The property runs daily guided sauna infusions led by resident sauna masters; participants move between heat, cold plunge at 7°C, and steam before applying a house-made face mask. Infrared saunas, thermal massage showers, a mineral foot bath, and relaxation lounges overlook the Maruia River valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirteen newly opened Thermal Tranquility rooms and one suite each include a private deck with an outdoor thermal bath fed by natural geothermal water.
