Frequently Asked Questions

  • Harnon is more than a sauna.
    It’s a destination, an experience, and the people who come together in it.

    We sauna to connect, to reset, and to slow down — often at the end of a cool winter’s day, as the light fades and the air sharpens.

    Tasmania’s climate gives us the perfect canvas —
    mild summers, crisp blue-sky winters, and water that calls you in.

    At the centre of it all is our custom-built sauna trailer —
    designed for heat, rest, and everything in between.
    Hot room, change room, chillout zone… even a cheeky fernery.

    This isn’t just about sitting in heat.
    It’s the full experience.

    Now we sauna.

  • Harnon’s winter location is at Long Beach, Sandy Bay from June until the end of October 2026.

    Subscribe to emails (via the field at the bottom of this page) or follow us on social media to receive updates regarding future locations.

  • A guided session is a hosted sauna experience. We’re there to help you use the space safely, get the most out of it, and feel comfortable the whole way through — especially if it’s your first time.

    At Harnon, we do things a little differently.
    Call it the Tassie sauna experience.

    For us, the hot room is just one part of the ritual —
    heat, cold, and rest.

    Sauna the verb, not the noun.

    We strongly recommend your first session is guided.
    We’ll walk you through what to do, and why it matters.

    You might be a sauna veteran —
    but you haven’t had one like this.

    It’s not mandatory.
    But it’s the best way to feel it properly — and the reason people come back.

  • A good attitude
    No muppets — it’s a safe space. We’re all friends here.

    Water bottle
    Filtered drinking water is provided, but bring your own vessel. Silicone is your friend in the hot room — stainless gets very hot, and plastic… well, yeah.
    Note: Drink bottles and cold drinks available to purchase onsite.

    Two towels
    One to dry yourself, and a smaller one to sit on.
    Note: Bench towels available for hire if needed and larger towels are also available to purchase onsite.

    Swimwear
    Bathers, togs, budgie smugglers — your call. Public space rules apply.
    Natural fibres are best if you have the option — synthetics like nylon and Lycra don’t love the heat.

    Footwear
    Thongs, sandals… even Crocs if you must. There’s a short stroll to the beach, and proper footwear helps keep the sand outside.

    Warm clothing
    For after your session, or you may wish to have something for sitting out between sessions.

    No alcohol
    Sauna and alcohol don’t mix. If you’ve had a few, give it a miss.

    Note: Jewellery is best left at home — metal heats up fast, especially necklaces.

  • Handmade in Tasmania. Designed and built here, for here.
    Harnon is built around a more traditional and intentional sauna experience — combining wood-fired heat, cold water, rest, and guided sessions beside the ocean. Built slowly, deliberately, and with purpose, every detail of the hot room has been shaped around three fundamentals: heat, steam, and ventilation.

    While many sauna experiences are simply self-led bookings, Harnon places a strong focus on guidance, atmosphere, and helping people settle into the rhythm of sauna. A dark, calming space. Tasmanian materials. A story in every detail.

    No imported kit — just a proper sauna, built by hand for Tasmanian winters and the people who live through them.

    About as good as it gets.

  • We offer three session types. All are 75 minutes — plenty of time for a few solid rounds of heat, cold, and rest, with a little extra left to get changed before and after your session.

    The Guided
    The best place to start.
    Whether you’re new or experienced, this is your introduction to Harnon. We’ll walk you through our southern take on a centuries-old tradition rooted in the north.
    Hear the story, and understand what it’s all about.

    The Collective
    Book a spot for yourself, or come with friends.
    Reserve one or more places and enjoy a shared session in a small, welcoming group.

    The Private
    Book the whole sauna and bring your people.
    Settle into the heat together, move at your own pace, and enjoy the space exclusively.
