Below is our visitor guide to Peninsula Hot Springs: how the facilities work, what a typical session looks like, what it costs, how to get there and which saunas are nearby if you want to compare options.

The traditional sauna at Peninsula Hot Springs is the stove-and-stones kind, which heats the air of the whole room. It feels hotter and more enveloping than infrared, so it suits people who enjoy a strong sweat and a proper cool-down between rounds. If you are new to it, sit lower down, where the air is cooler, and build up gradually.

There is a cold plunge at Peninsula Hot Springs for the cool-down part of the cycle. Plunge pools are usually kept somewhere around 8–15°C, which is cold enough to feel invigorating but more approachable than an ice bath. Lower yourself in slowly, breathe calmly, and get out when you are ready; even 30 seconds makes a difference.

Peninsula Hot Springs includes warm bathing pools as part of the experience. Warm mineral or magnesium pools are made for unhurried soaking, so plan to spend time in the water between sauna rounds. Pools are shared spaces: swimwear on, voices low, and shower before you get in.

Expect Peninsula Hot Springs to run on booked sessions, often 60 to 120 minutes, with towels and lockers either included or available to hire, so check when you book. Once inside, there is no set order: most people warm up in the sauna or steam, cool off in the plunge, then rest or soak in the warm water before repeating. Bathhouses attract everyone from first-timers to daily regulars, so follow the room's lead on noise, keep the benches dry with a towel, and give each space its time rather than rushing between them.

• Heat rises, so the top bench of a traditional sauna is noticeably hotter than the bottom one. Choose your level accordingly.

• Pack swimwear and thongs for the pools. Shared bathing areas almost always require swimwear.
• Drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and leave the heat straight away if you feel dizzy or unwell.
• Check what Peninsula Hot Springs provides, such as towels, robes, lockers and toiletries, so you know what to pack.
