About Niche Coastal
The sauna is a converted horsebox, fitted out as a Finnish-style wood-fired sauna and towed by a Defender. The hula girl in the Nlara logo came with the Defender: its previous owner insisted she stay on the dashboard. Inside, robes and towels hang on hooks. Sessions run all year and pause for winds over 45 mph or thunder and lightning, and because the sauna is mobile it also turns up at private events along the North Coast.
