The space

A private barrel sauna, tucked off James Street

Our hot rocks sauna sits in its own enclosed yard behind a black gate. Heat up, cool off, and take the hour at your own pace.

It's all yours

Only the people on your booking come through the gate. No strangers on the bench next to you.

Two cold showers

Heat up in the barrel, then cool off under the showers in our private, enclosed area.

55 minute sessions

Long enough to settle in, with time to get out before the next booking arrives.

Hooks and a bench

Somewhere to hang your things and sit down while you get changed.

Our story

How a spare corner of James Street became a sauna

When Ben and Simone Dobson bought this building to run Dobson Electrical, there was an unused, rather ugly space down the side that was just begging for a makeover.

Rather than let it go to waste, we turned it into a sauna and relaxation space for Ulverstone. It's close to town, there's plenty of parking, and it's private and peaceful.

“What started as a side project has become something we truly love sharing with our community.”
