Gatherwell — Attraction in Vancouver

Absolutely thrilled to share my wonderful experience from last night at the local cold plunge and sauna! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and friendliness by both the host and other guests, setting the tone for an incredible visit.

The host's welcoming demeanor instantly put me at ease, making me feel like I was among friends. Their knowledge and passion for the cold plunge and sauna experience were evident as they guided me through the process, ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way.

What truly stood out was the sense of community fostered by both the host and fellow guests. We exchanged stories, tips, and laughter, creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. It felt like a gathering of like-minded individuals all seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.

The cold plunge and sauna themselves were top-notch. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and provided the perfect environment for unwinding. After alternating between the invigorating cold plunge and the soothing sauna sessions, I emerged feeling refreshed, revitalized, and ready to take on the world.

Overall, my experience at the local cold plunge and sauna exceeded my expectations, thanks in large part to the friendly host and wonderful guests. I can't wait to return for another dose of relaxation and camaraderie. Highly recommended for anyone looking to treat themselves to a truly...

Went here with a few friends, definitely a nice and affordable gem in the city!

Pros: Well built sauna, and we loved the fireplace and tower. The towel robes were a nice touch! Parking is affordable nearby $1/hr on a weekend Hosts are friendly and respect your space -Everything is clean and tidy and they provide hot water, tea, and some light music in the background! It's very affordable with a large group

Cons: The sauna and baths are not cleaned between groups. You sort of start late (waiting for other group to leave) and end early (new group arriving), so don't expect to have the full time even if you came early.

Nice to know:

The contact number goes straight to voicemail, and they only respond by text message. The location is literally in a back alley, those in the 2nd floor offices across can see you, or if you look hard enough through the cloth covering the fence. In case you require privacy for religious and/or personal reasons. There is no sheltered waiting area, so if you arrive early you will wait outside in the alley so def bring an umbrella if it's raining!

Fun experience, definitely something different to try with...

I didn't know what to expect as a first timer so my expectations were reserved - and I was really pleasantly surprised!

They've done a great job of creating a nice atmosphere despite being technically a parking area in the alley - I forgot where I was!

The community session with the robes, plus the tea and cute change rooms were nice touches that made it feel like a special experience. I'm having trouble remembering our host's name, but he was super welcoming and helpful.

As a first time plunger, I enjoyed the different temperatures to try and the timers were handy!

The sauna was hot - perfect! It seems compared to earlier reviews they've worked to make it reach nice temperature. Loved the ice balls for the sauna too!

Price point felt super accessible for a nearly 2 hour session. It was a quiet time (mid morning on a Monday), but the host told us it can be full during weekends and evenings which isn't a negative - just a different vibe with more conversation and something I'd...
