In a nutshell, we’re a boutique wellness haven that blends recovery and relaxation for both body and mind. Our space features a communal area and two private rooms, each offering infrared saunas, cold plunges, and a soothing hot spa. Designed for those who seek a moment of peace, it’s the perfect place to switch off, be present, and truly unwind.

As we’re located at 15 Rose Street, Essendon - Parking is available on Rose St, though it can fill up quickly thanks to the many great cafés near Soma. You’ll also find parking at the train station and along nearby streets like Flower St, Miller St, and Buckley St. If you're driving, we recommend allowing some extra time to find a spot so your journey here stays relaxed and stress-free.

Unfortunately not, everything at Soma needs to be booked online in advance. Lucky we have a fantastic booking system on our website.. right here.

At Soma Bathhouse, we have a 9-hour cancellation policy. You're welcome to reschedule your booking to another day or time as long as it's done more than 9 hours before your session. If you cancel within that 9-hour window, your session will be marked as a “late cancellation” and deducted accordingly.

A "no show" is also treated as a late cancellation, meaning your session will be forfeited if you don’t attend.

To reschedule, simply use the link in your original booking email.

We recommend wearing bathers and bringing a towel. If you forget, that’s okay too because our trusty staff at reception have them on hand for a hire fee of $10.00

Along with your bathers and towel, it is recommended to also bring a water bottle to keep you hydrated during your recovery session. We have filtered water on site for whenever you need.

If you don't have a towel, you can hire one for $10.

Unfortunately, no. Our saunas and hot spa raise core body temperature, which can be unsafe and potentially harmful to the fetus. For this reason, we recommend avoiding these services during pregnancy.

Yes you can bring an extra person into your private session for $15. You can pay online when you book.

You must be at least 17 years of age or over to use the Bathhouse. If you are under the age of 17 years (a “Minor”), you must be accompanied by a guardian at all times (ages, 15 & 16). All guardians are required to pay for the Bathhouse entry and are responsible for Minors in their care at all times. To use the Bathhouse, Minors must be over the age of 15. This is both for the safety of the Children and the patrons enjoying the Bathhouse. We reserve the right to restrict access and refuse entry to Minors and and minors under the ages of 15 to the Bathhouse.

Before bathing we definitely advise to have a rinse shower. This will rinse away any make up or sweat before stepping into the sauna or bathing in the spa. After is very much up to you.
