Why sauna with us
About the Sauna
Wildwood Sauna was handcrafted in New Zealand with care for both people and place. Built by our friends at Sustainable Saunas, it’s made using locally sourced radiata pine, natural wool insulation, and mineral-based materials - all toxin-free and chosen for their quality and environmental integrity.
Every detail is designed to feel good and do good - from the clean, wood-fired heat to the natural finishes that keep the air pure. It’s a space where simplicity and sustainability meet - a reminder that wellbeing starts with what we build, breathe, and share.

Self-Care Time
Wellbeing starts here.
Wildwood Sauna offers an authentic, grounding experience - intentionally natural and close to the elements. There are no changing rooms on-site, so it’s best to arrive with your togs on and ready to step straight in.
Storage & Personal Items
We’ve got storage if you need it, but it’s best to leave anything you won’t use for your sauna session at your accommodation or safely in your car.
What to Bring
Bring two towels - one to sit on and one to dry off - plus water to stay hydrated, and footwear for moving around outside the sauna. Towels are available to hire when booking or on the day. Wildwood brings warmth in the wild - a lakeside sauna experience in Te Anau designed for connection and calm.
Facilities & Parking
Toilets are located a few hundred metres away at Ivon Wilson Park, around a 3–5 minute walk. There’s nearby parking for easy access to the sauna site.
