About
Our story
Est. 2019 · Quay Street
Stillburn started as one small sauna on a borrowed pontoon. Neighbours kept turning up, so we kept building.
The bathhouse on Quay Street, 2026
Seven years on it is a full bathhouse on Quay Street, run by a team of four and used by a few hundred people who live within a short walk.

Our story
From one pontoon to a full house
2019
One sauna on a pontoon
Ravi builds a six seat cedar sauna on a borrowed pontoon and opens it to neighbours on Sundays.
2021
A permanent home
We take over an old boat shed on Quay Street and rebuild it in cedar and stone.
2023
The cold pools
Two plunge pools and a rest room open, and the full circuit begins.
2026
Open every day
Thirty sessions a week, four guides and six hundred members from the neighbourhood.
Facilities
Three rooms and a tea bar
Small on purpose. Every room holds one group at a time, so it never feels busy.
24 seats · 90°
Cedar sauna
Three tiers of benches around a wood lined stove, with a window on the water.
Two pools · 3° and 8°
Cold pools
A colder pool for the brave and a gentler one for everyone else.
16 loungers · silent
Rest room
Robes, blankets and a long view of the harbour. No talking, no phones.

Tea bar
Herbal tea, water and fruit, included with every visit.
