This was just amazing. Have never experienced anything like it! I highly recommend 👍 

I wasn't sure how it was going to go but I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be back.

ANZAC day can be a bit of an emotional journey and this was a perfect anodyne to soothe body and soul. 

A truly serene experience. 

From the moment we stepped inside, we felt welcomed by the peaceful and calming atmosphere. We booked the ‘Sauna & Float Package’. Having not floated before, Eleanor talked us through the process and what to expect. The experience was phenomenal. The perfect self love treatment that encourages you to let go of daily stresses and tension. 

Eleanor and Phil are exceptional hosts. We’re so fortunate to have a health centre in New Plymouth such as the Floatation Sanctuary. 



Beautiful peaceful sanctuary of rest and restoration. A wonderful experience. I will be back! 

Please allow 90 minutes for your session, which includes a 1hr (60min) float time plus time for a shower before and after your float, and a briefing if you have not floated with us before.
