Description

Step into nature’s most beautiful reset. Each 75-minute Watershed session blends heat, cold, and calm in perfect rhythm — contrast therapy at its most refined. From the glow of handcrafted Finnish saunas to the crystal-clear plunge into Lake Whakatipu, every detail restores and revives. Between rounds, unwind in your private lounge — hang your jacket, stash your phone, and savor epic sunset views across the alpine water. Just steps from Queenstown’s center yet feeling a world apart, Watershed is where luxury meets lake life — refined, social, and seriously good fun. Meet new friends and share the ritual. A 75-minute immersion in warmth, water, and wonder — designed for relaxation, connection, and the pure joy of slowing down. Enjoy a premium floating sauna experience featuring an incredible contrast therapy experience afforded by the pristine, alpine, crystal-clear waters of Lake Whakatipu. Book a preferred session time and check in at the reception space on St Omer’s Wharf. Towels, lockers, and changing rooms are provided. After a short welcome and briefing from your sauna host, walk down the gangway to the floating sauna for your 60-minute session on Lake Whakatipu. Enjoy no more than three 15-minute intervals in the sauna, with breaks in between to cool off, relax on the deck, or plunge into the lake. There are also cool rooms adjacent to the saunas, where you can rest between rounds, store your shoes, phone, and locker keys. The floating pontoon features two plunge “pools” for each of the two saunas. The pools are designated cut-out areas built into the pontoons to look like swimming pools, giving easy access and immersion into the pristine, crystal waters of Lake Whakatipu.
