The Ginseng Bathhouse is a century old tradition located in the heart of Sydney, offering the opportunity to escape the stress of city living, cleanse the body of toxins, relax the mind, and emerge feeling wonderfully refreshed and rejuvenated.
The only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere and authentic in its style and services, the Bathhouse offers a unique hydrotherapy experience of wet and dry saunas, ginseng herbal spa and hot and cold baths. The beneficial powers of water treatments have been valued since ancient times when water was thought to be the essence of life.
Men’s and ladies sauna areas are separated but communal areas such as the guest lounge and gymnasium are available. It is also possible for friends or couples to enjoy specific treatments together in one of the 9 private treatment rooms.
The Bathhouse is suitable for all ages from 5 years and all services and treatments are available for both males and females. Once inside, you may stay all day, allowing you to experience your chosen treatments at your own pace 7 days a week. A retail selection of skin care and natural health products, light snacks and beverages are all available for purchase.
