Why sauna with us
About the Sauna
Wildwood Sauna was handcrafted in New Zealand with care for both people and place. Built in collaboration with 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.
