General and Medical Information

You must not use our facilities if you are pregnant, have heart conditions, respiratory disease, low blood pressure, or any other medical condition that may be affected by heat exposure, or if you are currently under medical care. This includes a history of dizziness or fainting, and the presence of any metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or surgical implants, including silicone.

By booking, you confirm that you have considered your personal health circumstances and, where appropriate, consulted a medical professional prior to participating. You accept full responsibility for your own health and wellbeing.

Any person using the sauna assumes full responsibility for their medical condition, including any medications they may be taking that could result in a medical emergency or unsafe condition. All guests must be aware of their personal limits and accept all risks associated with activities at Phillip Island Sauna.

We recommend drinking plenty of water before and after your sauna session and avoiding food for at least one to two hours beforehand to reduce the risk of discomfort.

 

Reducing the Risk of Overheating and Scalding

Our saunas operate at varying temperatures. Our wood-fired sauna typically runs between 80–95 degrees Celsius, with fluctuating humidity levels.

Prolonged exposure may cause overheating. Guests are encouraged to limit sauna use to intervals of maximum fifteen (15) minutes and to listen carefully to their body. Exit the sauna immediately if you feel nauseous, uncomfortable, dizzy, light-headed, or sleepy.

Do not use the sauna if you have recently consumed alcohol, drugs, or medications that may impair judgement or physical response. Use of the sauna is at your own risk.

Avoid direct contact with sauna rocks, steam outlets, or heaters, as they may cause serious injury. Metal items retain heat and are not recommended during sauna sessions.

 

Reducing the Risk of Slipping and Falling

Use caution when entering or exiting the sauna. Floors may be wet or slippery, and surrounding ground surfaces may be uneven as our saunas are located outdoors. Appropriate footwear is recommended at all times.

Chairs provided outside the sauna are for convenience and relaxation. Guests use these at their own risk.

 

Allergies

Our saunas are constructed using aromatic cedar and cypress. Guests with sensitivities or allergies use the facilities at their own risk. Exit the sauna immediately if you experience any adverse or allergic reaction, including difficulty breathing or irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat.
