A HYDROTHERAPY AND AROMATHERAPY SPA TO SOAK IN
The therapy spa with its own waterfall is sunken into a garden deck under a Japanese-style pagoda. You will never experience a spa like it! Truly, the Rolls Royce of spas.

A GREAT LOCATION NEAR NATURE WALKS AND BEACHES
Relax and soothe those sore muscles in the spa after a gorgeous bushwalk from Crackneck Lookout, a five minute walk away in the Wyrrabalong National Park. From there, you can walk north to Bateau Bay Beach for a swim and sunbake (a five minute walk) or south to Forresters Beach for a coastal walk with beautiful views over the ocean and marvellous wildflowers in the spring.
There are spectacular ocean and coastal panoramas and the walking tracks have boardwalks and timber steps with railings and seats at viewing spots. Crackneck and Shelley Beach are also top surfing spots.
Crackneck Lookout is one of the best whale watching locations on the Central Coast in the winter months so bring your binoculars to catch a glimpse of these wonderful humpback whales migrating north to breed and give birth in the warmer tropical waters.
