Arden now comes with a wellness bathhouse option

Gently nestled amongst a preservation of Peppermint and Blue Gums, on the outskirts of

the historic village of Richmond, is The Croft at Arden. Across Arden’s 140 acres, the

undulations distinguish low-lying pasture, where sheep graze and chickens roam, from the

Tasmanian bushland which sits elevated along the ridgelines. It is here, amongst the

Tasmanian bush, that The Croft, an exquisitely appointed two-bedroom cabin, is nestled.

With absolute seclusion, you will immerse yourself in the natural environment, gently

stepping into a slowing of time and a stillness of mind.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

A Tasmanian-made woodfired hot tub, set just off the deck, entices a long soak. Lay back,

enveloped in the warmth of the tub, as the breeze catches the Gums and gently ripples the

water. As day gives way to evening, watch the moon rise and bask in starlight, with

The Croft’s seclusion enhancing Tasmania’s dark, star-speckled skies.

The warm glow of flames flickering in the outdoor fireplace is alluring. Gather around.

Share a local pinot perfectly paired with cheese, chocolate and conversation. Collect

and shape your stick for toasting marshmallows. And allow conversations to linger longer in

the glow of the embers.

Your closest neighbours will be the wildlife which thrives at Arden. Wallabies, echidnas, and

a vast birdlife will pass by The Croft. Look up and you are likely to see two

wedgetail eagles soaring and circling, their nest protected by its position tucked under

Arden’s hilltop.

Bathhouse:

Arden Bathhouse is a private, 4-hour booking set within the Tasmanian bush. A pavilion anchors the space — with living area, change room and amenities — connected by walkways to a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge and hot tub.

The experience is self-guided with gentle structure.

Light the sauna fire and let the heat build slowly.  Meanwhile, settle into the pavilion, relaxing on the day bed with a good book, gentle conversation and drink of choice.  Then emerge and move between heat and cold at your own pace before settling into the hot tub.  Where you simply get to sit and be still.

This is not a rushed spa appointment — it’s time set aside.

Bookings via "Details and book here"

NOTE: The bathhouse is required to be booked separately, however a discount is available for guests of The Croft.
