I\u2019ve spent the past few days on my \u201cbabymoon\u201d \u2014 a final holiday before my husband Henry and I drastically change our lives and introduce a mini human into the world<\/a>. On Friday, we checked into Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat for their Wellness Weekend. Our stay included two nights\u2019 accommodation, a treatment each (although I booked in for two \u2014 why not?), delicious organic meals and drinks, key wellness seminars, and access to all the first-class facilities and activities.<\/p>\n

Once we unpack, I take a walk and get familiar with the lush green grounds surrounding Gwinganna. Arriving at the Spa Sanctuary, I change into my robe and slippers and relax on the outdoor deck. I learn that Gwinganna has the largest spa in the southern hemisphere and with its environmentally sensitive<\/a> architecture, it has to be the most stunning I\u2019ve ever seen. Admiring the native spa garden and listening to the kookaburras, I sip on a herbal tea and enjoy some fruit before the main indulgence: a hydration facial.<\/p>\n

Floating out of the treatment room, my skin feels nourished and clean. The Vanessa Megan skincare products smell divine and my therapist\u2019s touch is one of healing and care. I love the Vanessa Megan\u2019s Auric 24k Gold and Wild Herb Serum, the Vitamin A+B+C Daily Moisturiser and the gentle Beauty Vibe\u2122 Micro-Vibration. Afterwards, I find my husband in the communal dining room, conversing with new friends and drooling over the organic, gluten-free and delicious three-course meal.<\/p>\n
