The Space - Whangarei

A little shoutout to Alice at Wild Ivy Floral Boutique 🌿 We love having her beautiful floral arrangements around The Space—they're the perfect finishing touch.

Keep an eye out for them on your next visit.

Welcome to The Space

Hidden amongst the native bush at The James Homestead, we've created a place where recovery meets nature.

With two traditional Finnish saunas, two cold plunges at different temperatures, a wellness yurt, changing rooms, cold outdoor showers, and a weekly schedule of yoga, Pilates, retreats and sound baths, everything here is designed to help you recover well, move well and live well.

Whether you're looking to improve your wellbeing, support longevity, or simply take an hour for yourself, you'll find your space here.

The James Homestead is also home to a beautiful venue for weddings, retreats and private events, complete with on-site catering, a florist and event management.

Open Tuesday–Sunday. Book your visit through our website.

If you've been before, you already know. If you haven't, come and experience it for yourself

We always look forward to the end of the month as we host Alexandra Coromandel for her most relaxing and tranquil Sound Bath sessions

We still have a few spots left for this Friday's 2 sessions, if you'd like to join Alex for an hour of sound bath and add a sauna onto it before or after the session for a truly amazing experience, head over to our website for bookings and times

These sessions are koha/donation on the day

Sauna isn't just something that feels good—it works best when it becomes part of your routine.

Research suggests that regular sauna use (around 2–4+ sessions per week) is associated with improvements in cardiovascular health, lower stress levels, better sleep, faster recovery after exercise, and an overall sense of wellbeing. Pairing it with cold exposure may also help build resilience, improve your mood, and leave you feeling more energised.

That's exactly why we've introduced our Unlimited Sauna & Cold Plunge Membership.

Come as often as you like (up to one session per day) and make it part of your week—not just an occasional treat.

Whether you train hard, work long hours, or simply need an hour to switch off, consistency is where the real benefits begin.
