Float + Sauna Wellness Day in Yarraville: How to Plan Your Experience

QUICK ANSWER

To plan a float and infrared sauna day at Tally Floathouse, choose a combo session, block out roughly 90 minutes including a 40 minute early arrival for your sauna, avoid a heavy meal beforehand, and leave some quiet time afterwards rather than rushing into something busy.

Start by choosing the right combo

Tally Floathouse offers a few different ways to combine sauna and float, and the right one depends on how much time you have.

Combo	Price	Best for
60 Minute Express Sauna & Float	$89	Tighter schedules, still want both
30 Minute Sauna & 60 Minute Float	$99	The most popular full combo
Couples Sauna & Float	$160	Sharing the sauna, then separate private floats

If you're still deciding whether to pair the two at all versus choosing just one, our guide to why we recommend combining float and sauna covers the reasoning in more detail.

How much time to actually block out

This is the detail people most often miss. Your booked appointment time is for the float, not the sauna. If your combo includes a sauna, plan to arrive 40 minutes before your booked time so there's room for both.

All up, plan for around 90 minutes at the studio once you include a shower and a few minutes to settle in the relaxation lounge afterwards.

What to bring and how to prepare

Wear whatever you're comfortable in, swimwear works for both the sauna and the float. Avoid a heavy meal in the hour or so beforehand, and try to arrive already reasonably hydrated. Contact lens wearers may prefer to bring a case, since some guests find it more comfortable to float without them.

Picking the best day and time

A combo session works well as a weekday reset after work, a Tuesday visit paired with our Bring a Friend sauna special, or a slower weekend booking if you'd rather not be watching the clock afterwards.

There's no wrong time to book, it really comes down to when you can leave a little space either side rather than rushing straight back into your day.

What to plan for afterwards

Try to avoid scheduling something demanding immediately after your session. Most guests feel noticeably calmer and looser afterwards, and a quiet stretch of time, even just the drive home, helps that feeling last. If you'd like to turn the whole day into more of an occasion rather than just the session itself, our guide to a full wellness day in Yarraville covers how to build a slower morning or afternoon around it.

Making it a regular thing

If a float and sauna combo becomes something you want to do more than once, it's worth looking at how frequency fits your routine. Our guide to how often to use an infrared sauna and our pricing page both cover the packages and membership options built for regular visits.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to book the sauna and float separately?

No, our combo sessions are booked as a single appointment. Just remember your booked time is for the float, so arrive 40 minutes early if your combo includes a sauna.

How far in advance should I book a combo session?

A few days ahead is generally enough, though weekends and evenings book out faster, so earlier is safer if you have a specific date in mind.

Can I do a combo session on a lunch break?

The 60 minute express option is the better fit if you're working around a tighter window, since it fits both experiences into a shorter visit.

What should I do if I'm running late?

Call ahead if you can. Depending on how late, we may need to adjust your sauna time or move straight to your float instead.

Is a combo session suitable for a first-time visit to Tally Floathouse?

Yes, plenty of guests try float and sauna together for the very first time as a combo. There's nothing you need to prepare beyond what's outlined above.
