“had the most brilliant birthday”

This is all about getting back to basics in nature and being able to jump off the jetty into clean water then make new friends in the toasty barrel sauna. I came away invigorated with a big smile on my face.

“a very enjoyable experience”

Had a great sauna and lovely very cold dip in the lake. The lake is really nice and clear and perfect for pre and post sauna dip. The barrel sauna was at a nice temperature of 80 degrees C
