Hey there, we're Rhys and Adriana!

We’ve been lucky enough to call Townsville home for over a decade now. The ocean, the community, and the coastal vibe have always kept us grounded, and for us, the sauna has been a place to recharge after life's ups and downs. Whether it’s juggling work, family, or just the daily hustle, we’ve found that nothing quite beats the feeling of stepping out of a sauna and taking a cool plunge. It’s a simple pleasure, but one that brings us back to the basics of what matters.

Starting The Local Sauna wasn’t just about bringing contrast therapy to Townsville; it’s about creating a space where people can unwind, connect, and let go—just like we do. We wanted to share something with our community that has made a real difference in our lives. Instead of opening a typical shopfront, we wanted to make this experience accessible to everyone—something that encourages you to give it a try and discover how it can fit into your lifestyle.

If you’ve ever felt unsure or out of place in a sauna—trust us, we get it. We’ve been there too. But we’re here to help you discover what the sauna can really do for you. It’s not just about the heat or the sweat; it’s about taking a break from the world outside and giving yourself permission to just be for a while. Our team is here to guide you if you need it or leave you to relax if that’s more your style.

This little venture of ours has been such a fun journey, and we’re excited to share it with you. Whether you’re popping by after work, coming with friends, or just looking for a moment of peace, we’ve got a warm spot waiting for you.

We're excited to welcome you.
Stay warm, friends.

Rhys and Adi :)
