Come Back Into Tune
Om pairs 2 of the oldest ways to restore the body, sound and mineral water, and you return often enough for them to work.
Resonate 響
Gongs, crystal and bronze bowls and the human voice fill the Cathedral of Sound, a concrete hall built to hold a note. You lie down and let the vibration do the work.
Immerse 湯
Soak in certified mineral water that rises through granite at 38.6°C, in a rockpool of your own. It carries magnesium, bicarbonate, silica and calcium, and its heat lets the body let go.
Return 還
Come back each season. Ordinary life pulls the body out of tune, and regular visits bring it back. Membership holds your rate and your place in the calendar.
Warm water, ancient minerals, universal vibrations.
Frequency
The Cathedral of Sound
A concrete hall over still water, tuned to hold a note, a short walk from the spring. It hosts sound baths, frequency meditation, chant, Qi Gong and breathwork for every owner and guest.
The architecture
The Building Is the Instrument
The Cathedral of Sound is built in concrete with Terraform technology. Its volume, its surfaces and its mass shape every note made inside it.
ConcreteMass keeps outside sound out and lets a note ring long after it is struck.
The naveOne monumental hall at the centre, with smaller rooms for treatment, contemplation and gathering leading off it.
40 hertzThe nave is designed around a 40 hertz fundamental, a low note you feel as much as hear.
The lightDarkness, still water and low amber light, so the eyes rest and the ears lead.
How a stay works
Sound and Water, in Rhythm
Every stay alternates the two. Heat and minerals soften the body, sound settles the mind, and rest lets both land.
01Arrive and soakThe first evening is for the rockpool. Heat and minerals settle the body before sound reaches it.
02Sound sessionA guided session in the Cathedral of Sound, lying still on warm stone while gongs and bowls fill the room.
03Water and restBack to the spring, then sleep. Sound and water alternate through the stay, never rushed.
04Return to tuneLeave lighter and book your next season before you go. The benefits build with every visit.
Return each season and be retuned

The place
A Hot Spring of Your Own, Above Lake Eildon
Rain that fell on the Victorian Alps spends millennia working down through fractured granite, then rises through a fissure beneath this site. It surfaces here and nowhere else, so these 142 villas are all there will ever be.
The villa
Your Own Spring, Your Own Quiet
Charred yakisugi 焼杉 timber outside, the same timber left pale inside, and granite and water between them. There are 142 villas, and there will never be more.
The ritual
6 Movements, Unhurried
Heat, rest, heat again and a sound bowl to finish: 6 movements at your own pace, in your own rockpool.
The villa
Timber, Granite and Glass
The floor is warm from the door, the glass gives you the bush and nobody a view in, and most nights the only sound is the water. Every villa is made as Building Blocks of steel, glass wool and aluminium in the Terraform factory in Cremorne, then assembled on its site.
UnderfootTimber laid over the spring line, warm from the doorway to the courtyard.
WithinVictorian ash, oiled and left pale. No paint anywhere, and the smell of the timber for the first day or so.
WithoutYakisugi, ash charred after the Japanese manner. It darkens with every season and never needs a coat.
The rockpoolGranite, cut and set. The same rock the water spent millennia moving through.
The glassOne way mirror laminate: the bush by day, the stars at night, and complete privacy from outside.
The quietEvery villa stands on its own, and most guests notice the quiet before anything else.
How a Villa Is Built
01FramedThe roll former cuts, punches and labels every steel frame member.
02FittedGlass wool, glazing, wiring, plumbing and linings go in on the production line, and every circuit and pipe is tested before a Block leaves.
03DeliveredThe Blocks reach Om finished inside. The bathroom arrives as a pod, already water tested.
04AssembledScrew piles hold the villa clear of the ground. The Blocks are craned on, bolted together and connected in a day, then the yakisugi facade hangs on, already finished.
