Wild Wellness: Steam Lodge Joins Forces with Wildwood Eco Retreat
The South West is no stranger to luxury retreats and rugged coastal escapes—but every now and then, something special stands out. Wildwood Eco Retreat, opening 1 July, is one of those places.
Tucked away on a working farm just 12 minutes from the beach, Wildwood brings a new kind of stay to the Margaret River region: off-grid, boutique, and grounded in nature. Think Highland cows, bushland sunrise, and starry skies over safari-style tents. It’s all powered by sunshine and rainwater—and now, it features something extra for guests chasing that next-level exhale.
Welcome to the Wildwood Steam Lodge
We’re stoked to share that Steam Lodge will be installing a private sauna at Wildwood Eco Retreat—complete with an ice bath and outdoor shower, all designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape. It’s a setup that invites guests to slow down, switch off, and tap into the real benefits of hot–cold therapy, surrounded by gum trees and farm life.
Whether it’s a misty morning sweat or a sunset recovery session after a beach day, this space is crafted for presence. Clad in recycled timber, the sauna mirrors the eco ethos of the retreat while delivering the kind of durability and detail we’re known for. No gimmicks. Just heat, breath, and stillness.
Looking for more stays with character in the region? The team at Margaret River Region has put together a solid list of 14 of the best farm stays worth checking out, including Wildwood.
At Steam Lodge, we’re all about creating high-quality, Australian-made wellness spaces that connect with their surroundings. Every build we take on is a chance to collaborate with people doing great things, like the team at Wildwood, who’ve reimagined what eco accommodation can look like.
This isn’t just a sauna install. It’s part of a bigger shift we’re seeing in how people travel and recover—more intentional, more grounded, more local.
If you’re staying in the region, Wildwood Eco Retreat is well worth a visit. And if you're dreaming about adding a sauna like this to your own space or short stay property, you know where to find us.
