We are proud to offer our Bed & Breakfast POUNAMU guests the enjoyment of an Outdoor Finnish sauna
'Pukeko'.

This new luxury facility custom built by New Zealand's leading manufacturer offers guests the opportunity to experience complete relaxation of mind and body and the feeling of well-being.

The sauna's benefits are numerous. Not least because it is so relaxing and leaves your body soothed and your mind serene. It's main advantage lies in the fact that it promotes sweating, helping the body to rid itself of toxins. It is also believed that exposure of the skin to heat stimulates the production of white blood cells and strengthens the immune system.

Other benefits of the sauna include:

      • Improved blood circulation: The sauna increases and improves the rate of blood circulation and breathing.
      • Weight loss: Sauna is similar to mild exercise, it burns about 300 calories per average session. Regular sauna treatments combined with a healthy diet and moderate exercise will help you lose weight and stay fit and healthy.
      • Skin cleansing: A profuse sauna-induced sweat followed by a shower cleanses your skin far more thoroughly than just taking a shower. It makes it soft and healthy with immediately noticeable effects.
      • Body relaxation: Stress build-up creates tension in the body manifesting in various aches and pains. The heat and humidity of the sauna diffuses the pain and relaxes tired muscles. A sauna in the evening will leave tense muscles and sore limbs totally relaxed. Sauna also temporarily relieves arthritic pain.
      • Mind relaxation: The sauna is essentially a place to relax. Regular sauna adepts all agree that it effectively helps relieve physical and mental fatigue and stress.

 

Don't worrie if you are not familiar with what sauna has to offer. We will 'take you by the hand'. Choose the sauna temperature you enjoy most. A suitable sauna temperature is between 60 - 100 degrees Celsius. The humidity of the sauna air is regulated by good fresh air and throwing water on the hot stones: the water changes into smooth invisible steam and increases the humidity and makes the temperature feels warmer.
