Elsewhere Sauna is a mobile healing space designed to experience the properties and elemental atmosphere within the wood-fired sauna, alongside the cool respite of partnering with local water bodies in the region of nipaluna/Hobart. Sunday sauna bookings are open in the south, past Cygnet - with Drip Beach as our resident body of salt water. Coming to Taroona Beach in 2025. We offer hour-long sauna capped at 5 people per session, guests may purchase a singular spot and welcome a mix of fellow guests or book all five spots if you wish for a private experience. We’ll feed the fire and provide herbal tea and body scrub. Please prepare your body as hydrated and bring water to keep yourself fluid, a robe, a towel, a towel for sitting on, and your good body! This is an open invitation to you and those you hold dear... We thank the people who have kept these traditions alive.

Soups and stews are a wonderful addition to any culinary repertoire. Italian soups are not only healthy and full of flavour but there is that extra something special that Italians do so well! This class will include traditional minestrone, risotto, greens with pork, beef spezzatino (like a stew) and zuppa di lenticchie (a soup make of lentils).
