A private sauna and contrast therapy sanctuary on Pyes Pa Road in Tauranga, where clients choose the temperature of the sauna and the ice bath when they book. Hauora Sanctuary is at 608 Pyes Pa Road, Pyes Pā. The website describes a peaceful, private space set among nature, with sauna, contrast therapy and massage. Contrast therapy means a sauna and an ice bath in one session. Massage is given by a qualified massage therapist, and each session is tailored to the client. The business was founded by a local Tauranga Moana woman who restored the land the sanctuary sits on. Bookings are made through the online system, and confirmation emails include links to change them.
The website sets out a cancellation policy. Cancellations at least 24 hours ahead carry no charge. Cancellations or changes within 24 hours are charged 50 per cent of the appointment, and a no-show is charged the full fee. A late arrival may shorten the session, and the full fee still applies.
