Visitors to the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra can now unwind with a relaxing massage or pampering session at the luxurious new Jindii EcoSpa.

Multi-award winning Canberra business Jindii EcoSpa adds to the  suite of services people can enjoy in the Gardens, from traditional favourites such as the Botanical Bookshop and Floresco in the Gardens cafe through to recent initiatives including Sunset Cinema, Commbank Flix in the Stix, a range of themed afterDARK tours and Flora Explorer electric bus tours.

VisitCanberra Director Ian Hill said the luxury offering at the Australian National Botanic Gardens was a welcome addition to the national capital's options for visitors.

"There's no other place in Canberra that offers such an experience,” he said. “This is an impressive new tourism experience at one of Canberra's favourite attractions to add to your 'bucket list'.”

On offer at the day spa are a range of healing rituals, facial treatments and massages. There are also five treatment rooms with hydro therapy spas and a guest lounge.

Jindii EcoSpa's extensive spa menu uses organic spa products with native ingredients, as well as a suite of lifestyle classes, including yoga, making it a great fit for the natural setting of the Gardens.

To get to the spa, visitors walk along the Joseph Banks Walk, across the Rainforest Gully bridge and past the cafe lawn where they will see a large variety of Australia native plants.

Set on 35 hectares of landscaped gardens, the Australian National Botanic Gardens features 6300 native plant species — more than a third of all Australian plants.

The spa is open Monday to Saturday between 9am – 6pm and on Sundays from 10am – 4pm. For more information visit www.parksaustralia.gov.au/botanic-gardens/do/jindii.html.
