Why Are Saunas in Australia So Wildly Overpriced? (And How We Fixed It)

Why Are Saunas in Australia So Wildly Overpriced? (And How We Fixed It)

Saunas in Australia are expensive. Like, "sell a kidney and hope you get a good price on Facebook Marketplace" kind of expensive. You’d think you were buying beachfront property in Byron Bay, not a glorified hot box. And for what? An imported unit that costs as much as a new ute and still doesn’t get hot enough to melt a Tim Tam.

What’s the Deal with the Sauna Price Tag?

Let’s break it down. Somewhere along the way, the sauna industry decided to slap on a "luxury lifestyle" tax. You’re not just paying for a sauna; you’re paying for the marketing, the branding, and possibly someone’s yacht in the Mediterranean. It’s outrageous.

We’ve all seen those sleek Finnish saunas that promise to "transform your life" for the low, low price of $15,000. Add shipping to Australia and the cost of installation, and suddenly you’re contemplating if a lifetime of cold showers is the better option. Spoiler alert: it’s not.

Why Should Only the Wealthy Sweat?

Saunas are meant to be a space for relaxation, recovery, and sweating out that third helping of pavlova. But when they cost as much as a small house deposit, they’re just another thing priced out of reach for the average Aussie.

This got us thinking: Why should saunas be an overpriced luxury? And why isn’t there an option that’s practical, portable, and doesn’t make your bank account cry?

  • Affordable Pricing: No inflated price tags here. We’ve cut out the middlemen and the marketing fluff to deliver a sauna that’s worth every cent.

  • Traditional Heat: No gimmicks, no fancy buttons, just a good old-fashioned woodfired stove that gets as hot as your barbecue on Australia Day.
