This guide explains what to expect at Elsewhere Sauna, from the facilities and session format to prices, getting there and similar venues close by, so you can decide whether it suits you before you book.

Elsewhere Sauna uses a wood-fired heater, which gives the heat a softer, slightly smoky character and a crackle you do not get from electric stoves. Wood-fired saunas are often found in outdoor settings, such as beaches, lakes, gardens and pontoons, and pair naturally with a cold dip outside. The area near the stove is the hottest, so move further away if it feels intense.

Elsewhere Sauna makes use of the water outside: a sea or lake dip between sauna rounds. A natural plunge has its own character, with changing temperatures, waves or still water and open sky, but it also needs common sense. Enter carefully, stay where you can stand, and skip the dip if conditions look rough.

With Elsewhere Sauna close to the beach, the classic way to use it is heat, then ocean, then rest. Book your session, warm up properly in the sauna, then walk down for a dip and come back to warm up again. Ocean temperatures change through the year, so winter dips are far colder than summer ones. Only swim between the flags or in safe, calm water, and skip the dip if the surf is up.

We have not yet confirmed a current starting price for Elsewhere Sauna. As a guide, the typical listed starting price for saunas in Australia is around $46, though prices vary with session length and facilities. Most venues sell timed sessions online, and weekend and evening slots tend to sell out first.

• Wood-fired stoves radiate strongly. Sit further from the firebox if the heat feels too intense.
• Check water conditions before an ocean or lake dip, stay within your depth and never swim alone.
• Drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and leave the heat straight away if you feel dizzy or unwell.
• Check what Elsewhere Sauna provides, such as towels, robes, lockers and toiletries, so you know what to pack.

Saunas and cold water are not for everyone. If you are pregnant or have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure or another medical condition, ask your doctor first.
