Wellness Experiences
Indulge in a little forest-bathing, and book a Wonder Wander with Making Your Way. Jo is a local psychotherapist with a love of the great outdoors. The restorative and nourishing effects of spending time in nature are well documented –from reducing stress hormones and blood pressure, to boosting problem-solving and creativity.
Why not compliment this with a massage? A Hastings Home Spa masseuse will deliver your treatment in the comfort of the lodge for total relaxation.
