We genuinely thought it was going to snap in half. š³
Early Tuesday morning, our sauna pontoon was lifted into the air- and for two long minutes, all we could do was watch as it swung over the water.
Nervous was an understatement⦠but once it finally touched down, we could breathe again.š®āšØ
š„ Weāre so excited to bring the South Coastās first floating sauna to Shellharbour Marina.š„
āØThis is just the beginning.
Follow along so you donāt miss part two!

Hi šš¼
Weāre Jonas and Vienna ā the people behind Shell Coveās new floating sauna š„
Originally from Norway (Jonas) and New Zealand (Vienna), weāve been dreaming about this for a while and weāre so excited to bring the South Coastās first floating sauna to life.
A few things to know:
ā Our sauna is a traditional sauna ā tip water on the rocks, enjoy the steam, and soak up the atmosphere š„
ā Weāve lined the interior with Western Red Cedar ā aromatic, beautiful, and perfect for the ultimate sauna experience š¤š¼
ā Two types of sessions: ⢠Private sessions for up to 8 friends ⢠Social sessions where you can book a single seat and meet other sauna lovers (max 6)
(Both sessions last 1 hour)
ā You can enjoy hot & cold therapy with our shower bucket, hand shower, or a dip in the netted pool between sauna stints
Weāre so excited to bring something new to the area and community, and we canāt wait for you to try it!
Thank you so much for all the love and positive feedback so far ā reading your messages has been the best part of this journey. We canāt wait to welcome you soon.
See you at the sauna āØ
