Set within a light-filled heritage building, the space is shaped by considered textures, natural light and a sense of quiet permanence. Its history remains present, creating an atmosphere that feels grounding and deeply restorative.
Guests move through the bathhouse at their own pace across three levels, flowing between pools, saunas and contrast therapies within the Else Renew Circuit—bringing a world-class bathing experience to South Melbourne.
Above the bathhouse, the experience opens to the sky. Mineral-rich rooftop pools invite moments of sky bathing, with expansive views across the Melbourne skyline. Calm, open and elemental, these pools form a defining part of the Else experience.
“We wanted to offer something that would help people unwind and care for themselves, a peaceful space woven into the rhythm of local life. Bringing else to South Melbourne felt natural.”
Paul, Founder
Immersed in warm water beneath open sky, sky bathing reconnects you to light, air and the rhythm of the day or night. With the city skyline in view, a quiet calm emerges—expansive, grounding and deeply personal.
Set within a light-filled heritage building, Else Bathhouse offers a sense of permanence rarely found in modern life. Considered textures, natural light and solid walls create a grounding environment where the body softens and the mind quietens. Faint Croft’s Store ghost signs and wool store remnants remain—subtle traces of history that invite reflection and stillness.
