Meet your Host

Meet Mel, your host and a dedicated wellness expert with over two decades of experience in the industry. From owning an AVEDA spa in Germany to mastering holistic, anti-ageing treatments, Mel has spent her career helping others feel their best. Known for her meticulous attention to detail and innovative techniques, she was among the first to introduce microdermabrasion in the late ’90s.

Inspired by her passion for nature, design, and wellness, Mel has created a serene lakeside retreat where guests can relax and reconnect. Drawing from her global travels, she has carefully designed the cabin to offer a peaceful escape, complete with amenities like a sauna and hot tub to enhance your stay. Always attentive, Mel shares personalised tips and videos to ensure guests make the most of their experience.

At Mel’s lakeside sanctuary, you’ll feel rejuvenated, grounded, and cared for in a space where relaxation meets thoughtful design—all with stunning views of Lough Derg.
