Japanese Mountain Retreat

Hidden between the trees and the mountains in the Dandenong Ranges (and only 45 minutes from Melbourne) is the Japanese Mountain Retreat. If you’re loved up, this is the place to go. The retreat caters very well to couples, offering getaway packages for those wishing to celebrate special milestones or occasions. The natural mineral waters at the Japanese Mountain Retreat are heated between 37 and 40 degrees, and you can choose bathe privately in private outdoor pools or in the Roman bathhouse. Bathing starts at $105 per person for 50 minutes. You can also opt for a private bathing session plus a yum cha lunch, which is $160 per person.
