Variable

Now that it's the only gay sauna in the lower North Island, the standard has fallen almost to that of the Wakefield that used to be here, back in its bad old monopoly days. Staff are definitely friendlier than then. Facilities are adequate and usually clean enough. Clientele are mixed-age, tending towards older, but can be very few at off-peak times. Friday evening is busiest, followed by Sunday afternoon.
