WELLNESS AND HEAVENLY RELAXATION
Oooooh I have just had the most heavenly day at a place called The Wellness Manor in Mornington.
It was a very special Christmas gift for my daughter and I from “He who likes hints about gifts”. Of course it wasn’t for the whole day but having attended at 11.00 for 3 hours with bathers in hand I have been wiped out for the whole afternoon. Divinely relaxed and my skin is sooo smooth.

The whole team greeted us and we were ushered into an immaculate clean bathroom with velvety benches and gorgeous creams. First we bathed in wonderfully warm, mineral pools which are surrounded with soft white drapes looking out onto a gardenia filled garden. We sipped mint tea and iced water delivered from a tray with small sprigs of lavender. I was starting to feel pampered. Then into the Detox box – a cute little sauna built for one.
Next we headed to The Pod.
Oh yes, The POD looks and IS amazing. To me it looked like something from the space age. First a lovely foot spa and massage, then I slipped into The POD. I wasn’t sure if I would be showing my bits but with all the delicate modesty I could have asked for I was draped in small towels by the reflexologist and then exfoliated, oiled and covered in warm mud. I was so relieved that my head wasn’t covered when the lid came down. As the POD steamed and sprayed me I was given a warm oil head massage.
Heavenly!
We were lead out to the relaxation veranda to recline on beautiful white couches draped with furs and soft, pretty throws. Our platter arrived promptly, a sumptuous selection of cheeses, dips, nuts and fruits and our glasses of wine perfect.
What a lovely day!
