Wellspace is an outdoor sauna and wellness experience set on the banks of the Kawarau River near Queenstown, about five minutes from the airport and close to the Remarkables. Founded by local Rick Gutzewitz, it operates within a large riverside property – described as 24 acres of riverside sanctuary – and centres on wood-fired barrel saunas paired with cold-plunge therapy.
The signature experience combines steam-infused sauna, aromatherapy and cold-water immersion in a roughly 75-minute session, offered as community sessions, private bookings and tailored group experiences.
Wellspace actively caters to the corporate and incentive market, offering corporate workshops and team-bonding sessions, wellness retreats built around mindfulness, yoga and breathwork, and dedicated options for conference groups and offsites looking to step away from the boardroom into a restorative riverside setting. For MICE organisers in Queenstown, it provides a distinctive wellness-focused team activity or incentive add-on. Confirm group sizes, private-session options and packages directly with the operator.
