How To Use The Sauna

A sauna is one of the special amenities that come with select Wander properties. Instructions vary by property. So here’s how to use the sauna if you’re staying at one of the Wander properties that have this amenity.

Wander Anchor Bay

There are two knobs you will be using to turn the sauna on – the temperature knob and the timer knob.

To set the temperature, turn knob 1, which is on the left. To set the timer, turn knob 2, which is on the right.

The timer knob is what sets the delay until the sauna starts heating up. If you plan on using it later on, you would simply leave the knob on the first click.

Try using our instructional video to help you get started.
