NEED A MASSAGE……
Situated only two minutes from Daylesford on the Hepburn Rd, Peppershell Place offers a tranquil bush setting while still being in the Daylesford township. After driving through the picket gateway and tree lined drive, your path meanders through cottage gardens abundant with old world roses and flowering camellias. The entrance to Peppershell Place has a large verandah with seating for those who like to sit before or after their treatment and watch the bird life abundant in the gardens or just take in the tranquility - the bliss of just being.
Two massage studios overlook picturesque gardens, with wattles and blue gums framing the Doctor’s Gully landscape beyond. High cathedral ceilings and exposed beams enhance the warm and stylish environment. Soothing music, heated massage tables and aromatic oils ease your mind as experienced and highly qualified therapists blend ancient and modern techniques to release tension and muscular restrictions from your body. Connected to the studio is a large dual spa. Imagine soaking away your aches and forgetting your worries while luxuriating in essential oils and aromatic bubbles, sipping on sparkling mineral water with a background of flickering candles....
