My friends and I had the best session at DARC today. Such a beautiful modern space which feels very luxe and clean, but very functional at the same time. We absolutely loved the size of the Infrared Saunas; the lighting was fun and the smell of the cedar was an added bonus. The ice bath water is crystal clear and we all had time to do two rounds of the sauna and ice. The saunas are hot! Which makes getting in the ice bath so much better - so happy we found this little gem and left feeling absolutely amazing. Will definitely be making this a regular thing - thank you DARC.

I have been using the sensory deprivation magnesium float tank for a few months now. I eagerly await my session so I can float off into a calming bliss; having a space to completely tap out for 45 mins is a must in my busy life. Apart from the complete relaxation and calm I experience, I have also noticed an overall release of tension, quicker recovery time from muscular discomfort. I cannot stop sharing this experience with anyone that will listen, I have found my Zen in this space and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Miranda, for bringing this experience to Dunsborough.

Firstly, amazing staff, amazing owner (Miranda). Warm greetings with great knowledge. When you lay in the tank, you become weightless. Every muscle in your body begins to lengthen as all contractions are being released. I notice that even when I think I am fully relaxed; another release reveals itself. You're brought to full awareness of the self so quickly it's amazing! If you have never tried this then you must. Deep relaxation, clarity and a stronger connection to self. Pure bliss!

Firstly, what a space! The facilities are top class and I felt relaxed as soon as I walked in. I have used the infrared sauna’s and ice bath many times, I like that they are spacious enough that you can have multiple people in them comfortably. I have had sessions with the missus and also have been with mates. It’s a great opportunity to spend quality time with people whilst doing something good for your health. Friendly staff, clean and functional Recovery Centre. I can’t wait to try out the float tank too, it looks epic!

Frequently Asked Questions

Our premises are fitted with two luxurious custom-built Infrared Saunas, an Ice Bath and a sensory deprivation Magnesium Float Tank.

Our spacious infrared saunas were designed and built to accommodate 5-6 people comfortably and are something to be experienced as you relax and unwind.

Our saunas use the highest quality long wave or far-infrared (FIR) panels. FIR has the longest wave length and can penetrate the deepest into the body, effortlessly penetrating the muscles, connective tissues and joints. FIR is often associated with various health benefits including pain relief, relaxation and detoxification.

Our Ice Bath and sensory deprivation Magnesium Float Tank are manufactured by Dreampod who are industry leaders in purpose built commercial float, plunge and soak equipment. Our equipment is temperature controlled at all times and has automated cleaning cycles after each use providing our customers with the most consistent and hygienic floating and plunging experience possible.

  • Infrared Sauna Express – 30mins
  • Infrared Sauna and Ice bath – 60mins
  • Magnesium Float tank – 45mins
