Sweating it out is great, but replenishing is key, bring water and keep hydrated.

Bring some foot wear for moving around outside the sauna between sessions.

How it works

Before Your Session

We recommend avoiding heavy meals for two hours before your session and staying well-hydrated before, during, and after. Please remove any metal jewellery.

What To Expect

This is a wild, no-frills experience—there are no changing rooms nearby, so it’s best to arrive with your togs on. Toilets are a few hundred metres away at Ivon Wilson Park, so we recommend a quick pit stop before you arrive.

During Your Session

You’ll be welcomed by a member of our friendly team, who will provide a full briefing and guide you through a towel-waving ritual designed to circulate heat throughout the sauna. To enhance the experience, we use carefully selected music and essential oils, creating a soothing and immersive atmosphere.
