Make it a Mudgee Mum-day - our guide to spoiling mum with a self-care retreat
Mother’s Day is right around the corner (PSA: it’s Sunday, May 10) - but in a world where experiences surpass material gifts, consider this your go-to guide for planning the perfect Mudgee/Bliss Stays escape with your mum.
Massages, yoga, saunas, farm walks & delicious long lunches - this is how you say thank you to the mum in your life.
Private yoga or pilates
Whether you’ve got a mindful yoga mum or an empowered pilates mum, Mudgee + Bliss Stays has your nourishing movement faves covered.
Rest & recalibrate with a private one-hour yoga session with local teacher Hannah from Good Culture Club or reinvigorate with your choice of pilates, breathwork & guided ice baths with Angus & Alicia from Breath.Body.Balance.
Saunas & ice baths
Visit Sense of Solis in the heart of Mudgee for an exquisite wellness reset. Enjoy the soothing embrace of your private sauna to melt away stress & tension, immerse yourself in the therapeutic waters of an ice bath, or book both for the ultimate holistic experience.
Take a (farm) walk on the wild side
Go behind-the-scenes of Aril Estate on an idyllic farm tour. Guided by a member of the Aril Estate team, you'll get a first-hand look at the pomegranate & olive groves, visit the olive press & see it in action as it makes Aril Estate's award-winning olive oil.
The tour wraps up at Aril Estate's cellar door, where you'll enjoy a free tasting of their fermented olives & oils, pomegranate syrups, molasses & jams.
Pamper mum with an in-house treatment
Make mum feel like the queen she is, with some well-deserved pampering with beauty therapist Nik Wootton. Book a relaxing in-house massage or hydrating facial, or get glammed up for a night out with flawless make-up - all from the comfort of your Bliss home.
Treat mum to a long lunch at Lowe Wines
Treat mum to a classic long lunch at Lowe, where you’ll kick things off with a complimentary glass of Jodie, before enjoying a leisurely three-course lunch inspired by the last produce of the autumn season. From 1pm until 4pm, enjoy views over Mudgee’s hills & let mum put her feet up & enjoy being spoiled.
