A wellbeing experience in the wild.

We are Laura and Joe, a Cumbrian couple who love being active and getting out into nature. Whilst living in Wānaka, New Zealand, we immersed ourself into the lifestyle that prioritised adventure and would fondly refer to the place as “one big playground”.

It was during a winter season in Wānaka that I (Laura) first came across mobile saunas. I was already into wild swimming, and loved the mental challenge of the cold immersion but secretly hated not being able to warm up again afterwards. So when I was invited to try a wood-fired sauna on the lake shore after a day of skiing, I was completely blown away and the idea of building one for the Lake District was planted.

In the summer of 2024, we worked hard to create our first little sauna on wheels. We had no idea whether our little corner of the world would embrace sauna culture or not, but we have been so fortunate to build up an amazing customer base made up of regulars and visitors to the Lakes alike.

At some point in January 2025, we floated the idea of a second build and decided to ride the wave of excitement and commit. My aim with this build was to incorporate all of the good bits of our first one, and emphasise them! We have one massive window, and a huge burner. There is also room for me to join in some sessions as I hope to learn some of the traditional sauna rituals from the continent… watch this space!

We hope that you come and visit one, or both, of our saunas soon.
