Overview
The Nordhaus 4-6 Person Traditional Sauna is built from premium Canadian hemlock and powered by a 6kW electric heater, delivering the high, dry heat associated with traditional Finnish-style sauna bathing.
Dual-tier benches seat up to six people, with sauna stones included so you can pour water over them to generate steam (löyly) and adjust humidity during a session.
Canadian hemlock is widely used in sauna construction for its low resin content, resistance to warping under sustained heat, and light, tight grain.
Suited to households or shared spaces wanting a full-size, authentic traditional sauna with room for family or guests, supporting relaxation, circulation, and post-workout recovery.

FAQ
Everything you need to know before choosing your sauna. Still unsure? Call 0401 696 261 or email sales@nordhaus.com.au.
It reaches up to 90°C. A 6kW Harvia electric heater warms 20kg of sauna stones, which gives the high, dry heat of a traditional Finnish-style sauna. Pour water over the stones to add a burst of steam and lift the humidity.
The heater runs for up to 4 hours at a time and has a 1 to 8 hour preheat timer, so you can set it to be hot when you get home.
A traditional sauna heats the air. An electric heater warms sauna stones, the room climbs to as much as 90°C, and you can pour water on the stones for steam.
An infrared sauna heats your body directly with infrared panels, so the air stays cooler. Nordhaus full spectrum infrared saunas run between 30 and 75°C.
Choose traditional if you want high heat, steam and the classic sauna ritual. Choose infrared if you prefer a gentler heat at a lower temperature. Our sauna buying guide compares the two in detail.
The 6kW Harvia heater needs a dedicated 35 amp circuit, installed by a licensed electrician. The sauna is supplied ready for electrical installation, and your electrician completes the final connection, either a wall socket or hardwiring, to suit your home.
The cost of the electrical work depends on your switchboard and how far the cable has to run, so it is worth getting a quote from a local electrician before you order.
Yes. This is a traditional sauna, so pouring water on the hot stones is part of the experience. It comes with 20kg of Harvia sauna stones and a Finnish style bucket and ladle.
No drainage is needed. A drip tray is supplied with the heater, and the removable slatted timber floor sits over your existing floor.
The sauna measures 180cm wide x 150cm deep x 200cm high and seats four to six adults.
Allow around 200mm of extra clearance during assembly so the sauna can be positioned safely, and keep the intake and exhaust vents clear so air can circulate.
It is designed for indoor use, and it can also go under a patio or veranda or inside a garage where it is fully protected from the weather.
It should not sit out in the open. Water damage to an indoor model used outdoors is not covered by warranty. If you want a sauna for an exposed backyard, see our outdoor traditional saunas, which are built for it.
Yes. Our indoor saunas can be built into a wall or custom cavity for a seamless finish. Allow about 200mm of additional clearance so the sauna can be assembled and positioned, and make sure the cavity is ventilated with all sauna vents left unobstructed.
No. The sauna includes removable slatted timber flooring that sits over any existing floor, which makes cleaning easy. No drainage is required, as the heater has its own drip tray.
It arrives flat-packed in multiple boxes and is an easy DIY job for two people, taking approximately 90 minutes. The heater must then be connected by a licensed electrician.
Prefer it done for you? Our recommended partner offers professional assembly in selected areas, and you can check assembly pricing and availability online.
The cabin is built from Canadian Hemlock, a timber widely used in saunas because it is low in resin and stays stable under sustained heat. The front is 8mm tempered safety glass, lighting is a white LED strip, and ventilation is roof mounted with airflow holes in the glass panel.
Regular traditional sauna use is commonly associated with relaxation, stress relief, improved circulation and muscle recovery. Many owners use it as a daily ritual to switch off, and pair it with a cold plunge for contrast therapy at home.
Care is simple. Wipe the benches down after use and leave the door open so the cabin can air dry. The removable floor lifts out when you want to clean underneath.
For home use, the cabin and electrical components are covered for 5 years, the Harvia heater for 2 years, and the heater elements and accessories for 1 year. Commercial use is covered for 1 year. Full details are on our warranty page.

I’m so wrapped with my new 4-6 person traditional sauna - perfect build quality, so easy to assemble, so easy for my electrician to connect - heats up in minutes. Been in it every day for the last month! Can highly recommend!!! Thank you Nordhaus 🙏🙏
Very relaxing. So nice to have a private sauna at home to myself!
I am the happiest person in the world now I have my sauna, to put it together was so simple. I would and have recommended to many others, 5 stars!
Fantastic experience with the Nordhaus team from start to finish. The customer service was excellent, communication was easy, and the quality of our traditional sauna is outstanding. We’re extremely happy with our purchase and would highly recommend Nordhaus to anyone looking for a premium sauna
Excellent Quality and Great Service! I recently purchased a Nordhaus 2-3 persons indoor traditional sauna and finally got it fully installed and running. After doing a lot of thorough research, I actually ended up cancelling my initial purchase with a cheaper sauna brand and ordered this Nordhaus instead. Looking back, that was the best decision I could have made. The quality of the materials and the overall experience have been fantastic. The assembly took some time, but once it's up, it looks and works brilliantly. Dealing with the Nordhaus team has been smooth and professional from start to finish. Highly recommend them if you're looking for a premium home sauna setup!
We love our new sauna. Nordhaus have been great with delivery, set up and after sales support.
We recently installed this sauna at our home and couldn’t be happier with the result. The assembly process was surprisingly straightforward, with clear instructions that made installation easy from start to finish. The quality of the sauna is excellent, and it has quickly become one of our favourite additions to the house. What really stood out was the communication from the company throughout the entire process. They were responsive, helpful, and kept us informed every step of the way, making the whole experience stress-free. If you’re considering a home sauna, I would highly recommend this company. Great product, easy setup, and outstanding customer service.
Amazing sauna, I use most nights! It’s been so nice to have 30 mins in the late evening to just sit still and feel my muscles relax! ❤️
What an amazing sauna! This is one of the best I’ve ever used! If your looking for a reliable quality sauna look no further
We added a 3-person sauna to our ensuite to make use of some extra space, and it's been a great investment. We use it 3+ times a week, mainly for muscle recovery after workouts, and it's made a noticeable difference. We also love the two bench levels - the higher bench gets noticeably hotter than the lower one, which is great depending on how intense you want your session. The biggest surprise has been the sleep - when we do use the sauna before bed, it gives us some of the best nights of sleep we've had. If you have the room and are considering it, we'd absolutely recommend it - not just as a luxury, but as something that genuinely supports your health and wellness.
Great product, using it on a daily basis!
We love the new far infrared three person sauna. I use it every morning after my walk and my wife uses it most evenings after the kids are asleep. Temperature is perfect and heating time is good. Lights and Bluetooth are great. Set up is fairly straight forward, definitely a two person job. In short we are very happy and regret not purchasing earlier!
Absolutely love the Nordhaus traditional sauna, heats up quickly, holds temperature consistently, and just feels premium the moment you step in. It’s become a daily reset for me, proper sweat, clear head, and noticeably better recovery and sleep.
Beautiful Sauna. Harvia heater controls are easy to use but could have a more clear indication when the heater is either on or off.
Ordering process and communication with Nordhaus was absolutely seamless! I didn’t have time to set it up myself and the team at Nordhaus organised someone within 3 days of request Highly recommend, highly efficient, great product!
Arrived on time after a minor hiccup with delivery. John was very helpful in answering any questions and helping with questions the electrician had. Cannot fault the service. Sauna was simple to put together especially with the video to help. Used it for the last week happy with our purchase. Thanks John and Jeven
This Sauna was super simple to set up, looks very modern and feels super beneficial. The support team was very helpful and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this to anyone who’s looking to start their sauna journey.
Absolute amazing service from Nordhause from first enquiry to completion . A really great experience from a team that truly cares.
Very pleased with our new sauna. We went with the 4-6 person traditional sauna and couldn't be happier. Easy to assemble and heats much faster than expected. Nothing can beat the feeling of relaxation from the heat and steam combination. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Nordhaus 👍
We couldn’t be happier with our purchase! Nordhaus service was second to none and the bath is simply amazing. Beautifully designed, painfully cold (in a good way!)
Love it! Set up was simple enough and the more powerful heater makes all the difference. Heats up quick and simple to operate.
Love my new Nordhaus Sauna, super easy to setup, super cheap to run, wish I’d bought ages ago!
We absolutely love the sauna! My husband and I used to pay for sauna sessions 2–3 times a week, so having one at home has been a total game changer. It’s just so easy and convenient to use whenever we want, and it’s become a really important part of our routine. It’s been especially great for my husband’s mental health — having that time to unwind at home has made such a difference. We went with the steam heater option and honestly love it — we personally find it much better than infrared. It heats up well, feels amazing, and the whole setup process was super easy. The only thing we’d change would be having the ability to turn it on from our phones, but aside from that we couldn’t be happier with it!
I recently purchased my cold plunge from Nordhaus and couldn’t be happier with the experience. I did run into a small issue while setting up the chiller, but their team was incredibly helpful and responsive. They guided me through everything step-by-step until it was running perfectly. The customer service alone is top-tier, and the plunge itself looks absolutely elite — super clean and niche 👌🏽 Highly recommend Nordhaus to anyone looking to get into cold plunging. Thank you John & Jeven
Huge shoutout to Nordhaus. After so much research, I decided on their full spectrum infrared sauna. It was very important to me to choose a company that didn’t use toxic glues or materials. After tossing up between their traditional and infrared options, I’m so happy with my decision. It’s a huge part of my detox journey, and I love the research indicating improved longevity and overall health. The team were supportive with my decision, and the sales process was simple. I’ve been using it every day, and I love it. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality sauna.
Actually brought this for an ‘onsen’ hot tub experience rather than an ice bath. Quick delivery and great service from the Nordhaus team. Recommend the 2HP Pro unit as it can get up to temp (41C) in about 30-40mins from approx 23C. This is great for me as I don’t use everyday and don’t want it running all week and can spin up when needed. When getting up to temp the unit does make some noise but not too much - about what you’d expect from a similar sized aircon unit. Only point for improvement I can think of is the provided connecting hoses need to be longer to provide more flexibility in placement of the heating/cooling unit. Overall highly recommend if you are in the market for a hot/cold tub.
Love our icebath . Love the customer service at Nordhaus . Thankyou for the best recovery !!
Really enjoying both the ice bath and the sauna I’ve had an infrared sauna before however I do believe that the hot rock version is much better. It gets a lot harder and it also usually the option for the Steam great product reasonably priced.
Nordhaus Ice Bath - Matte Black - Oval + 4-6 Person Traditional Sauna
Absolutely loving my Sauna- it’s become a part of daily life and I can’t imagine not having it now!
Our NEW Sauna, we are ready for take off! Feeling relaxed and calm. Thank you Nordhaus.
Company is very professional and great to deal with. The product has been made well for the most part but there are a few items not quite as you would expect from photos. The front heaters have leads hanging down at the front which are not shown in any photos and are always exposed. The heaters themselves use folded stainless that can bend in very easily exposing a sharp edge. The external roof is made of 6mm MDF and very fragile and not really fit for purpose. Mine broke when unpacking and will be replacing it with a piece an formply. The unit was delayed 6 additional weeks from what I was originally advised.
I recently purchased the 4–6 person traditional sauna from Nordhaus and couldn’t be happier. Delivery was on time, the assembly was very straightforward, and the quality of the unit is excellent. It heats up well and looks great, overall a fantastic sauna and a great addition to the home. Highly recommend! 🔥🧖♂️
I absolutely friggin looove my new traditional sauna from Nordhaus. My preferred temperature is 85 degrees which the sauna can easily handle. Using the sauna has become a daily ritual for my wife and I and we feel fantastic as a result. The sauna itself feels like it is made from quality wood and materials and has a nice minimalist aesthetic that we like. The team at Nordhaus were super helpful in making arrangements for delivery and the set up process was fairly straightforward. I highly recommend Nordhaus' traditional saunas.
Great service and the ice bath is great. Easily one of the best looking ice baths on the market.
We use it everyday and the it’s become our family ritual of evening. Our bodies are sooooo greatful for it.
Loving this sauna from Nordhaus. Heats up really quick and the quality of materials is great. Instructions to set up are easy to follow. Would recommend
The sauna is perfect size for me as one person. It fits in the space very well. It looks so great in our recovery area, stylish with its lighting and wood finish. Overall very happy with it 🙏🏽
Absolutely love it! Have used it nearly everyday since receiving it. Was surprisingly easy to assemble. Highly recommend it!
Really great quality. Installation was simple (for my partner and a friend). Like all saunas it needs airflow to get it to 80+ degrees (from underneath and roof vent as well as around the element). John was super helpful. The delivery driver brilliant as well. Highly recommend this sauna, well worth buying from Nordhaus for sure. Nord look and the quality heater and timber makes a difference. Heats up in around 45 mins, simple to use and gets me sweating within 5 mins. I use a sauna felt hat to help protect my head and hair. Looks absolutely stunning and is a great addition to our outdoor covered area. thanks for a well designed, quality sauna!
I did a lot of research before settling on a Nordhaus sauna and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Compared to the similarly priced competition, Nordhaus use a larger heater (4.5kw) and 8mm glass instead of 6mm. When it arrived I was impressed by the build quality and attention to detail. It is also very easy to assemble. John and Jeven have been excellent every step of the way. We had a minor hiccup with the transport company but that was sorted out quickly by John and his team and the actual delivery driver couldn't have been more accommodating. I would recommend a Nordhaus traditional sauna to anyone with no hesitation.
