If you're feeling like it's about time you carved out more time in your schedule to wind down and reconnect with yourself, look no further than the new About Time bathhouse on the Surf Coast, which is offering an immersive escape to do just that.
Brought to life by the wellness experts behind Melbourne skincare studio Little Company and massage service Still Beauty, this modern bathhouse nestled in Torquay is the first of its kind on the Surf Coast and in the Greater Geelong region.
Spanning over 1,000 square metres, About Time features a slate of bathing and wellness experiences. Drawing on ancient bathing traditions worldwide, About Time combines water, heat and ice therapies with modern skincare and bodywork practices.
There are indoor and outdoor magnesium pools for soaking, as well as cold plunge pools, a fire-fuelled Finnish rock sauna, steam room and infrared saunas. The treatment menu also offers individually tailored facials and massages, for a holistic wellness experience. For those seeking a more private retreat, the secluded outdoor bathing areas are surrounded by native flora, to create a natural sanctuary.
The space also has eight private treatment rooms, as well as capacity to host events. It's certainly about time that the Surf Coast region gained a bathhouse, and it's bound to become a popular retreat for visitors and locals alike.
A number of memberships and packages are on offer from 'The Weekly', which costs $69 per week and includes unlimited bathing to 90-minute packages with access to an indoor magnesium pool, outdoor baths, cold plunges, sauna and steam room.
