Now Open: Escape Bathhouse Is Ripe for Relaxation on the North Shore, Bringing Therapeutic Bathing to Luxe Heritage Surrounds
Guided by the same team behind luxe Mudgee glamping retreat Sierra Escape, this brand-new bathhouse is revamping wellness on the North Shore.
Enchanting bathhouses are springing up all over Sydney, with the North Shore getting in on the wellness boom with the fresh arrival of Escape Bathhouse. Bringing an undeniable sense of tranquillity and relaxation to Roseville's heritage-listed Seymour Building, this brand-new sanctuary comes from the same team behind luxe Mudgee glamping retreat Sierra Escape.
Spread across two levels of the striking, Spanish Mission-style building built in 1929, the 320-square-metre space offers a blend of traditional and modern therapies. Downstairs, you can dip into a hot mineral pool and unwind at the zero-alc bar, while upstairs houses steam rooms, infrared saunas, ice baths and massage treatment rooms.
"We've always been passionate about creating spaces where people can truly reconnect — with themselves, with their partners, and with their friends," say Co-Founders Cameron and Tasch D'Arcy about the urban sanctuary. "After the success of Sierra Escape, we knew we wanted to bring that experience to a broader audience."
Spanning the headline two-hour Escape Bathhouse experience, guests are invited to complete a hydrothermal circuit, combining a 37-degree mineral pool with chilly ice baths for restorative contrast therapy. Then, an infrared sauna and steam room deepen detoxification. During the circuit, guests can pause at the Placebo Bar to sip back non-alc refreshments and herbal tonics.
"The North Shore is the perfect location for us to create a sanctuary where wellness and connection are at the forefront, allowing our guests to reset, rejuvenate, and experience the power of self-care in a social and intimate environment," Tasch says. With the North Shore still largely untapped when it comes to dedicated bathhouse experiences, this launch feels like a well-timed arrival.
Alongside the bathhouse experience, restorative treatments deliver all-around renewal. The signature treatment, Nunyara, plays on its Indigenous meaning — "to be made well again" — with a two-hour ritual featuring breathwork, full-body exfoliation, therapeutic hot-stone massage and rose-quartz facial rollers. Perfect for weekend pamper sessions and post-gym recovery, Escape Bathhouse is another stellar spot to hit the pause button.
Escape Bathhouse is now open Tuesday–Thursday and Sunday from 7am–8pm and Friday–Saturday from 7am–10pm in the Seymour Building, 989 Pacific Highway, Roseville. Head to the website for more information.
