Saunaus is the brainchild of Matt and Rhylka Hill, following a life-changing family trip to Japan where they discovered the rejuvenating effects of hot and cold therapy. As a couple passionate about health and wellbeing, Matt and Rhylka saw an opportunity to bring the transformative benefits of hot and cold therapy to the lllawarra.

The benefits of hot and cold therapy

The ancient practice of transitioning from one extreme temperature to another can unleash a range of health and wellness benefits*:

  • Improved circulation

  • Reduced muscle soreness

  • Enhanced immune function

  • Increased relaxation and stress relief

  • Improved skin health

  • Enhanced mental clarity and focus.

 The Saunaus difference

Saunaus stands apart from conventional saunas by offering a holistic wellness experience designed with accessibility and sustainability in mind. At the core of their services is a traditional Finnish sauna built from solid cedar timber with the space to accommodate up to 22 people. Visitors can combine their sauna experience with ice baths, cold showers, and massage chairs for the ultimate hot and cold therapy experience.

The community-focused approach at Saunaus ensures there is something for everyone, whether that’s a leisurely group session with family or friends, a quick session to unwind after work, or our weekly men’s and women’s only evenings.

Saunaus also offer an exclusive range of tea blends and beauty products from Heart N Soil.
