Set amidst five peaceful acres of the Dandenong Ranges, Alisa Day Spa offers a day of pampering in a setting of unparalleled tranquillity. A relaxing skin brush sets the lavish tone before cricked and cramped peeps melt like butter with a full body massage, choosing between the languid pleasures of Swedish massage or the therapeutic relief of deep tissue massage. Just when Groupies think it’s safe to stop relaxing, the therapists hit them with a sea salt foot scrub and calf exfoliation followed by an aromatic oil massage. Those with toes that need no twinkling can opt for the second package to replace the foot treatment with Alisa’s trademark facial, including a deep cleanse, exfoliation and face massage as well as lavender and rose face masks. Alisa’s facial utilizes 100% natural and organic products from Perfect Potion and Perse to ensure that skin is left feeling silky and smooth. Groupies with hearts in their eyes and knots in their back opt for the couple’s package, where each lovebird chooses from the above packages before enjoying their treatments in a special couple’s room. Groupies receive a $30 voucher towards a future massage, a $40 voucher towards a future facial and a $40 voucher towards a night or weekend stay at Sunrise View Bed and Breakfast.

Set within five acres of garden and lush rainforest, Alisa Day Spa offers nature itself as the perfect complement to its pampering packages. Immersed in birdsong and the aromas of blooming flowers, the day spa offers genuine escape from the stress of everyday life. The day spa’s team of experienced and qualified therapists bring a professional edge to this bucolic setting, performing a range of pampering and therapeutic treatments.
