The Croft at Arden Retreat

Arden Bathhouse is a private bathhouse experience in bushland just outside Richmond, in Tasmania's Coal River Valley. Designed as a self-guided ritual, it invites guests to move between the deep heat of a wood-fired sauna, the sharp clarity of a cold plunge, and the lingering warmth of an outdoor hot tub, all with exclusive use of the space. Created for couples, friends or small groups, Arden Bathhouse offers a slower, more grounded kind of escape shaped by fire, water, fresh air and stillness. The experience is private and unhurried, with time to settle in, move at your own pace and enjoy the setting. Just five minutes from Richmond and around 30 minutes from Hobart, Arden Bathhouse feels secluded and restorative while remaining easily accessible from southern Tasmania. It can be booked as a standalone experience or paired with an overnight stay at The Croft at Arden Retreat.
