Tara | 5/6 seater

Our Original & Much-Loved Horsebox Sauna

Lovingly converted from an old horsebox, this intimate 5–6 seater wood fired sauna is where it all began. Crafted with Siberian larch and powered by a 120kg volcanic rock stove, she delivers some of the finest löyly (sauna steam) you’ll find in Sussex.

Cosy, characterful, and full of charm — she’s perfect for a private session with a partner, a small group of friends, or a quiet catch-up with someone special. Or what the heck have a indulgent solo sauna!

Private hire starts from ÂŁ80 for 55 mins during the week, and ÂŁ100 for 75mins at weekends

Our Reviews

  • "This sauna is totally awesome...

    it was just over 80, so nice and hot, and it is paired with an ice cold lake, shower and ice bucket to cool off. Tea is served half way through and a slice of orange at the end. I totally loved my experience and have already booked again. Thanks so much.”

  • "The warmest welcome on the coldest day!...

    Kindred Sauna has thought of all the details to make a wild sauna experience everything it needs to be. We wanted for nothing - ginger shots, wood to burn, a frozen pond to regulate in, herbal tea, orange slices… and storks on a fly by!
    Thank you Lisa. A wonderful mid-winter thaw out. Definitely returning”.

  • "Absolutely blissful experience!!...

    Gorgeous setting, so peaceful and beautiful. The staff had exactly the right balance of looking after us, making sure we were OK and leaving us to it. The swimming pond is dreamy. Unexpected extras like tea & some fruit made it a cut above other similar saunas and cold plunges I've been to. Will be coming back as soon as I can! ❤️ LOVED every second of it!”

  • 'Fabulous, relaxing time at Kindred Sauna...

    The sauna host was very friendly and helpful and we loved the swimming pond! It felt like a real treat to ourselves. We’ll be back!”

  • "Peak sauna experience!...

    Beautifully made sauna, kept properly hot and with a great view over the Knepp estate. We were treated to lovely wooden cups of ginger and chilli tea and refreshing orange slices during our session, and the swim in the natural swimming pond fringed with huge old oak trees was just EPIC.”

  • "Absolutely loved our experience here...

    my partner had a massage with Gemma and couldn't stop saying how great it was, then we went in the saunas which are clean, perfect no matter the weather and the added touches of tea and oranges were so perfect. Also if you brave the wild swimming that is pretty cool too! Great surrounding and would definitely come again”
