Discover Southland’s Best Kept Secret

Outdoor Baths and Massage Invercargill

Private outdoor baths, luxury massages, in the heart of Southland.

Fern & Feather Retreat is home to outdoor baths and massage Invercargill locals keep mostly to themselves — tucked into the native bush of Otatara, just minutes from the city centre. Consequently, it’s become a private escape where the only agenda is your complete restoration.

Choose your experience

Outdoor Baths

Sink into warm, fresh water surrounded by native trees and the sounds of tūī and kererū. The bath is yours entirely — no timesharing, no neighbours, no noise except what nature provides.

Invercargill Massage

Indulge in a personalised massage designed to melt away tension. Our massages are tailored to your specific needs, offering deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

The Bush Retreat
Bath & Massage Combined

Our signature experience combines outdoor baths and massage Invercargill guests love most. Begin with a private soak beneath native bush, then ease into a full luxury massage — all in one unhurried morning, afternoon or evening. Therefore, it’s ideal for anyone who doesn’t want to choose between the two. Available for solo and duo bookings, and easily the most popular way to experience Fern & Feather.

Give someone the gift
of pure relaxation

A Fern & Feather gift voucher is the perfect present for any occasion — birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, or just to say you care. Give them an experience they’ll genuinely remember.
