A Sydney spa hidden off the side of a major highway houses an incredible aquamedic pool and sauna, a nail salon, hair salon and fine dining restaurant.
Gillian Adams Salon, Spa and Dining is in a nondescript white building in Turramurra, off the Pacific Highway, with a simple sign to indicate to would-be customers that total relaxation lies in wait inside.
‘Around 30 years ago the industry was going through a lot of change. I wanted to create a place that set the standard for a true urban spa; an oasis, where guests received the very best,’ Ms Adams wrote.
