A ‘FIRE and ice” experience, nine new pools and a cafe will open to the public next month as part of the long-awaited $13 million expansion of Peninsula Hot Springs.
Up to 750,000 visitors are expected to flock to Fingal to experience what is being touted as an Australian-first: a Bath House Amphitheatre encompassing a -10C ice cave, a -25C deep freeze and a sauna.
The new area will include seven extra hot spring pools, two cold plunge pools, an outdoor stage, food bowl, new cafe, wellness centre and cultural meeting spaces.

Peninsula Hot Springs co-founder and chief executive Charles Davidson said the Bath House Amphitheatre offered guests a chance to “refresh and rejuvenate their mind, body and soul, allowing them to reconnect with nature and the community”.
“We have expanded to allow additional guests to visit the Hot Springs and to ensure each visitor will experience even more diverse globally inspired experiences that have never been seen before in Australia — and in some cases internationally,” Mr Davidson said.
He said the attraction incorporated learning activities to teach guests about different bathing cultures.
“This includes a new cultural meeting space, created in collaboration with Boon Wurrung Elder Aunty Carolyn Briggs and Yuin Elder Uncle Max Dulumunmun,” he said.
Assistant Federal Trade, Tourism and Investment Minister Mark Coulton recently unveiled the Bath House Amphitheatre and said it was a highlight for Victoria’s tourism industry.
“This expansion will generate new opportunities for local jobs and regional tourism, and further enhance the unique natural wellness experience that visitors can enjoy here,” Mr Coulton said.
The new Bath House Amphitheatre will be open to the public in September.
