The West Coast Bush Bath

Westport Bush Bath

A unique West Coast experience!

Have you ever imagined soaking in a hot bath surrounded by native bush?

Do you want a relaxing hour with a friend in a genuine double bath, or just by yourself in an old-fashioned claw foot cast-iron bath, to unwind, reflect and have a good long relaxing soak?

The West Coast Bush Bath is about relaxing with mother nature all around you, while you unwind and soak (and maybe sip a wine and have a little nibble…)
Take a whole hour to have a bath and be unbelievably relaxed when you leave – this we can guarantee. Turn your cell phone off and do it!


What do you get?

  • Your choice of a single or double bath
  • You hire the bath area for 1 ¼ hours: It takes about 15 minutes to fill the double bath.
  • There is a shower / toilet area at your disposal.
  • A choice of bubble bath or bath salts
  • 2 complementary soaps to try and a face cloth
  • Two wine glasses if you want them
  • A big long relax

The West Coast Bush Bath experience

Where is it?

At the rear of the Soap Box at 114 Palmerston St, Westport. Have a look at the map on our contact page.


What are the rules?

No smoking please (the baths are surrounded by dry bark)

Bring a towel and a good attitude! Under 16 not permitted without an adult. Limited to 2 people at a time and 1¼ hours unless negotiated otherwise.

It takes 15 minutes to fill the double bath, so arrive on time to get your full hour in the bath (you'll be wrinkly by then anyway!). We have a cleaner organised, so you don't even have to do that (in fact we prefer it if you don't clean the bath !).

You can book for any time you wish: when you pay, you get an instruction sheet plus the push-button codes for after hours access if required.

Call us +64-3-789 8828, send us an email or stop by at the shop to make your booking.
