Pay R118 for a pedicure and back, shoulder and scalp massage at Health Hydro, valued at R310 (save 62%)

Within the peaceful walls of the Health Hydro, your body will swiftly surrender itself to the internationally qualified beauty experts who will massage and knead as they see fit. The nimble fingers of these specialists will turn your back, shoulder, scalp and feet into flexible dough-ball glee, sending the aches and pains to the waterways where they’ll be gobbled by fish that exhibit a certain kind of je ne sais quoi.     

Set in the picturesque Le Domaine in Hillcrest, the Health Hydro is a tranquil and serene hideaway surrounded by gardens shaped so handsomely, you’d swear a qualified manicurist was responsible for it. This is not highly unlikely, as the beauticians and therapists at the spa have been known to give the Le Domaine garden staff tips on trimming the hedges. The French feel of the estate combined with the skilful body kneading techniques of the beauty therapists are more than likely to send you into soothing daydreams of French chefs in French bistros on French corners baking French bread…while speaking French.

Body Fact: The film Charn’s house, set in Caledon, was rumoured to have had the longest expense list ever recorded in South African documentary history. A large portion of the expenses was due to tyres being replaced on a regular basis because of the large role that tyre tread patterns had in the film.
