Pick one or several — each number is how many places here offer it.
Infrared sauna and ice bath on Dunsborough Lakes Drive, booked by the session. Straightforward heat and cold with none of the day-spa framing, which is the appeal.
A wood-fired Finnish sauna on wheels, run by a Finnish and German couple, moving around the Margaret River area with cold plunge and breathwork sessions. Wood-fired rather than electric, which is a different heat and the reason people seek it out.
A recovery room in the middle of town with both saunas — traditional Finnish and infrared — alongside a hot plunge and an ice bath. Massage is booked separately. Being on Bussell Highway makes it the one you can walk to rather than drive to.
A mobile sauna parked at the Rivermouth carpark, so the cold plunge is the Indian Ocean rather than a tub. Sweat, walk down, get in, repeat. Check the schedule before driving out — it moves.
A Belarusian banya on Browns Road, Pemberton, run the traditional way: steam, veniki — bundles of leafy branches worked over the skin — a cold plunge and Ivan tea. Social sessions run on set dates, at sunset or paired with lunch or dinner from the Belarusian kitchen on site, from $70 an adult. Private banya runs any day by appointment. Booking is essential, and deposits are not refunded.

Most relevant means practices that specialise in this first, then the ones with the most reviews to go on. A listing that publishes its price, describes itself and names its services gets a small nudge, never more than a quarter of a star, because you can decide on it without ringing. Paid placements are shown once, in their own band, and never move anyone up the list.
The guide
The biggest difference between them is whether you share. Some sessions are communal, with a group in the same sauna and pools at a set time, often for a flat hour; others are booked as a private room for one or two people, and a few places can be hired outright for a group. Each listing says which where the place publishes it.
Where a session price is published, a sauna-and-plunge block starts at about $25 for thirty minutes and an hour runs about $35 to $45, with cheaper early-morning sessions at some rooms and packs or memberships at most. Each place sets its own prices and they change, so check before you go.
Swimwear is required at communal bathhouses, towels and change rooms vary, and some places set a minimum age. Oria Haven is a directory, not a health service. If you have a health concern, or you're pregnant or unsure, speak with your GP or a registered practitioner before you book.

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.

It captures the setting and the whole hot–cold ritual — including the dive that deserves a word of caution.

Where it's published, a sauna-and-cold-plunge session starts at about $25 for thirty minutes and runs to about $45 for a private hour, with cheaper early-morning sessions at some rooms and packs or memberships at most.

Yes, at several places. Some rooms are booked for one person or a pair, and a few can be hired outright for a group; others run communal sessions at set times. The listing says which where the place publishes it.
Usually swimwear, which is required at communal bathhouses. Showers, towels and change rooms are common but not universal, so check the place's own website before your first visit.
Most places on this page pair the plunge with a sauna. The ones set up for alternating the two in one session are also listed under Ice bath & sauna together (contrast therapy).
