Fawkes House Country Spa Retreat Customer Review
"I booked the Weight Loss Wellness Programme at Fawkes House having been stuck at a very
frustrating plateau in my weight loss efforts. I needed some professional and caring help, which was
abundantly provided in the programme personally tailored to my needs.
Caroline is a warm and generous host and provided delicious home‐cooked meals that didn’t feel at
all like a diet. The accommodation and surroundings at Fawkes House are comfortable and tranquil.
Paul, the naturopath, was understanding and supportive. The massages and body treatments left me
feeling very relaxed and well cared for. There’s no complicated eating plan or exercise routine to
follow so it has been very easy to maintain the progress that was kick‐started during my stay.
I am so pleased to report that the end result of all that pampering, combined with acupuncture and
natural supplements, is that I have lost 4.1kg in the four weeks since I went to Fawkes House. I am
back on track and very grateful for all the help I received.
I would recommend this programme to anyone who needs a start, re‐start or just a booster in their
weight loss efforts. It’s certainly working for me."

Holistic Health in the Perth Hills
Think of health spas and retreats and images of exotic Asian resorts may come to mind. But such attention to luxury and wellbeing is now on offer closer to home in Western Australia’s very own Perth Hills.
Nestled in the blissful Carmel Valley, the heritage-listed Fawkes House now provides not only charming bed and breakfast accommodation set amid sprawling cottage gardens, but also a host of luxurious, live-in wellness programs.
It has teamed up with a range of health professionals to provide holistic health packages that help guests relax, rejuvenate or kick unwanted habits. Just imagine having your own team of personal assistants working together with the sole aim of making you feel your best!
Guests may be seeking simply to relax and rejuvenate, perhaps they’d like to give up smoking, or maybe it’s a total detox they’re after.
Whatever the case, Fawkes House owner Caroline Babbage pledges to help guests find the wellness package that suits.
Caroline says Fawkes House differs from other local spa providers by providing five or three-day packages developed by a range of professionals across the health and wellness industries.
“For example, we use a naturopath to develop programs, considering everything from lifestyle and diet to a guest’s personal aspirations,” she said.
“We have a team of eight fully qualified and professional masseurs for massages and spa treatments.
“And we can also offer acupressure to people who may be looking to give up smoking or lose weight.”
Combine this health expertise with Caroline’s professional cooking experience and the charming surrounds of historical buildings and quaint, riotously colourful cottage gardens and you’re starting to get the picture.
Each of the wellness programs comes complete with full luxury accommodation, naturopathic advice, co-ordination between wellness services, personalised food and drink menu prepared daily on the premises and spa treatments designed to support the individualised program.
A qualified naturopath conducts a full consultation two weeks before the stay. This consultation provides information for the creation of the personalised retreat program, complete with eating and lifestyle advice.
Guests indulging on a five-day program will also receive a mid-week check up and all guests receive a follow-up phone consultation three to four weeks after their stay.
One of the most popular programs is the vitality and wellbeing package – a five-day program designed to enhance your energy by improving cellular function, replenish energy pathways and increase your sense of wellbeing, while gently moving and eliminating toxins.
A magical blend of specialised herbs, nutrients and antioxidants are used, together with specially selected and deliciously prepared foods, to help bring about a greater sense of wellbeing and vitality.
The spa treatments included in this program use energising, invigorating and uplifting oils, intensely purifying salts and clays, and various forms of massage techniques to invigorate the body, revitalise the skin and awaken the senses.
They include head massages, papyrus massage and aromatic vitamin treatment, total detox spa treatment, hot stone massage and other luxuries to help you rejuvenate.
A three-day version of the vitality and wellbeing package is also available. Then there’s the five or three-day detoxifying and toning package, the five or three- day total de-stress package and the ‘time for a change’ packages (like quit smoking or weight loss) – a host of ways to truly take time out and indulge.
For more information go to the website www.fawkeshouse.com.au.
