Here at Hilltop Sauna we want you to have the best experience possible, so here are a few bits of info that will help you out before you arrive for your unwinding session or class.
Arrival Time- Its recommended that you arrive 20 minutes before the start of your session to get briefed about the site and change if needed.
Toilet- There is a toilet on site however its a 2 minute walk up the hill and you will need to get the key from the reception area. We will be installing one a little closer in September.
What to wear- Swim wear, flip flops or easily removed sandals with no metal and a robe or dry robe depending on the weather. (Robe, towel and sandal hire is available but availability may be limited pre booking is recommended)
Changing and showers- We do have changing tents and a cold shower facility (Hot shower coming for winter). But its recommended you turn up ready for action and change after a rinse in the shower.
Sauna Tents- We have sourced the best sauna tents available that provide a true sensation of a real wilderness sauna. Please be careful not to lean or touch the walls as these may be hot! Our Pine saunas are due to arrive in September ready for winter.
Cool Dip Pond- The water quality is checked every 48 hours to ensure the health and safety of patrons and is checked for harmful bacteria. As the pool is naturally filtered through a bog there may be occasions when we have to rest the pond. Alternative plunge pools will be provided on the deck area on these occasions and you will be informed before your arrival. However we aim to have the pond open during all open hours.
Terrain- We use bark to create woodland paths over the hillside, and this can be soft underfoot so please be careful when moving around the site. If you have mobility issues please contact us before booking as we can assess your needs before arrival.
Disabled Access- At present we are working hard to provide disabled access via the event deck and to the Pine Saunas. This is expected to be in place by late 2025.
