Start your romantic trip nice and slow with a dip at the heated outdoor pool. Surrounded by a lush garden with wide open spaces, the pool is the ideal place to unwind, relax and bask in each other’s company. 

Pamper your significant other with an exclusive spa. At Endota Spa, choose from a series of treatments, which includes facials, massage and beauty services. Just let loose and relax while the experienced hands of massage therapists work to release any tensions from your body. 

There is nothing better than to be in nature with your significant other. Go for a walk and a history lesson at the nearby Glen Waverley History Walk. Admire the old structures dating over 100 years ago along your walk while taking the time to connect with each other. 

Can’t get enough of nature? Head to the Bushy Park Wetlands for some bird watching. Over 90 bird species call this nature wonderland home, ranging from water to bushland and farmland birds. Make it a friendly competition to see who can spot more avian species. See who will be the first to spot birds such as the boisterous Pelican, elegant White Ibis, and regal Brown Falcon.
