About this place Hot House

Hot House is an upscale gay sauna in Green Point, one of Cape Town’s main LGBTQ+ areas. You get a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and private cabins here. Plus a dark room, if that's what you're after. This is a big, established place for gay men, whether you're just visiting Cape Town or live here. They also have a café and bar. So you can grab a drink or a light meal, then head back to the steam room. It's easy to spend a few hours moving between the different spaces. Staff are professional and welcoming, which makes it comfortable even if you haven’t been to a gay sauna before. Like any gay sauna, this is an adults-only spot for relaxing and socializing. You'll find it at 16 Jarvis Street, right in Green Point. It’s a stylish option if you want to unwind after a flight, meet some locals, or just hang out in a dedicated LGBTQ+ space.

Loose hands one of the worst saunas. Dark and dingy with guys smoking everywhere. Not worth it.

A place that could be nice if it were clean, with used condoms, bottles, and broken glass lying around everywhere; otherwise, some nice encounters in the sauna...

I was at the sauna for 4 days during New Year's week, and the only day that had a reasonable number of people was on the 31st after midnight, including a line to get in. On the other days it was quite empty. The dry sauna was closed, and only the steam room was operating. However, most people who go there don't stay long in the sauna; they prefer to stay in the cabins. Lots of flamboyant gay men, and the service at the bar isn't all that great! The security guard there is quite gruff and rude. Don't you dare close your eyes for 2 minutes to enjoy the music they play, or the guy will come and say, "You can't sleep in the sauna!"
