Wet on Wellington, or simply ‘WoW’, is Melbourne’s best-known gay sauna, located in the suburb of Collingwood. It offers a mix of wellness facilities and playful spaces, attracting both locals and visitors who want a social yet discreet environment.
The venue is spread across several floors, with a large spa, steam rooms, saunas, and showers. A heated rooftop terrace adds something unique, giving guests a chance to relax outdoors in between visits to the steam or dark zones. Private cabins and cruising areas provide opportunities for more adventurous encounters, while the lounge and café make it easy to socialize in a relaxed way.
WoW is as much about community as it is about play. The sauna regularly hosts themed nights, from younger crowd events to afternoons geared toward older men. Staff keep the venue clean and friendly, and the design feels welcoming rather than intimidating.
For international travelers, Wet on Wellington is a chance to see Melbourne’s gay scene beyond bars and clubs. It’s easy to spend hours moving between the spa, café, and terrace, whether you’re there to meet people or simply unwind. With its variety of spaces, WoW balances relaxation and cruising in a uniquely Melbourne way.
