My first time at NZ and during Bear Day. The place was awesome and very clean, and the staff was 5-stars. All very nice and kind, even with the craziness of Bear Day where every seat was filled up! Although the jacuzzi was up for maintenance, the rest of the place was very nice and enjoyable. Had a blast with a couple of chubs, bears and twinks, all in for the fun! I do wish there was a smoking area, or a little corner where I wouldn’t have to put my clothes back on to take a smoke break, but it is not the place’s fault as it is the law. All in all, it was very welcoming towards the big chubs like me! Checking if I can return not on Bear Day and see what the buzz is like. Keep it up!
i visit here regularly. it is, in the centre, with well priced food, nice drinks, and douching facilities. the leater mattress in cabins are cleaned regularly and can be cleaned by myself easily. for me, who hates odour, it is surprisingly clean. the sauna is legit hot, with a nice view to the showers. aufguss on mon and thu. people respect boundaries and consent. downsides: jacuzzi breaks from time to time; there is definitely racist here from other customers (i'm asian); and can we have a better hairdryer please? i started visiting for intimacy, but realise it is actually pleasant if i just want a sauna and a booze. staff are nice. thanks for all the nights! good job guys.
It's good to be here on a cold winter time. Very easy to walk to from the central train station, apparently, even if you rather use & follow directions from Google maps. The staff were friendly and helpful. They don't mind even if you show up in a wheelchair.
Great atmosphere here, you can chat with guys at the bar or mingle in private, or not so private, with one or two guys. This is probably the sauna with the best culture for using protection. The crew is polite and welcoming!
Great exciting place with wellness and others events on multiple evenings. They have a nice dry sauna which is around 80 degrees and a comfy steam sauna. The jacuzzi is small and has very aggressive bubbles dispersers; hard to find a spot where the water doesn’t get into your eyes. Even though it’s a small sauna it really has great food (especially for a gay sauna); really no need to stress to have food before you enter (kitchen open until 22:00). Very comfy to chill, eat and drink in the lounge: which looks and feels quite luxurious and is a decent size. Interior is well maintained, regularly cleaned and the staff is great. Somehow the dry sauna has broken an unfortunate amount of times in the past; so if you really go there for the dry sauna make sure to call and check if it’s working.
