I was a bit nervous, as it was my first float, but Candice was great at introducing us to the place, and explained everything clearly. The place itself is calming and you feel instantly relaxed, the minute you walk in. The floatation tank rooms are extremely clean. I finished the session feeling very calm and buzzing with happiness.

I have been floating at Beyond Rest Hawthorn for a little while now and not only is the environment incredibly peaceful, the floats have helped my keep my rheumatoid arthritis at bay. However, I have recently tried their new cocoon wellness pod and red light therapy and had instantaneous relief. I was a bit hesitant to try the cocoon, however the staff were very kind and supportive and thoroughly answered my questions. I finished the session feeling refreshed and pain free.

Absolutely love this place! Being a healthcare worker, I've been wanting to find something that works for my busy mind and fatigued body for a while, and the floats are a good combination of the physical benefits of a massage, and the mindful benefits of meditation. Not only have I benefited from my multiple floats for stress-relief, relaxation, and physical tension release for my body (specifically my neck and shoulders), but the staff here at Hawthorn are absolutely divine and always a pleasure to deal with! Special shout-out to Denise who is so informative about the floats and how they work for you, she also always checks in to assess how each float is going for you, similarities and differences, and is always so encouraging and reminds you to always "expect nothing"! She is always so inviting when I arrive, and always greets you with a smile! I was quite nervous when I first started, the floats appear daunting, but once you adapt - you'll be hooked! One of the main things I looked forward to after is my post-float glow, it's definitely a thing! I've already referred my family, friends and colleagues :)

Absolutely gorgeous and calming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly helpful for first timers and great support for newcomers. The facilities post soak include a personal shower with toiletries, and a beauty room with hair dryers to dry off, followed by delicious and calming tea. Best word to describe BR is absolute bliss

I recently visited Beyond Rest, a floatation center that opened in 2020, for the third time and I have to say, my experience was just as amazing as the first two times. The center was still impressively clean and well-maintained, and the facilities were just as top-notch as I remembered. As I settled into the floatation tank, I felt a familiar sense of anticipation and excitement. Even though I had floated before, I still found the experience to be incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. The darkness and silence of the tank allowed me to completely disconnect from the outside world and focus on my own thoughts and feelings. After my floatation, I enjoyed spending some time in the relaxation room, which had a calming and soothing atmosphere that I had come to expect from Beyond Rest. The hot tea provided was the perfect finishing touch to my experience, and I felt completely refreshed and rejuvenated. Beyond Rest's facilities were excellent as always, with all the amenities I needed to feel comfortable and pampered. The staff were friendly and attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my floatation experience and relaxation time to the fullest. Overall, I would highly recommend Beyond Rest to anyone looking for a restorative and refreshing experience. Whether you're a first-time floater or a seasoned veteran, this place is sure to leave you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the world. I can't wait to come back again soon and experience the incredible benefits of floatation and relaxation at Beyond Rest.

From the double door at the entrance to keep the noise & hustle outside… to the relaxing tea, calm music and comfy chairs on the way out. This place forces you to leave it all behind you and invites you to find your inner peace. Great staff as well. Love it.

Beyond Rest Hawthorn is my favourite place to be! I recently tried the cocoon wellness pod for the first time and I’m obsessed! I usually like to give everything a go three times to figure out if I like it or not but I immediately loved the cocoon wellness pod. I ended up falling asleep instantly as it’s a comfortable heat, the face fans are absolutely incredible giving off a salt air therapy and the pod also gives you a full body massage. Looking forward to my next session 🥰

Customer service and the experience is amazing. When I first went into the pod for a while I thought “this is so overrated” but the last 10-15 min in the pod my brain really turned off and I was able to enjoy the experience. I did have some shoulder ache in the pod which helped me realise I should relax my shoulder more because it’s too stressed. I loved how there was no rush whatsoever during the experience. I really felt like I was in the moment thanks to this. Definitely interested in treating myself again! I think it’ll be even better next time. The lounge area was great to rewind and reflect on the experience, the tea was so delicious I bought some for home! My only feedback is that the decor and atmosphere that’s in the reception area and the halls get cut off when you enter the pod room. There are no longer plants or decor items or scents in the pod room so when you immerse yourself in the atmosphere than suddenly enter the room it’s very noticeable, the lights in the pod room are bad too compared to the hall and the reception. Otherwise an excellent experience which I’ll be recommending further to friends and family!!

I have to say, this is an exceptional establishment! I loved everything about the facility, there were beautiful showers in the rooms with body wash, shampoo and conditioner and everything was spotlessly cleaned. Denise is just lovely, very welcoming and even stayed a little after closing time so I could try the float after my sauna. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! Highly recommend :)

The first time I went here was when they offered a free float trial last year. It took me a year to go back as I thought I wasn't ready to commit yet as I am still struggling with Long covid. When I went back May if this year, I enrolled myself on the weekly float with free sauna monthly. And that was one of the best decisions Ive made this year!! It gives me the energy kick that I need and I bought the trial package for Cocoon too!! The people here are really nice. But the most remarkable one is Denise. She always assist me the best way she could. See you again soon!! And your tea is the best!!! And your services are heaven sent! It helped me in managing my Chronic pain and fatigue. ✨️🙏

Loved this place and the atmosphere! Definitely felt distressed from burnt out after the float! The cocoon wellness pod was also very relaxing and calming. Overall an amazing experience!

Thank you for taking me on this journey Beyond Rest! What a beautiful space, full of calm energy and Denise is such a gem. She took me through the place and I felt ‘at home’ right away because I knew where everything I needed was placed. She also took me through the different kinds of floats and recommended the one that would suit a first time floater. Felt calm after my float and had a chance to regroup my thoughts at their lounge. Don’t stress as there is ample street parking around the building. Cant wait to come back for my second float experience 🌺

I love floating! It is the most effective way to release stress and tension so you can make better decisions and respond more creatively to the world. Beyond Rest Hawthorn is an incredibly tranquil and well-cared for place to float. Just walking into the space the tension runs away. I enrolled in the weekly float membership with a free IR sauna each month this year and it has been amazing. The sauna/float combination is very therapeutic - and the IR sauna is nothing like a traditional sauna - so many weeks I used my member discount to add the sauna to my float. Great for sleeping, creativity, and general well-being. The Cocoon is also enjoyable - I liked the massage and lymphatic drainage from that - but the IR sauna/float combo is my favourite. If you’re worried about claustrophobia in the tank, there’s no need - you have total control so you could always open the lid, and the light and music (if you choose to have them) are very soothing. I have one tip on the sauna - if you find you get a headache during or after, it’s a sign that your body is eliminating a lot of toxins so you really need to make it part of your life: make sure you are well hydrated and increase the temperature gradually as you accumulate sessions.
