Health and wellness, Australian style.

Daylesford, Victoria

The Peppers Mineral Springs Hotel was originally built in 1935 and here you can ‘take the waters’ in the midst of landscaped gardens. The award-winning Samadhi Health and Wellness Retreat and Spa offers Professional Burnt Out, Detox and Bounce Back Retreats, with deep tissue therapies, bush walks, yoga, balanced lifestyle sessions and healthy meals.
