7 Tips to a Successful Hens Getaway at Zensi Retreat
Immerse in the essence of ZEN and complete luxury as you plan your exclusive hens getaway at Zensi Retreat. With vast serene landscapes, our retreat offers an earthy backdrop that merges with the opulent interiors and exteriors, the ultimate setting for those unforgettable moments with your closest friends. Here are seven personal tips from the Zensi Team to ensure your hens getaway is nothing short of perfect!
1. Embrace the art of slowing down
At Zensi Retreat, we KNOW the power of slowing down the pace.. The rush of life, the hustle of wedding prep, it can impact your nervous system.. So let this weekend be about basking in peacefulness, with in-house spa treatments and facilities to use at your own leisure, include a service of guided meditation / yoga sessions, or simply immerse in the restorative environment of the natural surroundings. Let the stillness transform your hens getaway into a rejuvenating experience that you can all leave nourished from the inside out. At Zensi Retreat, we encourage you to embrace leisurely mornings, enjoy meaningful conversations by the fireplace, and relish in the luxury of taking it slow! We also suggest that you do not rush your stay, it takes time to transition from regular life to ‘mindful relaxing hens vibe’
2. Don’t over pack the itinerary!
Every group is unique with different needs and visions. The Zensi Team can help put together the hens itinerary and get you in touch with all the services you may need… The ONLY suggestion.. Don’t over pack the getaway! Sometimes free-time is the best time!
You may want to include a yoga session in the morning (Good Culture Club Mudgee), a culinary workshop (think pottery or a health-considerate cocktail or cooking class with Little cooking school), in-house sunset wine tasting (Lowes Family Wine Co, Lazy Oak wines) an in-house dining experience or spa treatments (Energy healing massages), if you want to venture out, some of the top wineries, restaurants, cafes and explorations are all between 5-17 minutes away!
3. Connect with Nature
Our retreat is a sanctuary of emphasizing natural beauty. Take the 7km loop walk nearby, chat with our animals amongst the paddocks, enjoy outdoor dining, hanging by the fire under the stars, or simply admire the stunning views from the 3.2 m floor to ceiling glass windows. Connecting with nature is not just an activity, it's part of the Zensi experience.
4. Indulge in the culinary restaurants and cafes in Mudgee
Become one with the seasonal fresh produce from the expert chefs sprinkled through all of Mudgee’s restaurants, cafes (check out our restaurant and cafe blog HERE) and wineries (winery blog HERE). Spoil yourselves with a farm-to-table in-house dining experiences, long luncheons at Zin house or 6 course degustations at Pipeclay pumphouse, every meal is a celebration and a sharing of togetherness.
5. Consider how you want to FEEL during and AFTER your hens
It can be easy to get swept up and to steered in a certain direction when it comes to the planning prep and ideas with multiple people involved... The important part is to envision how YOU want to feel at your hens and also the aftermath (hey, we’ve all had that next day regret or the wisdom from the day after, probably more than once..) so check in with your true wants whilst forging your special getaway into reality!
6. Capture the meaningful moments
While we advocate for digital hygiene, we also understand the importance of capturing those invaluable memories… Designate a time for photos in the most picturesque spots of our retreat (which there are so many, so you may need a photoshoot around the whole space!..) we also suggest discussing tech boundaries for group presence whilst sharing this special experience together, the vibe of the tribe all being mindful members makes a major difference to connection and team dynamic!
7. rest AND play!
Above all, a hens getaway is a celebration. With group activities, share stories around the lounge, laugh, sing, rest, sleep in.. Have a wine, enjoy sauna time.. Create a balance of what brings you happiness and nourishment.
Follow these tips to ensure your getaway is filled with laughter, restoration, and moments that you'll treasure forever before you sign your life away.. (joking!)
