HILLTOP BISTRO
Sharing Food
Our Hilltop Bistro offers a relaxed and informal setting with stunning views over the countryside.
Our menu has been created with our passion for nutritious, wholesome food. Enjoy a three-course lunch including shared starters, a main meal, and shared platters of our delicious cakes…all handcrafted by our talented chefs, using produce grown from our garden and from local restorative farmers.
RELAX TOGETHER
Hilltop Bathing
Your team will have the option to finish the day relaxing in our Scandinavian-inspired bathing area. This includes access to all our Hilltop Bathing facilities, including woodfired hot tubs, Finnish-style saunas, and energising cold plunge pools.
Our team has been crafting and operating our red cedar wood-fired hot tubs and saunas for over 15 years at corporate events and for the general public. We have become known for our professionalism, quality service, and exceptional hygiene standards.
Health Benefits
Our customers come to our Hilltop in need of relaxation, and they leave feeling peaceful and glowing. It's more than just a great feeling; there is also science-backed physical renewal that comes from immersive bathing experiences.
Hot Water & Sauna:
Boosts mood and releases endorphins, aids sleep, relieves muscle pain, helps circulation, reduces blood pressure, helps release toxins and impurities, and supports lymphatic drainage.
Cold Water Bathing:
Increases alertness, increases mental resilience, improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and releases endorphins
Contrasting:
Cycling through exposure to hot and cold temperature changes. This is an exercise for your blood vessels; in heat, they relax, and in cold, they contract, pumping blood, lymph, and endorphins around your body.
