Along stretch away from the typical night out on the town most brides and grooms-to-be arrange for their hens and bucks, this South Perth staycation offers the complete opposite of that. A twist on the traditional hens and bucks celebration, a chic and classic hotel staycation with the perks of sauna and spa facilities is the ultimate wellness retreat all couples should splurge on before their wedding day. Pagoda Resort & Spa features a heated outdoor pool and sauna, and all rooms aside from the accessible rooms come with their own individual spa baths. Perched upon the beautiful Swan River, the resort radiates tranquillity and peace of mind.
Soak Up The Serenity
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, staycations have become a popular holiday among many. Naturally, most hens and bucks events were delayed and many opted to do something more ‘lowkey’ than the typical night out during the pandemic and lockdown. Peterson says that “we have also seen the nature of hens and bucks events move to be more inclusive and combine all family and friends.” As well as unwinding amongst the steam and stillness of a spa, Peterson says that “the traditional intimate high tea bridal showers for ten to twenty guests in our Waterwall Restaurant are still as popular but there is an increase for private events for high tea, banquet and buffet-style events for forty to fifty guests.”
The stillness of the water beside the venue makes Pagoda Resort & Spa an idyllic and calming location. Weekends away have become an increasingly popular trend over recent years and this relaxing venue in South Perth is the perfect place to unwind. Peterson expands on this, saying: “The Pagoda being in a tranquil location in South Perth, and just minutes from the city, adds to the feeling of being ‘away’ on a staycation without having to spend hours travelling to ‘get away’. You can spend your time better by relaxing by our resort pool, indulging in your beverage of choice or lapping it up in your own spa bath in your ensuite.”
Unwind In Style
Consider a high-class hotel staycation as your pamper time before your wedding day. With the facilities found at a spa resort, brides and grooms-to-be can unwind and relieve any tension or stress they are holding before their big day. Guests at Pagoda Resort & Spa can enjoy the individual spa bath that comes in every room. Peterson says, “Everyone loves relaxing in a spa bath and there is no better way than relaxing in the comfort and privacy of your own room. Most of our spa baths are two-person spas.” With these unique features to your room, guests do not have to go far to enjoy the spa facilities on offer. As well as the spa baths, the hotel offers a heated outdoor swimming pool, a sauna and a fitness centre where bustling brides can truly relax.
The allure to South Perth as a staycation for so many Western Australians is the tranquillity that this location emanates. As a serene and relaxing environment, South Perth is the perfect choice for hens and bucks celebrations if they are looking to indulge in this calm before the storm. Peterson can vouch for this, stating: “The city of South Perth is an amazing area. It is tranquil, with lots of greenery, gorgeous mature trees and foliage and our beautiful Swan River at its doorsteps and a lovely backdrop.” After getting some deserved pamper time, the location also has a wide range of activities available for hens and bucks parties. Knowing the location, Peterson says that “there are lots of things to do in this area.” Everything from golfing to enjoying the fabulous view from the South Perth foreshore and discovering the Historic Como Jetty, South Perth as well as its popular cafes and restaurants have an abundance to offer hens and bucks parties.
