Japanese Mountain Retreat Mineral Springs & Spa

Omg omg omg!
What a place! This is just a fantastic place!
I took my partner here for Xmas for his present! OMG you felt like you where in japan! Driving up to this place you wouldn’t think it existed! Located high on the mountains through off road tracks! You turn the corner in and BAM you see this beautiful bamboo gate and it already feels like japan!
We went here for a massage treatment! As we walked through the entrance we were greeted by a host who new my name before introduction (they new my booking remembers my name and had everything ready for the time of arrival)!!
We were seated in the dining/​bar area to fill out some forms with a nice green tea to enjoy whilst sitting on a lovely long couch with a view of their outside garden and décor!
We were then shown to the massage room, a hut with two massage tables overlooking an amazing water fountain! Whistle getting the massage with beautiful aroma door left slightly open to hear the treakling of the outside water fountain!
Massage was great, they made sure it was good the whole way through! After the massage shown back to dinning room
To have some more green tea and green tea cake to relax and recoup before our journey home.
Service was brilliant. Yes it is a little bit pricey but it was worth every cent :-) loved it and will be back to try out the mineral spas and the authentic Japanese hut for accommodation!

Hidden away from the city of Melbourne the Japanese Mountain Retreat is at the foot of the Dandenong Mountains accessible through a few small roads.
We booked a spa session for two and here are the prices below.
60 Mins Outdoor 1 – 3 People $ 99 pp 4 + $ 75 pp
90 Minutes Outdoor 1 — 3 people $ 149 pp 4 people $ 125 pp
When we arrived, there was plenty of parking and it was just so QUIET and peaceful.
We signed in and were shown to our private bath area that had a small change room, and a large spa with a small garden on the edges and tables and chairs.
Quiet music was played and the spa has a bubble machine if you like that but it was just soothing and relaxing.
The bathrooms are shared with the spa next to you but are clean and easily accessible.
For the price you pay, it is relaxing however a bit pricey for me and I wouldn’t go very often. It has a complete different feel than the Penninsula Hot Springs such as no kids running around and is very exclusive. They do other packages such as dinner and accommodation however be prepared to leave a big hole in your wallet!
