Wellness tourism has lost the plot...
$400 sound baths. Linen kaftans. Marble bathhouses. None of it actually fixes the week you just had 😅
Here`s what a wellness weekend should look like instead: two days in Wollongong, built around cold water, warm wood, green therapy and good food.
Who`s ready? 😍
