If you’ve been running fast on tight deadlines, poor self-care and maybe a bit too much screen time, it might be time to head to Albury Wodonga.
If it’s calm you’re after, Albury Wodonga is ready to meet you, feed you and give you space to breathe. Here’s your down-to-earth guide to a little self-care for the body, mind and belly.
Day Spas, Body and Soul
Basq Urban Spa and Beauty
Shoulders up around your ears? Basq in South Albury has you sorted. Facials, massages, skin treatments, infrared saunas – the works. These folks know how to hard-reset your nervous system.
The Ritual Skin Studio
The Ritual is the place to go for deep rest and a nourishing skin treatment. Choose from a range of skin or beauty services, surrender to a massage or treat yourself to a package. The Ritual Indulgence package includes 3 hours of full-body bliss, including champagne and a platter.
Self Pilates Wodonga
For those who like their self-care with a side of core strength, Self Pilates delivers. This beautiful boutique studio offers reformer and mat classes in a calm, contemporary space.
Relaxing Bushwalks and Riverside Strolls
Wonga Wetlands
Though you’ll only be a few minutes from town, you’ll enter a peaceful pocket of nature where turtles, frogs and 155 identified species of birds are doing their thing. Wander the network of walking trails under the ancient red gums and hunt out the six bird hides to test your wildlife watching skills. Bring a thermos so you can wander longer and let the stillness of the Wonga Wetlands settle any racing thoughts.
The Crossing Place
Walk in the footsteps of the Wiradjuri people along the Murray River. The Crossing Place is a site rich with cultural significance. You’ll be surrounded by native bushland as you meander along an easy path, taking in the ancient stories that are the beating heart of this region.
Lake Hume Walking Track
Up for a longer walk? Lake Hume’s views will soothe the soul, and the path is mostly flat and easy underfoot. Bring a bike if you prefer to roll, or skip the cardio and roll out a BYO cheese platter – and enjoy the tranquillity.
Good Eats in Town
SEN
Elegant and effortlessly cool, SEN brings elevated Asian fusion to central Albury. With cocktails, inventive dishes and a sleek fit-out, it’s perfect for those who love Vietnamese cuisine with a modern twist.
DUX
On Dean Street in the centre of it all, you’ll find DUX, an upmarket restaurant that offers exceptional dining and signature cocktails among moody lighting and music. This will hit the spot whether you’re stopping for a long lunch or a sophisticated meal out.
Level One Wine Bar and Restaurant
If you’re up for something fancy but still friendly, Level One is the place to go. Great wine, a regularly updated seasonal menu, a toasty fire in winter and, in the summer, open windows overlooking all the action on Dean Street.
Boutique Stays for Your Getaway
Quest Albury
Comfortable, convenient and right in the thick of it. Endota Spa and 2640 Restaurant & Bar are just downstairs, or a short walk will take you to eateries, galleries and parks aplenty. Staying at Quest Albury is like having the town on speed dial.
Hilda’s Place
For some modern, minimalist-inspired luxury, Hilda’s Place is a three-bedroom townhouse just a short stroll from all the action – with plenty of space to host a relaxing getaway.
Albury Wodonga Apartments
You’ll find a range of self-contained stays on both sides of the river – from cosy one-bedroom units to full-sized homes for those who like their creature comforts. Albury Wodonga Apartments is the ideal base for exploring by day and retreating to plush bedding by night.
