Her 80th birthday present – II

Day 3

Homestead Brewery

Baudin’s Macadamia

Had a therapeutic walk at the Swan River in Maylands before our afternoon tea.


Day 4

After breakfast, we went for coffee and shopped for a couple of hours at Watertown Brand Outlet.

Dinner was with Sis’ friends and their family.


Day 5

We had to check out at 10am. Too wasteful to throw away the leftover food (like bacon & bread) as it was not nice to leave them to the host.

Next stop was Fremantle, it was only a 10-minute drive.

A Lil BD Treat

Montigo Spa
Welcome drink… Nice.
On the way to my massage room

Walking to a nice sea front room

Semi outdoor bathroom

Started with a foot scrub in front of the sea
It was so therapeutic listening to the ocean waves while enjoying the 90-minute massage
Meanwhile, hubz was very well treated by the friendly staff.
Ginger tea with generous serving of raw honey.
And the company of many chickens
My post massage refreshment

The experience was an extremely pleasant one. It was definitely pricier than other massages in Batam. But with the level of services provided, it was still much cheaper than those provided by Singapore’s 4 to 5 stars hotels.

Montigo Spa, I will be back!

Getaway for 2018 Birthdays

Both of us are March babies and we wanted to go for a getaway to celebrate our birthdays. We decided on Montigo and it would be our second visit.


Enjoying the sun, pool & sea view


We had a nice time walking around and exploring the resort. It was much developed compared to our first visit in 2013 when it was only a few months after they opened.


Hubz arranged a birthday surprise for me as my birthday was on the second day of our stay.


Pampered myself with a nice body scrub & massage treatment on my birthday.

It was indeed a very wonderful short holiday 💕
