Dunalley Bay Sauna
Murdunna, Australia

About
A six-seat cedar barrel sauna with a Harvia electric heater, set at a fixed spot on the Forestier Peninsula with calm water views over Dunalley Bay. It runs unstaffed and self-guided: you book online, let yourself in, and there is a change room on site. Shared public hours and whole-barrel bookings are both on the calendar.
Good to know
- Electric stove: quicker to bring up to temperature, easier to control, and what most urban bathhouses run.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
Hours
