Wet Spa & Sauna - Bowen Hills, Queensland

Cal W.

Came to visit from Melbourne where I’m very familiar with the Wet Sauna; this one just doesn’t compare. It was a Wednesday night and I had to wait at the front door to be let in, only for the venue to be empty. I expected there to be a bar and smoking area similar to all other saunas I’ve experienced in Australia and other counties, but nothing. The venue is small and I couldn’t even find the cruising area? Based on the other old reviews here, it seems like the venue hasn’t had an upgrade in a long time and is well due one - or there needs to be some more competition in Brisbane to bring the standards up. Staff were lovely though.

I’ve been going to WET since 2021 and absolutely love the vibe. The reception staff are always friendly, respectful, and make you feel welcome. Parking has never been an issue, which is a big plus. The pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna are all fantastic, and most of the time, you meet good, friendly people inside. Sure, occasionally you encounter someone not as pleasant, but that’s not the venue’s fault. I make it a point to visit at least once every two months, and I’ve even made some great friends there. I highly recommend WET, especially if you’re new in town and looking to meet people.

I recommend going in a group, going alone is kind of nerve racking, I went alone once, got groped by some of the older men there (talking about grey to white haired individuals) but when I was walking around in my pup hood, some seem interested and one asked to give me headpats which I was okay with, I tend to update this review after each time I come to the spa

Wet the sauna is the best place around to meet friendly people plus the fascilities are clean etc. There's a spa sauna steam pool plus cinema rooms plus a great lounge area with food and drinks. Wet the sauna is legal discreet and relaxing. There's someone for everyone and there's no pressure or profile needed. For me it's therapeutic as it takes the stress out of daily living. It's not just gay men who go to the sauna but also lotsa bi and straight acting men xxx 😐

I started coming here quite often at the end of 2023. I have experienced what every day has to offer. As with most things, it can be hit and miss and depends entirely on personal preferences. Sundays are super busy early afternoon with the highest chance to find what you're looking for or at least get some good eye candy.

Most recently, I've been coming during the day midweek to enjoy the actual spa amenities and destress and unwind before I return to work over the weekend. It's typically quiet, and you can stretch out and enjoy.

The showers have seemed to have some water temperature issues recently, which will hopefully be resolved or at least not matter in the warmer months.

There's recently been some unpleasant odours around the cruising area and steam room, and of course, in the bathroom.

You do unfortunately have to deal with some creepy behaviour with people following you around, even when you give no indication of interest or straight up say "no thanks" and continue to get groped by typically older men. No means no! Maybe need some signage about body language alongside the consent signage.

They have implemented a basic system to identify what you're there for. Wear your locker key around your: wrist if you Top, upper arm if you're Vers or ankle if your Btm. No way to identify Side or just relaxing.

It's super frustrating arriving 30mins before they open and the carpark already being full, potentially by people visiting other businesses. Too many lazy locals driving in when theyre 5 mins away by foot or public transport.😤 thankfully i could park precariously till they opened and then went inside to ask about the 2 spots blocked by the yellow bollards and they were able to unlock one for me. 😊

Great place to go when the missus gets her hair done, stumbled on it by accident, the pool, sauna and steam room were great, the staff and patrons were very affectionate and friendly. They even have small dark rooms where you can lay down and relax!
I even ran into my father in law and his son while in the spa such a small world!

Brisbane’s only Sauna with a pool—only sauna at all. Pretty old and not very clean though and as there is no competition there doesn't seem to be much incentive for them to tidy the place up. The walls are rickety and feel like they'll fall down and doors don’t lock properly. How hard is it to install new door knobs?

The worst of all is the cleanliness and unsanitary conditions.

There are no wet wipes in the rooms, and often not even any paper towel, and certainly no spray to clean the bed yourself. It's so simple to put a wet wipe dispenser in ... like every single gym does these days! Rooms are often left uncleaned for hours in peak times as they are always occupied. A quick wipe of the bed is all they get but the floors will remain slippery and slimy and dirty.

They often run out of fresh towels so you can't even wash properly. That's if the soap dispensers in the showers and toilets have been refilled at all.
OMG and the toilets seem to be NEVER cleaned. They stink and you'll be sanding in excrement, let alone whatever is left on the seat. Public urinals would be more sanitary, and the staff don't seem to care at all.

Wet serves its purpose if you're willing to accept unsanitary conditions, but is in desperate need of a renovation and a deep clean.
