Booking for a friend/guest?

  • If you are booking for guests, please ensure you have booked them in.

  • Each guest will need to be individually "booked in". Purchasing credits is not the same as booking with them. You will need to purchase the number of credits you want to book for, then book with each credit.

How does the waitlist work?

  • Please check if a session is waitlisted before signing up. You will still be able to sign up for the session but may be on the waitlist until a space becomes available.

  • To be admitted to the waitlist you will have to purchase a drop-in session, this is non-refundable but can be used at another time if you do not get into the session off the waitlist.

  • Turn your notifications on so you are made aware of getting into the session from the waitlist. Alternatively you can check your status through your account on the Good Sauna website or app, which you create to book your session.

  • You can be notified up to 1 hour before the session starts.

Do you provide refunds?

  • We do not provide refunds.
