Dunalley Bay Sauna was founded by two sauna loving locals who have been enjoying the cozy warmth and beautiful wooden ambiences of saunas for many years. They both have saunas at home and over a chat (in the sauna), they decided that a sauna for locals and visitors was a compelling idea and the business was born. Dunalley Bay Sauna is a large 6-person barrel sauna located on the Forestier Peninsula a few minutes past Dunalley. They get you toasty and relaxed in a beautiful coastal environment. The sauna has an expansive cedar interior and a powerful Finnish heater, with a large panoramic window to enjoy the water view.

Bruny Island Beer Co. started with a conversation between a cheese maker and a brewer. Nick Haddow, founder of Bruny Island Cheese Co., and Evan Hunter, formerly of Tasmanian stalwarts Seven Sheds, Moo Brew and Lark Distillery, designed the brewery around a shared enthusiasm for fermentation and regionally distinctive, artisan produce. The brewery was built behind the cheesery in Great Bay, Bruny Island and the first beer was released in February 2016. The unique brewhouse has been built to Evan's specifications using recycled dairy equipment sourced from local farms.
