*info*
the saunas
we have four cedar saunas
available for private rental, each with different seating
arrangements, natural light features and decks and stoops for
lounging and sitting. we hope you try them all! our saunas fit 1-6
people, with 6 being doable but definitely cozy. sauna #4 is more spacious and can fit up to 8 people.
pricing
we charge a flat rate per session. a visit is more affordable when shared with friends.
sauna #1-3: $130 for 1.5 hr session (6 ppl max)
sauna #4: $150 for 1.5 hr session (8 ppl), or $130 for those requiring ramp access.
[if your party exceeds the maximum capacity, you will be charged for the cost of an additional sauna rental]
gift card
we've got a limited number of special holiday gift cards for sale!
you can also still purchase a digital gift card here!
facilities
there are changing
cubicles, two communal cold rinsing showers, and two porta potties on site.
we also have open cubbies for stashing your belongings.
beach & water
there is a small
beach next to the saunas, accessible by a short stairway, perfect
for a cold plunge after breaking a sweat inside (it’s possible to
access the water most of the day except for very low tide so if
you’re set on getting in the water, be sure to check the
tide charts
before reserving your slot!). we ask that you not go further than waist deep and discourage swimming, as there are often strong
currents and there is no lifeguard on duty. currently, the beach is not accessible for wheelchair users.
*good friends* membership program
become a *good friend*! this membership is meant to make sauna-ing more affordable, by creating a communal sauna that can be booked for an individual session,
just for good friends—as well as some perks and discounts. take a look and sign up here!
health & safety
we ask that guests take the
necessary precautions when sauna-ing in a group. if you are feeling
sick, we ask that you do not use the saunas. in between each use, we wipe down all
surfaces, and let the saunas run at 175 degrees for 10 minutes.
parties, events, retreats
interested in a private rental of our whole space? you can submit an
inquiry
here.
children
18+ only permitted up at good hot.
both for safety reasons and for the consideration of other guests,
we do not allow for children at our facilities.
dogs
unfortunately, no dogs allowed on the premises
lost and found
we hang onto forgotten items for one full month, after which all unclaimed belongings are donated.
hours
currently our hours are limited. we are open on friday through monday, from 9:30 AM - 6 PM.
visits are all by reservation only, there is no drop-in bathing.
booking availability
reservations are available up to two weeks in advance.
we are a small operation and this keeps things manageable for us :)
what to bring
swimsuit (disrobing permitted in the saunas but we ask that you wear
a cover in the public areas), a towel (2 is even better, one for
drying off, one for lying on), sandals or water shoes for the beach (a
requirement for getting in the water as it is a bit rocky on the way
out), and plenty of drinking water. feel free to bring snacks for
after your session.
the location
our venue, point san pablo, is an active industrial
park we share with our fellow tenants; truckers, contractors, etc. it’s a
beautiful corner of the bay made all the more special by it’s
eclectic mix of activities and history. you will receive specific
instructions with a gate code and directions in your confirmation
email. we are a no-smoking facility.
cancellations
all cancellations incur a $5 fee. we will issue full refunds (minus the $5 cancellation fee) up to 48 hours before your reservation
time, after which we can offer a 50% refund. if for some reason we
have to cancel (high smoke advisory, severe weather) we will try to
contact guests 24 hours in advance of their reservation and issue a
full refund.
wheelchair access
sauna #4 is our wheelchair-accessible sauna. our booking site price is $150 because of its higher max capacity, but is offered at $ for those requiring ramp access (apply the code ADA_ACCESS at checkout). if possible, please contact us in advance so that we can remove the benches from the sauna to accommodate a wheelchair.
reduced rate sessions
each month, we offer a limited number of 50% off reduced rate visits
for low income QTBIPOC. first come first serve,
limit one per person per month. please fill out this form to receive a coupon.
ride reimbursement program
we're experimenting with another way to make good hot accessible to more people by subsidizing transportation costs up to $40 round trip per party. available to people who don’t have access to a car or carpool situation, and who have financial difficulty paying for a cab ride. please fill out this
form and upload a copy of your cab receipts within 24 hours after your visit and we will issue you a credit.
flag program
the flag program brings a series of artists to good hot
to enjoy a sauna and design a site-specific flag!
after flying by the bay for a few months,
each flag will be raffled off with all profits donated to
an organization or mutual aid fund of the artist's choice.
