About Us
Our Story: From a Wild Idea to Your Backyard
It began a decade ago with a simple question. While submerged in a natural hot spring, childhood friends Chris and Dan looked around and wondered: “Why couldn’t this experience exist anywhere?”
That moment of clarity sparked a journey of engineering and design. We set out to bridge the gap between the raw beauty of nature and the comfort of home. From our workshop on Victoria’s Surf Coast, we developed a world-first design: luxury tubs and plunge pools created to belong in the wild, bringing the calm of a natural spring to wherever you are.
