What are your favourite recommendations for activities and experiences on property at Bowie House?

One of my favourite experiences at Bowie House is visiting the Ash Spa, where a non-sleep deep massage or curated infrared therapy is a wonderful way to relax and restore.

To fully immerse yourself in the Western Spirit, we would recommend the Spirits of The West and Heel Toe Split, where guests can start with a guided tasting at The Bar, led by our bartending team, learning about the flavors and stories behind each spirit.
