A private retreat where facials and massages take place in an old farmhouse, surrounded by greenery and birdsong, in Drury, Papakura. The website describes holistic massage and bespoke facials using botanical-based products, with a limited number of appointments each day. Online booking is available, or guests can use the contact form. Bookings need a 50% deposit. Guests change into a robe and slippers, and the packages include a foot ritual, a welcome drink, and high tea or a snack platter. Bridal and baby shower packages are offered, with cake, flowers and bubbles arranged on request.
Reviewers describe a gorgeous setting, a quaint atmosphere and thoughtful touches, and say they leave feeling renewed. One reviewer had a facial followed by a full body massage so relaxing they fell asleep, and another enjoyed a glass of champagne in the sun after a facial. The website also lists Esse organic skincare products for sale.
