What's New In Town!Victoria Avenue: Wellbeing at the Sauna Sanctuary. With Sauna Sanctuary, Max and Rebekah Butters are making luxury feel attainable. They’ve been operating Sauna Sanctuary for two weeks when I visit, and the location seems an unlikely one for a sauna and cold plunge pool - in an upstairs office building at 56 Victoria Ave. But you walk into the reception and there’s candles and plants, it feels private and peaceful, like an escape from the everyday. The brother and sister at the heart of the operation are two of the loveliest, most down-to-earth people you could ever meet. Their warmth and humour is infectious, as well as their passion for what they’re doing. Max and Rebekah (or Becky, as Max calls her) started Sauna Sanctuary because of their shared love of the sauna, and the sense of well-being it gives them. “We feel like Whanganui deserves more nice things and we wanted to invest back into our hometown and create a clean, comfortable, more private space for people here.” Max adds, “Once we decided to do this, we just went full-steam ahead. The idea came about three months ago. And then me and Becky were like - let’s just do it, let’s take a risk.”
