Looking to explore the kink scene in Melbourne?
Fetish House is Melbourne’s premier studio dedicated entirely to BDSM, fetish and fantasy play… and it’s not just a regular brothel with a token “dungeon”. This is a purpose-built clubhouse, fit for the kinkiest of minds. And whatever dirty fantasies you can dream up.
Open since 2000, this converted warehouse has six specialist rooms which clients can privately hire. But if you don’t have anybody to play with, you can also opt for a session with a “professional” member of staff. Yes, read: dominatrix! Let’s take a closer look…
Fetish House: A Fully Equipped Adult Playground
Take a glance at the plain red-brick warehouse exterior and you’d never guess what’s hiding inside.
From the outside it looks like any other industrial unit on a backstreet in Oakleigh South, but once that roller door slides shut behind you, you’re in another world. Discreet indoor parking means you can slip in without the neighbours having the faintest clue you’re about to get chained up like a Christmas ham.
Or do the chaining up.
The whole point of Fetish House is that stereotypes are there to be broken.
Whether you want to be the one holding the whip, the one feeling it, or someone who can’t quite decide until the last minute, Fetish House has pitched itself as something of an inclusive safe space.
Although, looking at some of the rooms… not that bloody safe.
The roster here isn’t just a parade of leather-clad dominatrixes (though yes, there are plenty of those if that’s what gets you weak at the knees). You’ll also find switches – providers who can play either side of the fence – and submissives, for those who get off on being in charge (for once).
A banker who spends his week barking orders can come here to surrender control in a cage.
A shy first-timer might start gently with a bit of light roleplay and spanking, then graduate to ropes and chains when the nerves settle.
Couples can book together, one exploring submission while the other learns to dish it out under the guidance of a pro.
Even seasoned lifestyle players hire the rooms privately, bringing their own partners but making use of the serious kit they’d probably never fit in a suburban spare bedroom (although we know some of you have tried!).
With that in mind, you’re probably wondering – what sessions does Fetish House actually offer?
What Sessions Are Available At Fetish House?
Glad you asked, because Fetish House has more session flavours than a Baskin Robbins.
Femdom/dominatrix sessions are the most popular booking here.
This is where you’re bent, bound, flogged, teased, tormented and occasionally left to stew in a cage while Mistress polishes her nails. It’s the classic “be at my mercy” arrangement, and the Mistresses here are more than happy to dish out everything from sensual tease-and-denial to full-on corporal punishment.
Play The Sub
They have several such sessions listed on their menu, known as ‘Dominant Sessions‘, and they start at $170 for 15 minutes, or $320 for 1 hour.
The exact pricing is determined by which ‘service provider’ you choose. The roster includes a revolving cast of 7-8 ladies, and each has her own specialities (as you’d expect in a ‘field’ like this!)
Play The Dom
If you want to switch the rules, you can hire one of their ladies to take on the role of a submissive. Submissive or Switch Sessions are priced higher, starting at $240 for 15 minutes, or $390 for 1 hour.
Now, this is where there has to be a LOT of flexibility with pricing. And things have to be negotiated very carefully. Not just the cost, but the nature of the session, boundaries and safe words. Any play that is likely to lead to ‘marking’ will be charged more, and in some cases, considerably more.
And if you mark a submissive’s body where it was not pre-arranged for you to do so, there will be extra fees applied – and probably a severe dressing down afterwards.
Boundaries are everything with any kind of paid BDSM fun.
A Lighter Experience
While most punters of Fetish House are specifically looking for a more extreme experience than the typical brothel, that’s not to say a lighter touch isn’t available.
You can hire a provider for basic roleplay (like a wicked nurse in their medical room, or a school girl in their dungeon). Prices start from $170 for 15 minutes, or $320 for 1 hour.
Wrestling Sessions
Wait… WTF?
Yes, it’s possible to book a wrestling session where your friendly neighbourhood Domme will happily throw you around like a rag doll. No further information is given on the site. Will she body slam you through a table and cut a promo while standing on your chest? Who knows.
What we do know is that it’ll set you back from $210 for 15 minutes or $420 for a full hour.
Now, you might be scratching your head – why is grappling with a Mistress pricier than hiring her to bottom as a Sub? Well, think about it: an hour of impact play is one thing. An hour of wrestling in a suburban warehouse is full blown cardio, buddy.
And cardio-based sex work is bloody expensive.
Why The Facilities Are The Big Draw
If you simply wanted to hire a dominatrix or a mistress, there are plenty of ways you can do so in Melbourne. The city has a diverse and sprawling escort scene.
And several local brothels scratch this itch, too.
The main attraction at Fetish House is the themed rooms.
Because you’d do well to replicate this bad-boy setup in your private residence…
There are six themed rooms to explore, and each is artfully designed for the kinkiest of pleasures…
The Sissy & Cross-Dressing Room is a wardrobe explosion of wigs, lingerie, latex, stilettos and makeup. It’s where shy punters get dolled up as slutty maids or sulky schoolgirls before being paraded around by a very amused Mistress.
The Bondage Bedroom takes things into boudoir territory, but with a purple-tinged twist: a huge steel-frame bed designed for full-body restraint, mirrored walls, and just enough mood lighting to make you forget this is technically an industrial unit in Oakleigh. Perfect for long tie-down sessions, couple play, or those who simply want to be pinned down and told to like it.
There are two Large Dungeons Rooms. The first is a cavernous red lit chamber with cages (see the pic above), benches, a St. Andrew’s cross, and suspension hooks overhead. The second ups the ante with a wet area: tiled floors, a spa bath, and drainage for water sports or sploshing sessions. There’s even a spinning bondage wheel.
Finally, we have two smaller Dungeon Rooms. Might sound like an afterthought, but they pack plenty of toys: adjustable bondage tables, whipping horses, benches with cages underneath, and so on.
Despite the extensive gear on display, the atmosphere inside is kept clean, modern and comfortable.
You’re not gonna find dusty medieval cobwebs hanging off paddles. The rooms are cleaned thoroughly between sessions, and they even have protocols for biohazard play like scat… (yep, expect a $100-150 extra cleaning fee and 24+ hours notice for any ‘brown showers’!).
“Safe, Sane and Consensual”
Fetish House’s mantra is “Safe, Sane, Consensual” and, thankfully, they don’t appear to compromise on that.
If you ask for something truly dangerous or illegal, they will flat-out refuse. Natural (unprotected sex) is still a no-go. It doesn’t matter that it’s ‘fetish’ themed – there’s simply no bargaining on this point.
On the flip side, if you’re shy about asking for something really out-there, don’t be… chances are the staff has done it before. If they haven’t, it might be negotiable. But you’re not going to be laughed at or kicked out for exploring some unusual ‘extras’.
Keep in mind, though, each Fetish Provider is an independent contractor working under the Fetish House roof.
The pricing on their menu (which we’ve quoted above) is indicative but by no means conclusive. Different girls will charge different rates, sometimes for the same service or extras.
You can often do same-day walk-ins or calls, but it’s recommended to book ahead, especially if you have a particular provider or a complicated scene in mind.
Phone in (+61 3 9544 8384) or visit their online rota to see who is available (and when).
Opening hours:
- Monday to Friday: 11am – 7pm
- Saturday, Sunday: Noon to 6pm
You can find the Fetish House at 1 Edinburgh St, Oakleigh South VIC 3167.
It’s about a 30-minute drive to the south-east of Melbourne, in an industrial area of the suburb of Oakleigh. Entrance to the studio is via the Millgate Street roller door.
