The Sauna Haus is situated at the back of our 1 acre property. It is perfect for couples wanting to retreat from the world whilst being a short 5 min. drive from Bowral and surrounding attractions including vineyards and golf clubs.
The open plan, light filled, spacious studio apartment has a cosy, comfortable and serene feel with lovely views. A delightful space to relax and unwind with stylish modern decor with simple Scandinavian designs inspired by nature and the climate of the region.
We have intentionally made the space ‘tv free’. Bring that book you have been wanting to read or reduce your stress levels by starting something creative like colouring mandalas.
Free high quality Wifi available.
There is a wood fireplace for winter warmth during April-September. Firewood is supplied.
The main bed in the studio is a Queen bed from Koala and the sofa bed, also from Koala, is a double.
The cottage is well appointed with all necessities.
Fancy a sauna? There is a large bathroom with an infrared sauna. Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use heat and light technology to warm your body directly. This technology provides extensive health benefits, including relieving pain, increased circulation, skin purification, and muscle relaxation. Deep tissue stimulation also improves cell health and tissue growth, helping you live a healthier life.
A young friendly Schnoodle lives here (hypoallergenic). Feel free to let us know if you're not dog- lovers.
This property has a dedicated dog enclosure. DOG OWNERS PLS NOTE....We welcome well-behaved small to medium dogs that are non to low shedding. If in doubt, pls check with us about your breed / size of dog. The pet fee is $25. Please include in your booking that you are bringing a pet.

Lovely spot, spotless and very relaxing environment.
Comfortable beds, hot shower, close to town. Garage was a bonus for us with the heavy rain which meant we could keep our car and things dry before the next leg of the trip.

A stunning retreat. Spent 5 nights here for the perfect wind-down and relaxing break. All within 5 mins of Bowral's great restaurants, cafes, markets and shopping.
We had a wonderful family Christmas stay at Sauna Haus. The home was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, with plenty of space in the living area.The location was great, just a short drive into Bowral township, with lots of nature around and a dedicated run area for our pooch, which we really appreciated. Check‑in was smooth and well‑explained, so we felt settled in straight away.Natascha was responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything easy. We would happily stay again and highly recommend Sauna Haus to anyone looking for a relaxing Christmas break in the Southern Highlands.
Beautifully decorated, clean and spacious gorgeous place. Sauna was perfect. The owners put their heart and soul to this place and it shows. Thank you - we hope to visit again soon :)

Glad to hear you had a good stay Grace. Maybe until next time.
I had a lovely short stay at the Sauna Haus. It is beautifully styled in the Scandi style. The log fire was nice on a cool evening and the added bonus of the Infra red sauna inside the house was great. It is in a peaceful location and conveniently near enough to the main part of Bowral . The property owners were friendly and there to greet on arrival . I can definitely recommend this as a lovely place to stay when visiting Bowral .

Thanks for the review Deborah. You were ideal guests and we look forward to hosting you again later this year.
We absolutely loved staying here, making use of the gorgeous fireplace, comfy sofa and bed and of course the infra red sauna! Added bonus that our greyhound was able to stay with us and enjoy this beautiful part of Australia.
The sauna was amazing and such a luxury. Beautiful and clean and very peaceful.
