What to Expect .

You’ll always be greeted with warmth at our little corner of the wild. We’ll guide you through the day of your session, and we’re here for any advice or support you might need along the way.

Ready, Rinse, Relax

Please aim to arrive at least 10 minutes before your sauna slot to give yourself time to settle in. We recommend starting with a refreshing shower or a plunge. Make sure to shower before entering the plunge pools or sauna, and feel free to rinse again each time you transition between the two — it keeps things fresh and clean.

Oooooh yesss... that's the stuff.....

FAQs

Sauna Experience & Etiquette

  • The sauna can comfortably hold up to 8 people at a time for a communal booking. Private bookings can hold 10 people, you’ll just be sitting a little bit closer together, but still plenty of space.

  • If you're booked into a community session, you may be sharing the space with others. For a more personal experience, we offer private hire options for groups.

  • No – for hygiene and comfort, we ask that all guests wear swimwear while using the sauna.

  • Yes! We offer private group bookings, perfect for gatherings, wellness events, or a relaxing session with friends.

  • Yes, we often play soothing background music to enhance your relaxation, but the volume is kept low to maintain a calm atmosphere.

  • If you feel unwell please leave the sauna and notify our staff. Take a seat and grab a drink. Rest easy knowing our staff are all fully first aid trained, and we’re fully safety compliant.

  • Cancellations can be made up to 24 hours ahead of your booked session. You can move your session to an alternative day or time. Refunds will be given if Saunahood cancels the sessions.

  • Children 10+ are welcome in the sauna but must be with an adult at all times. Children under 14 must not use the plunge pools, but they can use the shower.

Sauna & Cold Plunge Use

  • We recommend alternating between the hot sauna and cold plunge for maximum benefit: warm up in the sauna for 10–15 minutes, then take a short dip in the cold plunge to stimulate circulation. Repeat as desired.
