Bush spa opens along South Africa’s Garden Route

By Rebecca Barnes    17 Feb 2017

Situated along the Garden Route, a stretch of the south-western coast of South Africa, the 5-star Gondwana Game Reserve has opened a new bush spa.

Gondwana Game Reserve sits on over 11,000-hectares (26,000 acres) of unspoiled fynbos-covered land, surrounded by the ancient terrain of the Swartberg and Outeniqua mountain ranges.

The standalone spa was introduced due to demand and as the ideal way to break up a safari, and is a sanctuary for those seeking tranquility and rejuvenation of mind, body and soul.

Part of the Kwena Lodge facilities, the tented bush spa is tucked away along a footpath, and features individual and couple treatment rooms with an African chic-themed decor. All rooms can be completely opened to the outdoors, and provide mountain views across the open shaded deck.

Adopting the mantra, ‘Revitalise yourself with nature’s touch, tone and tempo’, the spa uses Africology products featuring natural, indigenous plants including marula, rooibos, African potato and aloe ferox.

Treatments can be performed in a treatment room, in the guest's room or in the open-air.

The full treatment menu includes body, face, hand and foot treatments with a local twist: signature treatments include Happy Hippo Mud Wrap package, Sun Downer Anti-Ageing Facial and Serengeti Scrub.

Guests can also indulge in a Wellness in the Wilderness break, combining a traditional safari experience with treatments.

“We love our new bush spa and so do our guests,” said Wendy Rutherfoord, owner. “It adds a new level of relaxation now in its own special place on the reserve, making their stay more memorable and rejuvenating than ever before.”
