I came here to explore because the local Centurian sauna was closed. The entrance fee was NZ$25. The clientele was diverse, including both young and old. Since it's a cruise club, it's not like a typical sauna, but it still provides restrooms for an extra NZ$1. Overall, the environment was quite nice and worth a visit.
