The interior is a cafe and a very comfortable, intimate, cozy place to hang out and get peace & quiet. They have a nice fireplace and board games as well. Out back, behind the cafe, are the saunas and hot tubs. It is very beautiful and peaceful out there, with a large pond and a bridge. There are private rooms, or cabanas, that are home to the saunas & hot tubs.
It is highly recommended that you make a reservation if want one. Otherwise, you can just explore and ask to be seen a few of the saunas and hot tubs, which are very nice and relaxing.
