A Sanctuary for rest
in Melbourne's inner west
Tally Floatation was built on a simple belief: that stillness is not a luxury - it is a necessity. We created a space in Yarraville where Melburnians can genuinely disconnect, recover, and return to themselves.
"We built Tally because we believe everyone in Melbourne deserves access to deep, genuine rest - not just those who can take a holiday."
How Tally Floatation
Came to be
Float therapy changed our lives. After experiencing the profound effects of floating on stress, sleep, and mental clarity, we knew we had to bring a world-class float studio to Yarraville and Melbourne's inner west.
Tally Floatation is designed with genuine care - from the temperature of the water in each pod to the quiet that greets you when you walk through the door. We've thought about every detail so that the transition from the outside world begins the moment you arrive, not when you close the pod.
We're a small, passionate team who love what we do and care deeply about every guest's experience - whether it's your first float or your fiftieth. We're proud to be part of the Yarraville community and the growing Melbourne wellness movement.
Melbourne has a growing wellness scene, and we're proud to be part of it. But we've always done things our own way. Our approach is rooted in three things: quality, privacy, and genuine human care.
Every pod is rigorously cleaned and filtered between sessions. The water is tested and balanced daily. The temperature is calibrated to match your body's natural warmth - 34.5°C - so the boundaries between you and the water gently dissolve.
Our infrared sauna is similarly uncompromising. We chose our equipment carefully, selecting a full-spectrum infrared system that delivers far-, mid-, and near-infrared wavelengths - each with their own therapeutic properties.
And perhaps most importantly: when you arrive at Tally Floatation in Yarraville, you'll be welcomed by a human who genuinely cares how your session goes.
Our Values
Uncompromising Hygiene
Each pod is filtered a minimum of four times between sessions through UV and micron filtration. The Epsom salt concentration - ten times that of the ocean - creates a naturally inhospitable environment for bacteria. We take hygiene seriously so you never have to think about it.
Always Private
Your session is yours alone. We never double-book pods or share sauna spaces. From arrival to departure, your experience at our Yarraville studio is completely private. This is non-negotiable for us.
Locally Rooted
We're a Yarraville business, through and through. We care about our local community, our neighbours in Melbourne's inner west, and the wellbeing of the people who live and work around us. We're grateful to be part of this neighbourhood.
Evidence-Informed
Float therapy and infrared sauna are backed by a growing body of peer-reviewed research. We take the science seriously, stay up to date with the literature, and are always happy to discuss the evidence with curious guests.
