Hot Tub In The Bush

The hot tub at the Bush Retreat is an adventure all of its own. The walk through the bush to reach the hot tub is spectacular. Tiptoe over the knarled toes of the bush giants, and slip past their enormous woven limbs, before reaching the hot tub perfectly positioned beneath their canopy.
