good on ya mate, love seeing someone turn a hobby into something real. might hit you up for a sauna one day 🔥

another wellness biz, great. how much does it cost? probably more than my bloody rent

E X C E L L E N T another entrepreneur story while the rest of us struggle with the cost of living crisis. This government is all about 'feel good' puff pieces instead of fixing the economy. But a sauna? Sure, that'll solve everything.

saunas are legit good for you tho. would be keen to see if there's any science backing some of the health claims. interesting read

Jamie Fox2026-06-21T20:14:00.000Z

each to their own aye, some ppl like spending on experiences. better than blowing it on booze

ah yes, the 'wellness industry' — just a fancy way to sell overpriced sweatboxes to people who think sweating = detox. your kidneys do that mate.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-21T20:54:00.000Z

nah mate the kidneys don't do enough. have you seen the state of our rivers? we need a sauna for the soul.

Casey Adams2026-06-21T21:02:00.000Z

lol 'sauna for the soul' you sound like a mindfulness app ad. get real.

Stuff2026-06-21T20:30:00.000Z

I skimmed the article, sounds like a nice story but honestly who has money for a sauna right now? maybe if they were $50

Rowan Blake2026-06-21T21:26:00.000Z

actually there's legit research on heat therapy and circulation. not just hype. but go off i guess

Sophie Ngata2026-06-21T20:44:00.000Z

so cool to see local businesses thriving! we need more positive stories like this. support local!

NZ Herald2026-06-21T20:56:00.000Z

we go with the 'support local' brigade. How about we support local by making it affordable to live here first?

Rowan Blake2026-06-21T21:06:00.000Z

bet it smells like sweaty socks in there. no thanks.

Stuff2026-06-21T21:23:00.000Z
