​We build dry saunas for your home so that you can get the most from the health benefits of the traditional sauna therapy from regular use. Stress relief, lowered blood pressure, improved circulation and better sleep are just some of the health benefits of the sauna. With just a small 2 person sauna for fast and efficient heat up, you can already start to feel the increased life quality from regular sauna sessions.​

Top Tip: Aufguss Sauna Experience
​For the best sauna experience, pour water mixed with essential oils on the sauna stones. In the high temperatures of your sauna, waves of scented heat will wash over your body, increasing relaxation.​
Wood-Fired vs Electric Saunas
The benefits of a wood-fired sauna, are largely from ventilation and ambience. The consumption of oxygen by the fireplace draws a stready flow of air into the sauna, keeping the space fresh and well ventilated, while the warm glow of the fireplace relaxes the nervous system.

Electric Sauna
Convenience is the word with an electric heater. With a remote control, for the best user experience, you can set your home sauna to heat up for when you arrive home from work. No thought of organising your next firewood or keeping the fire going.
The Best Sauna Experience
The best home saunas are outdoor saunas. Counting down the minutes inside the sauna, until the sand timer is up, and then opening the door to be greated by the cool New Zealand evening, is the reason why we love outdoor saunas.
High-Quality Materials
We build our dry saunas with carefully selected, high-quality materials that do not contain any plastics or chemical treatment, while meeting the standards of New Zealand homes for durability. See what materials we use!

Our saunas are built on a steel frame that makes them portable if you decide to move or think of a better spot for your sauna. But if it is beach sunsets that you're after, one of our mobile saunas built on a trailer may be the way to go! Check out our portable sauna page for more information!
Sauna Size
The size of a sauna is roughly calculated by 60cm bench space per person. However, one of our most common requests is to be able to lie down in the sauna. The best model for this is the 6-8 Person Sauna, with an internal length of 2.2m, even allows taller people to lie fully outstretched. Check out our review on sauna sizes to find out more!
