Situated on a grand 19th-century estate among four stunning hectares of formal English gardens, Mansion Hotel & Spa is an entire world apart. A truly spiritual experience, from the moment you sight the spectacular grounds, you’ll feel in awe of Mansion’s rich history, grand architecture and unparalleled elegance.
The experience
Mansion Hotel & Spa is the perfect place to relax and reconnect. Wander through thousands of roses and lush manicured gardens, discover the historic Chirnside mansion, spot native wildlife and plants by the natural riverine, swim in the stunning indoor pool or reinvigorate your spirit with the fitness facilities. As you enter the spa, with windows looking to beautiful gumtrees, and relax with a cup of herbal tea, you’ll be filled with a powerful sense of purpose and place.
Ranked in the top 25 Hotels in Australia by TripAdvisor, the Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park captures the very essence of boutique accommodation. The luxuriously appointed guest rooms are individual and sophisticated, representing everything you would expect of a contemporary five-star hotel. What sets the Mansion Hotel & Spa apart, however, is the place itself: a magnificent 1870 historic mansion and 1923 Catholic seminary surrounded by four hectares of formal English gardens just 30 minutes from Melbourne CBD.
The Mansion’s Heritage Rooms were once home to students of St Joseph’s Seminary and have been transformed in accordance with strict heritage guidelines to offer modern amenities while retaining their rich tradition and period features. The more generously spaced Junior Suites and Superior Rooms were added when architecture firm Wood Marsh transformed the property into the multi-award-winning boutique hotel you see today; a property that may bewilder the old seminarians but which pays homage to its past as a peaceful retreat for escape and contemplation.
The treatments
With services intuitive to your needs, experienced therapists will help you melt away tension and restore a sense of serenity. The Mansion Hotel & Spa menu includes signature massages, hand and foot rituals, skin-perfecting Payot facials, specialised men’s treatments, pregnancy therapies and indulgent packages. To complement your experience, the spa offers a private hammam steam chamber and rain shower or exclusive spa soak to unwind and prepare your body for treatment.
The famous Payot skin treatments include the sublime Hydratation Essentielle, a moisturising face ritual that involves a series of soothing serums and moisture-rich masks to infuse and replenish skin for a healthy, plumped, refreshed complexion, as well as the advanced Detox Absolu that stimulates the skin’s micro circulation to restore luminous radiance.
To gently ease tension and fatigue, a hot stone massage will bring your body and energy into full alignment while relieving tight muscles. Alternately, you can experience perfect harmony with a sugar scrub and detoxifying, cleansing mud treatment in your own private hammam, followed by a relaxation massage to soothe and calm the body, mind and soul.
For the ultimate spa experience, treat yourself to the Moroccan Melt three-hour Ritual, starting with a heavenly sugar scrub and private steam to revitalise skin and clear the mind, followed by a full-body therapeutic massage, a restorative botanical facial and rich orange crème hair treatment massaged through the hair and scalp to induce deep meditation.
Whether only for 30 minutes or a whole day, Mansion’s celebrated spa will awaken a feeling of inner peace that lingers long after you leave.
The food
Mansion Hotel & Spa is home to Joseph’s Restaurant & Bar. Brimming with ingredients harvested fresh from the on-site community garden, artisan produce and warm, authentic service, the restaurant begs you to slow down and soak in the beautiful garden views.
For a truly memorable experience, book a Spa & Lunch Package to enjoy a beautiful spa treatment of your choice and delicious two-course lunch in Joseph’s Restaurant with a glass of the Lancemore Group’s very own five-star Halliday-rated Lindenderry wine.
