FAQ
Everything you need to know before you Float Away.
Bring the Float Away experience to your home or private property. We offer flexible private hire options from 3 to 6 hours, so you can choose what suits you best.
We take care of everything including delivery, setup, and pack-down, so all you need to do is relax. Our friendly team will be on-site for the duration of your booking to manage the fire, maintain temperature, and ensure everything runs smoothly.
If you have any questions or would like a personalised quote, we'd love to hear from you.
We keep things exclusively private. When you book with Float Away, the sauna is all yours (or your group's) for the full length of the session, no sharing with strangers, no set pop-up schedule to work around. Just you, your people, and the heat.
Event hires can take place on public property too, subject to council approval, see our events FAQ below for more.
Our sauna fits up to 6 people at a time. If your group is bigger, no worries, guests are welcome to rotate through during the hire period.
Delivery is included for all hires within Metro Adelaide (up to 10 km from the city).
For locations between 10 and 25 km from Adelaide, a small travel fee will apply.
For locations beyond 25 km, we generally charge a small fee per additional km. Please get in touch for a personalised quote.
We keep things fair and transparent, so you can enjoy your Float Away experience without any surprises. Just tell us your location when enquiring and we'll handle the rest.
You can book directly online or reach out to us via email or phone. We recommend booking at least a week or two ahead where possible, especially for weekends, as our calendar fills up quickly.
That said, always feel free to check in, we'll do our best to accommodate last-minute requests.
There's no deposit needed to lock in your booking. Full payment is simply required at least 24 hours prior to your session, giving you plenty of time to sort it before we arrive.
You can pay through our online booking system, or by bank transfer if you're booking directly with us.
Yes. Float Away gift cards make a great present for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because. You can purchase one online through our booking portal, or get in touch and we can arrange one for you.
Our sauna runs rain or shine, the heat inside stays just as good no matter what's happening outside.
In the case of genuinely unsafe weather (extreme wind or storm conditions), we'll be in touch to discuss rescheduling. Your safety and our team's safety always come first.
As we're a mobile sauna set up at your home or venue, bathroom and shower access depends on your location. If you're hiring us for your own property, you'll have full access to your own facilities. For events at a venue or public space, we recommend checking what's available nearby.
Our biggest recommendation? Leave your phone inside and just be present. If you want to capture the moment though, our team is always happy to snap a photo of you and your group, just say the word.
Absolutely! The Float Away sauna is perfect for birthdays, hens parties, corporate wellness days, and retreats. Whether you're treating your team or celebrating with friends, we'll work with you to make sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
If you're planning an event in a public location, such as a beach, park, forest, or other outdoor space, we may need to obtain council approval and any required permits before your booking can go ahead. As these approvals can take time and may incur additional fees, we recommend getting in touch as early as possible so we can discuss your plans and allow enough time to organise everything.

Preparing For Your Session
Our team arrives around an hour early to set up and get the sauna to temperature, we'll let you know once it's ready to go.
A few things to keep in mind:
Shower beforehand and skip fragrances, we keep the sauna free from chemicals and irritants
Avoid the sauna if you've had a spray tan or hair dye within the last 7 days (reds and browns can stain the wood)
All guests need to complete a waiver before their session
What's included, and what to bring
Your hire includes delivery, setup, pack-down, a dedicated team member on-site throughout, and 6 freshly laundered towels (extra towels available for $4 each, just ask in advance).
We recommend having bathers on hand for the sauna, plus water and electrolytes to stay hydrated before, during, and after.
Health and Safety
Who can use the sauna
Check with your doctor first if you're pregnant or have an underlying health condition, high blood pressure, or heart disease
Children under 12 are not permitted, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult
We ask for zero alcohol or drug use, our team may refuse entry if needed
Sauna use is at your own risk, so we ask everyone to sign our waiver before their session begins
During your session
Our saunas generally run up to 85°C.
Please listen to your body throughout your session, step out and rest if you feel lightheaded or unwell, and ensure you hydrate before, during, and after your session.
Setup & Safety Requirements
We work within CFS guidelines and SA regulations to keep every setup safe. We require:
A level space at least 3 x 4 metres (our trailer has stabiliser legs for uneven ground)
Driveway or garden access to the setup area
4 metres of height clearance from trees, buildings, and other overhead obstructions (the sauna stands around 3.4m tall)
Private property only, unless council approval has been arranged
Unsure if your space works? Just reach out.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
We understand plans change. Here's how our cancellation policy works:
More than 48 hours before your session: full refund, or a credit toward a future booking if you'd rather rebook.
24 to 48 hours before your session: we'll offer a credit toward a future booking.
Less than 24 hours before your session: unfortunately we're unable to offer a refund or credit, as it's too late for us to reallocate that time.
Just get in touch with us as early as you can if something comes up, and we'll sort it out from there.
