  • 75 minute shared wood-fired barrel sauna session
  • Use of the ice bath, cold shower and river swim
  • Garden area with lounges
  • Complimentary herbal tea

Step into a place where time slows down, away from the busyness of everyday life at the scenic Kawarau River in Queenstown, to discover a relaxing shared wood fired sauna and ice bath experience. Enjoy a 75 minute session to cycle through resting in a thoughtfully designed wood fired barrel sauna set between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius. Then, take a refreshing swim in the cool water of the river with its soft riverbed. Or practice breath work in the ice baths that stay at temperatures of one to four degrees.

Wash off under the cold showers and unwind at the garden lounge with a cup of herbal tea by the warmth of the fire pit. Soak up the surrounding mountain views as you rejuvenate and heal with hot and cold therapy solo, with a friend, partner or a group.

Wood-Fired Sauna Bliss in Nature

Tamie 17 April 2026

I absolutely loved visiting Wellspace. It’s such a beautiful, quiet sauna experience set right in nature, which makes it feel really calming and grounding from the moment you arrive. The wood-fired sauna adds such a special touch, there’s something about the heat and the smell of the wood that makes it feel a lot more authentic and relaxing. Having the river right there is amazing as well, whether you want a refreshing dip or just sit and take it all in. And for those feeling brave, the ice bath is a great option too. It’s a really well thought out experience and I’d definitely go back.

Customer Experience

Thanks for sharing such a lovely experience! We’re delighted Wellspace felt so calming and immersive from the wood‑fired sauna to the river and ice bath. It’s great to hear it left such a lasting impression and hope you will visit again soon.
