REVIEW: Solar Springs

As our lives become increasingly technologically addicted and connected to work, a weekend escape for pampering is becoming ever more valuable. Thankfully just 90 minutes away in the picturesque village of Bundanoon, the Solar Springs Retreat offers an immersive health and wellness program.

During a stay at Solar Springs, whether that be a two-night getaway or a week-long retreat, guests are treated to a specially curated program designed to help them reconnect with nature and themselves. Throughout a stay guests can participate in yoga, pilates, personal training, nature hikes, art classes or meditation sessions.

In our recent experience at Solar Springs we found the yoga to be enjoyable, but tough. The session was certainly a harder workout than anticipated, particularly for a first-timer.

Solar Springs also offer a range of massage, Chinese medicine and day spa treatments. During our weekend getaway we opted for the Earth Element package, which includes a reflexology massage session on the feet and lower legs. These sessions are incredibly relaxing, particularly when combined with a swim and spa session afterwards.

At Solar Springs guests are encouraged to eschew technology for the duration of their stay. Phone use is discouraged in public areas and there are no televisions in the rooms, so be sure to take a good book or iPad if you enjoy a movie to relax at night.

All meals are provided; however, be forewarned that Solar Springs serves an entirely plant-based set menu so be sure to check the offerings before your stay. For us, the breakfasts were always great, with a wide range of fruit available, all paired with delicious freshly made juices. The dinners, on the other hand, were hit and miss for our personal taste. Our favourite was the edamame and zucchini risotto.

Overall Solar Spring is designed for those that want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You can cater the fitness and spiritual experience to your liking, but the food offerings are a little more strict, so be sure to check the menu beforehand.
