SAUNA BOOKINGS
In true Finnish spirit, The Salty Finn Sauna is a communal experience. Bookings are for a single space in the sauna which can accommodate 6 people at a time. You can book multiple spaces if you are visiting with friends or family, or you can always book a private session if you are not game to share.
​
Sauna bookings include time for changing if required. However, please be aware that the change room is small, therefore it is best if you come prepared with your swimsuit on to avoid ‘baring’ too much.
​
Traditional saunas are hot! The heat can be controlled by adding water to the hot stones of the sauna stove. You can also move to different levels of the sauna seating if you need a break from the heat. Moving higher = hotter! To gain the full benefits of hot-cold exposure, it is recommended that you spend 10-15 minutes in the sauna, before cooling off and then repeat!

​
What if I don't want to go into the water, or I am not confident in the ocean?
Any person using the ocean or other bodies of water for the ‘cold plunge’ do so at their own risk. It is the responsibility of the bather to ensure they are a capable swimmer and can handle being exposed to cold temperatures and the varied conditions of the ocean.
Alternatively you may choose to use beachside showers as your cold plunge, or simply the cold weather conditions will be cold enough to cool down between sessions.
There are no water rescue or surf life saving staff on duty. Please consider this before entering any body of water as part of your booking.
​
What is your COVID-19 policy?
The sauna has sufficient ventilation. This is a vital part of a traditional Finnish Sauna. Fresh air is circulated through ventilation points in the sauna. The sauna will also be cleaned between each use. Please do not come to your booking if you are feeling unwell.
