Our facilities

The circuit

One continuous circuit of heat, water and cold, made to be moved through slowly.

Every session at Escape Bathhouse includes full access to the whole space, a 38°C magnesium mineral pool, a traditional sauna, an aromatic steam room and bracing ice baths, all under one heritage roof in the heart of Chatswood.

Below is each space, what it does for your body, and the ideal way to move between them. There's no set route and never more than 30 guests at once, so you can always take it at your own pace.

More than heat and cold

How to use the space

The ideal circuit

There’s no wrong way to enjoy the bathhouse, but if you’d like a guide, this is the flow we’d recommend. Move through it at your own pace and repeat as often as you like.

  1. 01

    Arrive & settle in

    Change into your bathhouse attire, leave the day at the door, and let yourself slow down.

  2. 02

    Start with heat

    Spend 10–15 minutes in the sauna or steam room to relax your muscles, lift your mood and warm the body through.

  3. 03

    Take a cold plunge

    Step into the ice bath for 1–3 minutes. The shock reduces soreness, sharpens focus and brings you into the present.

  4. 04

    Soak it out

    Mellow out in the 38° mineral pool for 20–30 minutes and let your body find its balance.

  5. 05

    Refuel & socialise

    Grab a drink or a bite from the Placebo Bar, hydrate, and enjoy the calm, social atmosphere.

  6. 06

    Repeat, then rest

    Move through the heat and cold again at your own pace, then settle into our relaxation spaces before you go.
