Coastal Hearth Sauna Works

Hi, I'm planning a six-person wood-fired cabin outside Adelaide. Do you build interstate?

We do. For SA projects we usually ship the shell and coordinate local install.

Can you quote with bench timber, ventilation and heater clearances included?

Yes. I'll send a staged estimate and a compliance checklist.

Received, thanks. I'll compare it with my council notes and come back to you.

News from the movement

Where your dues go

Every dollar goes back into the movement.

We're a not-for-profit. Membership funds the work that grows and protects sauna culture in Australia, and we report it back to members at our AGM.

The infrastructure

The national sauna map, the jobs and expert networks, the resource library, and the forums you use.

Advocacy & access

Our work with councils, insurers, and building codes to make sauna easier to build, run, and reach.

Events & research

Webinars, gatherings like The Big Sweat, and funding research into sauna's health benefits.

And we give back. We donate a minimum of 3% of gross revenue to Sauna Aid, getting sauna relief to communities in crisis. It's a floor, not a ceiling, and we report it. Read our governance and transparency →
