Below is our visitor guide to City Cave Canberra: how the facilities work, what a typical session looks like, what it costs, how to get there and which saunas are nearby if you want to compare options.

Infrared is part of the offering at City Cave Canberra. Infrared cabins run cooler than traditional saunas, typically 45–65°C, because the panels warm your skin rather than the air around you. That makes them a good choice for first-timers or anyone who finds high heat uncomfortable, and it is why infrared sessions are often booked in longer blocks.

City Cave Canberra offers private sessions, so you can book a room for yourself or a small group rather than sharing with strangers. Private bookings suit first-timers, couples and anyone who wants a quiet session on their own terms. They are booked by time slot, so arrive a few minutes early to get the most from it.

Infrared studios like City Cave Canberra are built for calm, private sessions. You will usually have the room to yourself or a companion, with controls for the temperature and sometimes the lighting or music. Because infrared cabins are cooler than traditional saunas, sessions run longer, often 30–45 minutes, and you will sweat steadily rather than intensely. It is a good fit for a quiet reset at lunchtime or after work.

Listed prices at City Cave Canberra start from about $49 (+$10 red light tower). That is close to the typical starting price of around $47 across the Canberra saunas we list with published prices. Private rooms are often priced per room or per slot, so sharing with a friend can be better value. Popular times, such as early mornings, evenings and weekends, fill up first, so book online where possible. Prices and session times change, so confirm the current rates on the City Cave Canberra website before you go.
