, herbal tea.
