Christmas done differently

The fire’s going, the river is flowing, your playlist is on. One person takes the plunge and the rest follow. Then there’s food and alcohol-free sauna margaritas as the sun drops behind the river gums. It’s the night everyone’s still talking about in January.

Skip the long lunch and bring your team, friends or family down to the river instead. Book the whole wood-fired sauna for a private 60-minute session for up to 8 people, $240 (just $30 each). Or extend to 2 hours and make a proper evening of it.

Black structure with a window and a small fire inside, marked as 'Sauna Society', surrounded by green plants.

Common Questions

  • For groups larger than 8, we recommend an extended session so everyone is comfortable and has time to rotate between the heat and the river. Get in touch and we’ll tailor the right option for your group.

  • Yes. Our sauna is mobile and can be set up at your home, workplace or venue. We just need a flat area with vehicle access and clearance from trees and buildings. Travel and setup fees apply, so send us your location in the enquiry form and we’ll quote it for you

  • No. A dip in the Murray is completely optional, and you’re welcome to cool off under the shower instead.

    Moving between hot and cold, often called contrast therapy, is what many people love most about the experience, so we encourage you to give it a go if you feel comfortable. If you do go in, stay close to the bank and only swim if you’re confident in the water.
