Pay R69 for a Swedish back and neck massage worth R150 at Bloemspa (save 54%)

Bloemfontein is popularly known by three names: the city of roses, the fountain of flowers and the place of cheetahs. No one knows why it’s the “place of the cheetahs” and to be honest there aren’t many roses in winter. The only name that really rings true, through all the seasons, is “the fountain of flowers”, especially at BloemSpa. See why with today’s Groupon: Pay R69 for a Swedish Back & Neck Massage at BloemSpa.

Situated in the Hotel though far away from the hustle and bustle, everything about BloemSpa is relaxing -  from the flowers in the trees to the bees that zoom around in them to collect pollen. In fact you may not even realise once you’ve walked inside the actual spa as it’s just that tranquil. Take a moment beside the pool before your treatment or simply relax in the waiting room.

Once your treatment begins you will be transported to an even more tranquil place as the therapist’s fingers begin to massage all the stresses away. A Swedish back and neck massage will take you back to the days when all you had to do was play with a few blocks and learn that flowers were for smelling and not eating.

Each of the therapists will be fully in tune with your body’s specific needs and will alter the way they administer the Swedish neck and back massage accordingly. In fact, rumour has it that each of them comes from Sweden, or resembles the Swedish. Either way they are masters in their trade and will ensure you know so before you leave.

Spar fact #823: Many therapists test the strength of their fingers by snapping two year old peanut brittle in half. They keep this brittle in the back of the jar cupboard and don’t let any light near it.
