What we considered
We considered whether the ice bath or plunge is a bookable session in its own right, whether a sauna sits alongside for contrast, private versus shared rooms, session length, a published price, a first-timer option, and how clearly the venue explains booking and what to bring. We give no guidance on how long to stay in; the venue will.
Best Of guides are editorial. No practice paid to appear here; paid placements on Oria Haven are always labelled Featured.

Before you go
Dedicated recovery centres in Wembley, Jolimont and Stirling, bathhouses in Osborne Park and Subiaco, and studios in Beldon and Willetton, all listed in this guide. Several day spas and gyms also have one; the directory lists them under Ice bath & cold plunge.
Entry-level sessions in this guide run $25 to $45, with day passes and memberships above that. Each pick shows the price and the month we checked it.
Yes — most of the picks here pair the two. Reclab, Ember Bath House, Löyly, Melt and Zen Zone all put a sauna next to the plunge so you can alternate.
Venues here take first-timers and will talk you through it; Recovery Lab in Jolimont runs a ten-day intro. Cold-water immersion is not for everyone, though — if you have a medical condition or are unsure, seek professional medical advice first.
Swimwear, a towel unless the venue provides one, thongs and a water bottle. Most rooms have showers and change rooms; the listing says which.
Bookings run 30 to 60 minutes and cover the sauna, the plunge and the rest between. The time in the cold itself is short, and the venue will guide you.

About the Reel
The Reel, from Australia’s South West, introduces the floating sauna at Pemberton Pool: two wood-fired sauna rooms on the water with big windows onto the karri forest, and the ritual its caption describes — warm up, step outside into the pool, and repeat.
