The Wellness Retreat
The Wellness Retreat at Stonewalls Musk is the culmination of everything the estate stands for — beauty, care, craft and the restorative power of the natural world. Set within the private gardens — in its own private walled garden — the retreat draws on our mineral spring, herbal healing garden, sauna and cold plunge to create a wellness experience unlike anything else in the Central Highlands.
What sets it apart from Hepburn's celebrated tradition is the garden itself — treatments use fresh herbs grown on the property, cold plunge sessions end with tea picked that morning, and the garden is always close. This is garden-to-spring wellness.

The Difference
Hepburn Springs has 130 years of mineral bathing tradition. We have something they don't — a private herbal healing garden, growing lavender, chamomile, rosemary, mint, lemon balm and eucalyptus, all used fresh in every treatment.
Our therapists blend custom oils and scrubs from the garden on the day of your treatment. Cold plunge sessions end with herbal tea picked that morning. Post-massage, you're invited for a 15-minute guided garden walk that does as much for the nervous system as the treatment itself. This isn't spa in the hotel sense. It's something slower, more personal, more rooted in place.
"Not a spa in the conventional sense — something more personal, more considered, and more aligned with the landscape."
The Healing Garden
Lavender, chamomile, rosemary, mint, lemon balm and eucalyptus — growing steps from where every treatment begins.

The Facilities

Private mineral spring bathing — solo or couples. Choose herbal-infused salts from the garden, or a classic milk bath with oat and lavender.

Traditional dry sauna. The starting point for contrast therapy — heat that opens, relaxes and prepares the body for the cold plunge.

Nordic-style cold immersion with guided breathing. The contrast between sauna and plunge is one of the most effective recovery and restoration practices available.

A dedicated treatment room for massage, facials and body treatments. All treatments use oils and scrubs blended from herbs grown in our healing garden.

Relax on private day beds within the enclosed medicinal garden — a quiet place to stretch out between treatments, surrounded by the herbs used in your session.
The Ritual
Heat, water, cold, rest. Sauna and mineral spring, repeated in cycles, closed with garden tea.
