She gets the white robe, the best spot in the warm pool and a whole crew who came just for her. You get to float too, and the thank-yous in the group chat have your name on them.
From an organiser who got to enjoy it
“So I organised a hen party from London for my best friend in Australia and honestly didn't know how I was going to pull it off and so happy I found My Ultimate Hens.
From start to finish everything exceeded expectations, thankyou for all the little surprises, how smoothly everything went and it all just worked and we had just the best time and honestly just soak it all in, which is pretty rare when you're the one organising.
It ended up being one of the best nights ever and there's no way I could have done it from the other side of the world without you. I'm so grateful and honestly couldn't recommend you more.”
Emily Stedman, Google
Soaking it all in, as the organiser. That’s the whole idea. More real hens
01 robes on
Somebody makes room beside her in the water. The catching up begins.
A bathhouse hens party with My Ultimate Hens is warm pools, steam and sauna with the bride’s favourite people, then the toasts and the rest of her day planned around the soak; our packages are in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth and Adelaide.
It’s the hens where everyone is finally in the one place at the one time. Her school friend, her work friend and her sister end up side by side in the same warm pool, and the stories she was hoping they’d never swap get swapped anyway. Nobody’s shouting over a DJ. Nobody’s waiting on an Uber. There is warm water, good company and a whole crew with nowhere else to be.
What’s a bathhouse? Warm and mineral pools, a steam room and a sauna, often a cold plunge, that your crew moves between together for a set session. Hot springs are the outdoor cousin: natural mineral pools, usually a drive out of the city.
Ten minutes in, the group chat has gone quiet, the bride is floating with her eyes shut, and somebody’s mum has just done the cold plunge twice.
Every good bathhouse hens, about ten minutes in
Robes on
Robes tied, hair up, the bride in the middle. It’s the photo you’ll still be using as your group chat picture next year.
The first warm pool
Shoulders drop, the conversation starts, and her friends from every part of her life are suddenly in the same few metres of warm water.
Steam and sauna
The steam room, the sauna, and the cold plunge for whoever’s game. Somebody always shrieks, and the bride gets a front-row seat.
Back to the warm water
Back into the warm pool, then a quiet corner, a cup of tea and the kind of catch-up you can’t have on a dance floor.
Out and dressed up
Hair down, outfits on, everyone grinning. The speeches and the clinking happen after, at lunch, on a rooftop or at dinner, where you can be as loud as you like.
Then
A rooftop, dinner, a dance floor or a slow night in. The soak was the start, not the whole story.
And you? You booked one thing, then floated with everyone else.
02 pick her pool
Six ways to get her crew into warm water, from a city soak to a whole weekend. Tap the one that’s her and we’ll keep it in mind when you tell us about her.
The warm pools, the steam room and the sauna, a set session with the girls, then out the door and on to lunch. It’s the easiest way to drop a soak into a day in town. Some bathhouses are Korean or Japanese in style, with scrubs and rituals of their own, which makes for a very good story at lunch.
Private hire, so every pool, every bench in the steam room and every lounger belongs to her people for the session. Louder laughs, longer stories, and a robe photo with nobody else in the background. Looking for a private bathhouse for your group? This is the one.
Natural mineral pools a drive out of the city, the crew together in the water under the open sky, then a long lunch. Think the Mornington Peninsula or Daylesford from Melbourne, or the Gold Coast hinterland. The drive is part of the day, and a hens party bus turns it into the first stop of the fun.
The social sauna everyone’s talking about, turned into a sauna hen party: the hot bench, the shriek on the plunge, the warm-up after, and the bride with the best plunge face of the day. Every bit of it is for whoever’s game. Rather a sound bath? See hens pilates and yoga.
The bathhouse together, then a massage or a facial each, then everyone back on the lounges swapping stories. The best of both: the crew time and the looked-after time. More treatment-led? See hens spa days.
Check in, soak in the afternoon, dinner and the night out, then a slow morning in comfies with the stories from yesterday. You stay in our own accommodation, so the crew gathers at our Bach Pad between the soak and the night. See our hens weekend packages.
03 which water?
A bathhouse is pools, steam and sauna the whole crew shares at once; hot springs are natural mineral pools a drive out of town; a day spa is treatment rooms and a massage or facial each.
| Compare | Bathhouse | Hot springs | Day spa |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Warm pools, steam and sauna in the city | Natural mineral pools, usually a drive out | Treatment rooms, a massage or facial each |
| The feel | The whole crew in the water together | A day out, outdoors, slower still | Quiet rooms, then a lounge |
| Best for | A crew who want to talk and float | A crew who want a day trip | A bride who wants to be looked after |
| After | Lunch, a rooftop or the night out | A long country lunch | Lunch, high tea or dinner |
Want the treatments to lead? See hens spa days. Rather stretch than soak? See hens pilates and yoga.
04 who’s in the water
Different crews, the same warm water. Everyone in it is there for her.
She loves her people, a beautiful space and a slower afternoon. Give her warm water and her favourite company and she’s already having the best day.
The friends who never get enough time together, finally in the same place, with nothing to shout over. Her uni friends and her work friends will have an alliance by the second pool.
Warm pools and steam when it’s cold and grey outside. A bathhouse is at its very best in June, with the robe photo and a hot drink after. More ideas: winter hens party theme ideas.
Everyone gets the same warm water, the same robe and the same front-row seat to the bride. The bubbles can come later, or not at all, and nobody misses out on a thing.
A soak before the sequins. Everyone arrives at dinner relaxed and ready, and the dance floor gets the best version of the crew.
Tell us she’s pregnant when you tell us about her, and we’ll plan her day around what suits her, so she’s still the centre of all of it. More ideas: hens party ideas for a pregnant bride.
“Molly is amazing!! I had so many questions, needed to work into budgets and potential pregnant guests. Molly gave me a tonne of options, responded to my emails quickly and made the whole journey of planning a hen's weekend a breeze! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a destination hens weekend”
Chloe G., Easy Weddings verified review
05 pack the bathers
The bride in white, the girls in bathers you can float in, and an outfit in the bag for the reveal after.
White bathers or a white robe, the one different colour in the water. A Bride towel turban if she’s game, and she’s the easiest girl to find in every photo.
Bathers you can actually float in, matching robes if you want the robe photo, and slides or thongs for the walk between pools. Comfy beats cute between pools, every time.
Take the robe photos before you go in and after you come out, when everyone’s glowing. The pools are for switching off, and phones away is half the magic.
Bathhouses are calm by design, so the speeches, the singing and the games happen after, over lunch or on the rooftop. That’s the order that works: soak while everyone’s fresh, then celebrate out loud.
Copy a packing list into the group chat
Soak day list: bathers, a hair tie, a water bottle, slides or thongs, and your outfit for after in the bag. The bride in white.
Robe photo: everyone in white robes, the bride in a towel turban that says Bride. Sunnies on. Photo first, then in the water.
The reveal: pack something you love for after. We go from robes to rooftop, so dress for the second half of her day.

The package is the magic.
Our bathhouse hens packages usually sit around $250 to $300 per person.
Our bathhouse days come inside a hens package with the rest of her day built around them, so the price is per person and it’s the whole celebration, not just the soak.

A few favourites from our crews. Soak while everyone’s fresh, toast after.
Brisbane
Warm pools and a massage or facial each, then up to a rooftop bar in the afternoon sun, and dinner with the whole crew dressed up for the reveal.
Brisbane
A slow grazing brunch with the bubbles flowing, up to a rooftop bar over the city, then the bathhouse and a massage or facial each to finish the day warm.
Gold Coast
The warm pools, sauna and steam room with a massage or facial and a round of bubbly, then a rooftop beach club and a long tapas dinner with the whole crew.
A My Ultimate Hens bathhouse day puts the whole celebration in one place: the soak, the toast and wherever the girls go next, lined up so the quiet bit and the loud bit each get their moment, because we’ve been building hens since 2011.
See it in her city.
09 in their words
From the girls who were there, word for word, on what a My Ultimate Hens day is like.
My Ultimate Hens crews, pyjamas, boas and all.
“We booked a package with My Ultimate Hens for my friend's hens weekend. I initially heard about this company from another hens night I was at, with a friend, and it exceeded expectations. The itinerary was well thought out, the venues were great, and the transitions between each activity were seamless. It really felt like a premium, well-organised experience from start to finish. Highly, highly recommend!”
Stacey Bennett, Google
“Our night flowed really well, no stuffing around and most importantly I got to actually enjoy my friends hens instead of playing event manager all night because everything had already been thought through. The timing, what was included, where we'd go next, what suited the 9 girls we had and honestly, I didn't properly realise how much difference that would make until the actual night itself. It felt like a proper event rather than us just meeting at a few places Han loved every part of it and even said how did you do and find all this?? So that was the review from her I needed and I would use them again in a heartbeat!”
Jess Mitchelson-Hall, Google
“I've been on 3 separate hens parties arranged by My Ultimate Hens, and have recommended them to friends since then.
They have all been such lovely, colourful, effortless and welcoming experiences!
The event day information came through well ahead of time, and a pre-event plan was emailed in preparation so we all knew the plan. Highly recommend!”

The soak is the quiet bit, so these are for after: print one per guest or play them off a phone over lunch. Every game comes girls gone mild or spicy. Flip the card to the one that suits her crew; you know them best.
The icebreaker for a crew who half know each other. Hunt down a guest for every square and get her name in it. Mild: who has seen the bride ugly cry. Spicy: who dated someone the bride warned her about.
Girls gone mild
Spicy
Girl talk with a pen. Pick a square, answer it, pass it on. The mild card is first impressions and lazy Sundays. The spicy one is worst first dates: spill it or sip.
Girls gone mild
Spicy
Five questions only her people can answer. Everyone writes, the bride reads them out, and the room finds out who really knows her. Her coffee order on the mild card, her first kiss on the spicy one.
Girls gone mild
Spicy
One card each, filled in over the platters and handed over sealed. She keeps them all. Mild is marriage advice and date nights; spicy is what to pack for the honeymoon.
Girls gone mild
Spicy
Point, vote, write her name in. Who goes home in the robe, who falls asleep mid-facial. The spicy card asks who overshares to her massage therapist.
Girls gone mild
Spicy
Five this-or-thats about the bride. Everyone writes her answer, she reveals the truth. Massage or facial on the mild card; a wild honeymoon or a sleepy one on the spicy one.
Girls gone mild
Spicy
Twelve little dares for the lounge or the lunch table, once you’re out of the water. Mild: swap sunnies with the bride, start a slow clap. Spicy: a body roll in your robe, read your last sent text out loud.
Girls gone mild
Spicy
Everyone finishes five lines about the bride, folds the card and drops it in. She reads them out and guesses who wrote each one. Bring tissues for the mild card and a straight face for the spicy one.

A bathhouse hens party is a soak in warm pools, steam and sauna with the bride’s favourite people, then the toasts and the rest of her day; with My Ultimate Hens it comes inside a hens package with lunch, a rooftop or the night planned around it.
A bathhouse is pools, steam and sauna that the whole crew shares at once, while a day spa is treatment rooms with a massage or facial each. Want the treatments to lead? See hens spa days.
A city bathhouse fits easily into a day or night in town, while hot springs make it a day trip with natural mineral pools and a slower pace; both end with the toast after the soak.
Yes. Bathers go on under the robe, and a white pair for the bride makes the photo.
Yes, and the toasts land best after the soak, once everyone’s dressed and out to lunch, a rooftop or wherever her day goes next.
Yes, the whole bathhouse for the bride’s crew is one of the ways to do it, so every pool is hers for the session. See the whole bathhouse for her crew.
Six of you or thirty, it works a treat. Tell us how many are coming when you tell us about her.
Yes, and the best ones are the robe photos before you go in and after you come out, all pink-cheeked and happy.
Tell us she’s pregnant when you tell us about her, and we’ll plan her day around what suits her, so she’s still the centre of it. More ideas: hens party ideas for a pregnant bride.
No. The soak is the calm bit by design, and the loud bit comes after, at lunch, on a rooftop or out for the night.
Our bathhouse hens packages usually sit around $250 to $300 per person, and every package is the whole celebration, not just the soak.
Usually lunch, a rooftop, or dinner and the night; the soak is the start, and the rest of her day is planned around it.
Yes. Warm pools and steam are at their best when it’s cold outside, which makes a bathhouse one of the easiest winter hens days there is.

Not quite her kind of water? These are close by.
Somewhere in the warm water, the bride is floating with her eyes shut, her people all around her, nobody checking the time. You found the hens where the bride actually got to float.
