The Off-Grid Sauna Experience
Our Wood Fired Vista Barrel Sauna offers an unparalleled experience. Enjoy a more unique type of heat and higher temperatures than traditional electric heaters, while basking in the warm, rustic ambiance of a crackling fire – all while saving significantly on your energy bills.
Sauna Anywhere You Want!
Our awesome wood burners have eliminated the need to have a high-amp line installed to operate the Sauna, meaning you can place it absolutely anywhere you like. This facilitates some amazing off-grid options like holiday homes, while also taking the hassle out of Sauna installation.
Crank Up The Heat Scandinavian Style
Our 20kW Wood Burners are incredibly powerful, capable of reaching temperature in excess of 100°C. Feel the difference as the blazing fire from a wood burner offers a drier, more intense heat.
Real Impurity Free Sauna Stones
Our Olivine Sauna stones are another gamechanger for our Vista Wood Fired Barrel Sauna. The round shape, increased quantity and impurity free nature of the stones help create what the Fin’s describe as Löyly – the rejuvenating soft steam that is returned from dousing the stones with water.
Feel the Intensity of Wood-Fired Heat
Our natural wood burners create an intense, immersive heat that surrounds you, offering an authentic sauna experience. The crackling fire and radiant warmth penetrate deeply, while the scents of the fire and heated cedar enhance the sensory escape.
Why Choose Cedar Over Other Materials?
We strictly use Certified Canadian Rustic Cedar for our range of traditional Saunas due to their long list of appealing properties. Not only does our Cedar look better in your backyard, it carries a range of natural resistances and benefits that make your choice of timber an easy one..
A Natural Insulator
Cedar’s insulative properties significantly outweigh those of other materials which results in a Sauna that heats up faster and more efficient in retaining heat. Spend less time topping up your wood burner and more time relaxing.
Which Wood Lasts Longer?
Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, rot, and decay, making it perfect for saunas. Unlike other timbers that absorb moisture and warp, cedar maintains its integrity. Its natural oils also have antimicrobial properties, helping prevent decay and deter pests. These qualities make cedar the ideal choice for an outdoor sauna that will withstand the elements for years.
The Cedar Experience
The natural scent of warmed wood can be an enticing feature for Sauna users. Cedar offers a distinctive and pleasant aroma which many Sauna enthusiasts appreciate, while other materials such as pine often release a resin type odor when heated. Our cedar also contributes to natural air purification due to Cedar’s inherent antimicrobial properties.
Safe, Efficient, And Built To Last
Experience the perfect blend of efficiency and durability with our premium wood burner. Designed for reliable performance, it features a safety flue for peace of mind and a tempered glass door for lasting strength and style.
A Durable & Efficient Wood Burner
Our engineers have designed a wood burner that delivers a more efficient burn, ensuring heat is distributed more evenly than other options on the market. This new wood burner design features 2.5mm steel which has been vigorously tested to ensure it’s incredibly durable and designed to last.
Flue Safeguard
We’ve taken every step possible to minimise the risk of burn from the flue which carries smoke outside your Wood Fired Sauna. The flue is constructed with dense steel, allowing for a double-wall design that effectively traps heat working alongside a robust steel SafeGuard providing a protective no-touch barrier.
Panoramic Glass Window
The inclusion of a tempered safety glass window opens up some incredible opportunities to enjoy your sauna with a view. With tempered glass being both physically and thermally stronger than that of standard glass you can rest assured this window is safe and will stand the test of time through thousands of sauna sessions.
Tempered Glass Door
With tempered glass, you can be sure that your door won’t shatter or break in high temperatures, or when you’re opening and closing it.

Give it a glow
Health benefits that make it worth your time.
Relaxation & Sleep
The most immediate relief the sauna offers is simple relaxation as it melts away the stresses and tensions of everyday life. You’ll feel rejuvenated and renewed, restored in both body and mind.
Glowing Complexion
The sweating achieved after a few minutes in a sauna carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and immaculately clean. It stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste.
Muscle Recovery
Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles so they recover faster. Regular Sauna use is also believed to assist with relieving joint pain and stiffness, offering respite from many muscular-skeletal ailments such as sprained joints, neuraligia, and bursitis.
Don’t just take our word for it!
Leading athletes and sports specialists use Alpine Saunas to take their performance and recovery to the next level.
Jane Watson
Elite Netballer, Jane Watson, believes regular sauna use is a game changer when it comes to physical recovery as well as total relaxation.
“My training is frequent and can get very full-on. I really notice the difference if I have a particularly hard training day and skip my sauna session afterward, I’m definitely more fatigued the next day, says Watson.
Dave Wood
Dave Wood is a movement and breathing specialist who works with elite athletes to enhance their recovery, endurance, and ability to remain calm under pressure.
Through his training of top athletes, he’s found regular sauna use to improve cardiovascular health, improve brain function, and provide mental resilience as well as stress management.
Wood says after you begin sweating in the sauna, your cardiovascular system engages, and the heart rate rises to facilitate expanded blood vessels. “At this stage of your sauna session, the body begins to harvest all of the benefits of actual exercise except you are passively sitting in relaxation,” says Wood.
