Wellness at Native Dog Cabin

Slow down, recharge and reconnect with nature in your private wellness area. Soak beneath the stars, unwind in the cedar sauna or cool off in the outdoor shower. There’s nowhere else you need to be.

A Scandinavian-Inspired Ritual

Alternating between heat and cold, known as contrast therapy, is a centuries-old Scandinavian tradition. Moving from a hot sauna to a cold shower or plunge acts like a gentle workout for your blood vessels, helping to:

Improve circulation

Ease muscle soreness and aid recovery

Boost energy through natural endorphins

Promote deeper relaxation and better sleep

Enjoy one round or several, a perfect way to end a day exploring Bremer Bay.

The Cedar Sauna

Set among the coastal bushland, the Ritual Recovery Legion Sauna comfortably fits two to three people. Warm cedar and gentle heat relax body and mind year-round.

The Outdoor Shower

Located between the sauna and hot tub, the outdoor shower is ideal for cooling down between sauna sessions as part of your contrast therapy routine.

The Hot Tub

After a day out, sink into warm water beneath a canopy of stars. The hot tub is pre-set to a comfortable 38°C for your arrival.

Dining
