Other things to note As mentioned in the guest access section, the sauna in the photos is a part of the guest communal area, Flame Space. It is not automatically included in the accommodation booking price. The sauna operates on a booking system. Hot-cold therapy sessions, including the sauna and the cold bucket shower, are $50 per couple, per hour. Hairdryers are not provided in the accommodation. As an off-grid, sustainability-focused retreat, we choose not to supply high-draw appliances like hairdryers. While our sophisticated solar power system can handle occasional use, providing hairdryers isn’t aligned with the low-impact experience we aim to offer or our Eco Star Accreditation standards. If you’d like to use a hairdryer during your stay, please feel welcome to bring your own. Registration Details PDBLDNOTFY2020-14922
