Frequently Asked Questions

Why Sauna?

You clearly have not had a sauna for a while… it’s great for your body and mind and you will be feeling extremely relaxed after your sauna session!

What do I need to bring?

Simply bring your bathers or boardies and we recommend two towels (one for in the sauna, one for drying afterwards).

Do you have towel hire?

Yes, we have a limited number of towels available for $10 per session.

6 person sauna (or up to 8 for groups with smaller frames).

What can I expect from start to finish?

A session lasts for 60 minutes and typically we suggest doing 3 cycles of approximately 15 minutes, allowing the body to cool down between each cycle.

The sauna is heated with a powerful 9kW Harvia Heater and Olivine Stones to deliver authentic Finnish heat.

What about sauna etiquette?

Can I film my sauna experience?

Only if you have booked a private session or have the explicit consent of those you are sharing the experience with.

We suggest drinking water at the end of each cycle rather than taking water bottles into the sauna.

Should I come early?

Yes if you’d like a walk on the beach beforehand.

Apart from having a sauna, what else can we do?

Should I arrive early?

Yes! Take in the coastal ambiance and enjoy a coffee and some cake beforehand.

What if your friends are having a sauna but you're not interested?

Grab a drink and have a snack. Or wander along the beach and enjoy the shore birds, or spot some finches and wrens in the sand dunes. It's a beautiful place to relax.

Does a gin cocktail taste good after a sauna?

It certainly does! As does beer or wine or whisky. In fact, they never taste better than after a sauna.
