CRAFT

Built the way things used to be.

Our outdoor saunas are log-style cabins, the first of their kind in New Zealand. Every wall is solid timber, inside and out, joined with traditional dovetailing and finished with a roof designed for our landscape. Nothing hidden. Nothing unnecessary.

Materials

Only the finest timber.

Built from New Zealand-grown Redwood. Valued for its strength and stability, Redwood resists warping, settles evenly, and carries a natural warmth that deepens with age. It is the timber of longevity, chosen because it endures, indoors and out. Sustainably sourced, carefully selected, and finished to last for generations.

WELLNESS

Heat, timber, silence.

A sauna is more than warmth. It’s the rhythm of heat and release, repeated until the body feels new again.

  • 15 minutes:    Surrounded by timber and steam. Then...
  • 5 minutes:    In the cold.  The shock of water on skin.

Repeat, and repeat again, until an hour has passed almost unnoticed.

For some, it’s recovery, muscles eased, the mind cleared. For others, it’s ritual, a place to reflect alone or reconnect with friends. However it’s used, the result is the same: you leave lighter, restored, and unhurried.

Each sauna is crafted to order and tailored to its setting.

Ten builds a year. No more.

To give each sauna the attention it deserves, we build in very limited numbers.
