Riverside Sauna & Cold Plunge Experience

Experience the natural power of heat and cold at the Riverside Sauna & Cold Plunge by Wellspace in Queenstown — a riverside sanctuary where contrast therapy helps you relax, unwind and reset in nature.

Start a round with 15 minutes inside the traditional wood-fired barrel sauna, heated to 80–100°C, before plunging into icy cold water in the river, an ice bath, or a cold shower. Between rounds, rest in the heated marquee lounge, sip herbal tea, or gather by the fire to connect with others. Whether you join a shared community session or book a private experience for your group, each visit is designed to restore balance and improve wellbeing through contrast hydrotherapy.

Choose a 75-minute shared session for a social, wellness-focused outing, or a 75-minute to 2.5-hour private sauna experience for your team or friends. Private bookings include guided breathwork, aromatherapy, and light refreshments. Every session at Wellspace supports both physical and mental health, helping to boost circulation, relieve tension, and build resilience (please contact us to book private).

Set in stunning natural surroundings and led by an authentic, welcoming team, the Riverside Sauna & Cold Plunge is more than a wellness activity — it’s a chance to reconnect with yourself, others and the environment.
