My Recovery Lounge

On Bay Street in Port Melbourne, My Recovery Lounge is built around private and semi-private bookings rather than a shared pool deck. You’re reserving a space, not turning up to see what’s available.

The temperature range is the first thing to know. The traditional rock sauna runs at 85 to 90°C. One Google review describes it reaching “nuclear reactor levels” of heat, which reads as a compliment in context. On the cold side, there’s a genuine choice: 2–3°C for those who’ve done this before, or 7–9°C for first-timers. That distinction is worth making explicit, and not many venues bother. The hot magnesium bath sits alongside both, available for contrast work or on its own.

The traditional sauna reaches 85–90°C, and the ice baths run from 2–3°C for the experienced down to 7–9°C for first-timers.

The spaces are arranged to keep most visits fairly private. The Peaceful Corner is a semi-private outdoor area for up to three people: traditional sauna, large ice bath, bamboo shower. The Serenity Suite upstairs handles larger groups (up to eight), with the Odin ice bath, bamboo shower, two bathrooms, and three showers. The infrared sauna has its own room and shower. The compression lounge has a TV and Netflix, which tells you something about the pace of things here.

The treatment menu covers myotherapy, remedial massage, acupuncture, lymphatic drainage with gentle cupping, and compression boots sessions. Pablo joined the remedial massage team from late January 2026.

With 298 Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, the feedback is consistent: the staff are attentive and the facilities are clean and well-maintained.

Jason is mentioned by name in multiple reviews. Couples sessions in the Serenity Suite come up often too, which gives you a sense of how the space gets used.

Bring your own towel and swimwear. A no-lock-in membership covers unlimited sauna, ice bath, infrared, and compression boots, with 15% off all services on top. If you’re planning to go more than once or twice a month, it’s worth doing the maths against casual rates.

Hours shift through the week: Monday and Friday open at 10am, Tuesday to Thursday from noon, and both weekend days from 9am (closing at 5pm Saturday and 6pm Sunday). Given the private-room format, booking ahead is the sensible move.
