Welcome to AUN

Tucked into the heart of North Melbourne, AUN Bathhouse is a local sanctuary built for the everyday reset.
Drawing on Japanese bathing tradition and reimagined for Australian life —
it’s a considered space to soak, sweat, plunge and breathe, minutes from home.

The name AUN comes from the middle letters of sauna —
the centre point where opposites meet: heat and cold, effort and rest, inhale and exhale.
It’s also drawn from the Japanese concept of 阿吽 (A-Un),
the first breath in and the final breath out — the complete cycle of presence and renewal.

We built AUN for our neighbours. Come as you are, leave a little lighter.

The Journey

Heat. To open. Cold. To awaken. Rest. To restore. Breathe. To return.

There is a moment — between exhale and inhale — where everything is at rest.

Sauna (80–90 Degrees)

Designed to open the body and quiet the mind. Settle in, breathe deeply, and let the warmth do its work — loosening tension, easing the nervous system, and preparing you for the contrast ahead. Three-level benches let you choose your heat, with temperature rising the higher you sit. A wood-fired stove crackles quietly in the background, and automatic löyly fills the room with steam and the aroma of Western red cedar. Rounds are self-paced. There’s no rush here — take as many as you need.

Hot Bath (40–41 Degrees)

A deep, grounding soak to start or end your session. The hot bath softens the body and settles the mind, easing you into the rhythm of the space before you move between heat and cold. Inspired by Japanese sento, our hot bath runs warmer than your typical hot tub — closer to the temperature you’d find in a traditional sento or onsen in Japan. Step in, and the warmth hits you immediately.

Cold Plunge (15–16 Degrees)

The awakening moment. A short, sharp immersion that activates circulation, sharpens focus and leaves you feeling genuinely alert. It’s brief by design — a moment of contrast that makes the warmth that follows feel even deeper. Unlike your typical ice bath, we offer a comfortable temperature that’s still bracing enough to wake you up, without the shock that puts people off.

Resting Beds (Air Bath)

The quiet heart of AUN. Between rounds of heat and cold, this is where you rest, hydrate and reconnect — comfortable reclined seating, a hush that invites you to simply be still for a while. The highlight of the space: full flat benches where you can stretch out and breathe — like sleeping on a cloud. Soft natural light and a gentle breeze overhead complete the sense of calm.

A Space Built Around Balance

Every space at AUN plays its part in the same journey — heat, cold, rest and breathe. All in a 70-minute session, with regular events and guided tours also on offer. Here’s what to expect.

Four spaces guide the 70-minute journey: heat, soak, cold, then rest. Move at your own pace and repeat what feels good.

Three-level benches let you choose your heat, with temperature rising the higher you sit. A wood-fired stove crackles quietly in the background, and automatic löyly (water poured over hot stones) fills the room with steam and the aroma of Western red cedar.

Rounds are self-paced. There’s no rush here — take as many as you need.

Mineral Hot Bath (39 Degrees)

A deep, grounding soak to start your session. The hot bath softens the body and settles the mind, easing you into the rhythm of the space before you move between heat and cold. Inspired by Japanese sento, our hot mineral salt bath runs warmer than your typical hot tub. Step in, and the warmth hits you immediately.

Cold Plunge (16.5 Degrees) 

The awakening moment. A short, sharp immersion that activates circulation, sharpens focus and leaves you feeling genuinely alert. It’s brief by design — a moment of contrast that makes the warmth that follows feel even deeper. Unlike your typical ice bath, we offer a comfortable temperature that’s still bracing enough to wake you up, without the shock that puts people off.

FAQ

Do I need to book in advance?

Booking in advance is required.* It helps us take care of you properly from the moment you arrive. * Founder members can enter without a booking.

Can I reschedule or cancel my booking?

Yes — you can reschedule or cancel your booking up to 24 hours before your scheduled session. Unfortunately, cancellations made within 24 hours of your booking are non-refundable.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes — we welcome walk-ins whenever space is available. However, to avoid disappointment, we recommend booking in advance.

What should I bring?

Swimwear is a must - please make sure to pack it before you arrive. We also recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated; there's a refill station in-house, and AUN original bottles are available if you need one. A towel is worth throwing in your bag too, though towel hire is available for a small fee if you forget.

Is this a traditional Japanese bathhouse (onsen)?

No — our change rooms are all-gender, and we require all guests to wear swimwear at all times. We emphasise modern Japanese sauna practices, and our baths are set to temperatures inspired by Japanese sento.

How early should I arrive?

Please arrive 5–10 minutes before your booking.

Can I use my phone?

Not in the changing rooms, but phones are welcome in certain areas. A quick photo for yourself is fine — just be mindful of those around you who are here to switch off.

Is there an age requirement?

Yes — guests must be at least 16 years old to enter the bathhouse. Guests aged 16–17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Are the changing rooms shared?

Yes — our change rooms are all-gender, with private cubicles available for your comfort.

What is the bathhouse etiquette?

To ensure everyone has a relaxing experience, we kindly ask all guests to: 1. Shower before entering the baths. 2. Keep conversations mindful — quiet voices are welcome unless you're joining a Quiet Mornings session. 3. Wear appropriate swimwear at all times. 4. Avoid using phones or taking photos in the bathhouse. 5. Stay hydrated and listen to your body. 6. Respect other guests and our shared spaces.
