Bathhouse

Bathhouses occupy a distinct position in the broader bathing landscape: venues built around communal or sequential water use, typically offering a circuit of pools, steam, and heat rather than a menu of individual treatments. The form has deep roots in European and Japanese tradition, and the venues listed here, from Hepburn Springs to Collingwood to Hobart, represent its current shape in Australia. Some lean toward the social and architectural; others sit closer to a spa model with bathhouse elements alongside.
