We built our own Sauna into the Shearers Studio to add that extra winter comfort. It’s a little extravagant given the beautiful wood stove at the end of the King Bed - but we build because we love the process and the challenge.
Our Sauna is an authentic Wood-fire Finnish Dry Sauna, with an imported wood stove and beautiful Red Cedar paneling. The Red Cedar windows and benches were milled by us from a discarded pergola in Hunters Hill. They were large & exceptional pieces (after quite a few hours work!).
We wanted the Studio to be an amazing, yet humble, sleeping and stay experience, and the relaxation you get from a Sauna elevates this to another level. We are so glad Saunas are having a revival at the moment, they certainly deserve to.

Shearers Studio at Little Valley Farm, NSW
Hovering above a machinery shed on a working farm in the Wollombi Valley, the sauna experience at Little Valley Farm is as down-to-earth and authentic as it is secluded.

The Shearers Studio is set 100 metres from their other quirky accommodation offering – a 1950s Sydney Train carriage.
