点评:Looking for a gift for someone that has everything. Then why not an experience!
My husband and I took our mothers for a Punt on the Lake for a belated Mothers Day gift.
Little hint Mothers Day has the Mothers Day Classic for Breast Cancer around the Botanical Gardens and can get a little busy.
We booked in advance, with not a problem via online booking, you can also book on the day if there are spaces.
This was the best gift, atmosphere and environment and the staff were amazing. Both our mothers are in their late 70's and early 80's.
We arrived early for a stroll around the gardens and ended up at the Terrace for a cuppa, which we took on our boat. Would be lovely with a glass of bubbles (table provided for drinks). We were given parasols and a blanket as the sun was warm but the breeze a tad cool.
The day was amazing, the Bell Birds were singing and there honestly was no need to speak...
There was a little hiccup at the beginning as mum decided she wanted to change her seating position and couldn't get up - however it did cause a few giggles. If you have gammy knees or are unable to get yourself up off the floor, it is probably wise to think about how you are going to get out of the boat. You WILL get out, you may just require someone strong, to be able to get you to your feet. Or you could crawl out of the boat onto the deck and then stand from the deck as my mother-in-law thought she may.
However, this is a fantastic idea for a gift, a romantic date, even just a mental health day. Follow it up by a picnic and people watch or a short drive to Sth Melbourne Market, as we did.
A beautiful day ones our mums won't forget in a hurry.
Thank you to the friendly staff, who go above and beyond and to Sam our knowledgeable punt man. "Punting On The Lake" - we defiantly will be back! 10/10
翻译:想给什么都有的人送一份礼物,那就体验一下吧!
我和丈夫带着妈妈们去湖上泛舟,作为迟来的母亲节礼物。
温馨提示:母亲节期间,植物园附近会举办“母亲节乳腺癌经典活动”,可能会有点拥挤。
我们提前预订了,网上预订没问题,如果当天还有空位,也可以预订。
这是最好的礼物,氛围和环境都很棒,工作人员也很棒。我们的母亲都快八十岁了。
我们早早到达,想在花园里散步,最后在露台上喝了杯茶,然后带上了船。如果能再来一杯气泡酒就更好了(提供桌子放饮料)。阳光很温暖,但微风略微凉爽,酒店为我们准备了遮阳伞和毯子。
这一天真是太棒了,钟鸟在歌唱,真的,我都不用说话了……
一开始出了点小岔子,妈妈想换个座位,结果起不来——不过这确实逗得大家咯咯笑了几声。如果你膝盖酸软,或者无法从地上站起来,最好想想怎么下船。你肯定能出来,只是需要一个强壮的人扶你起来。或者你也可以爬到甲板上,然后像我婆婆想的那样,从甲板上站起来。
不过,这绝对是个很棒的礼物,可以作为浪漫的约会,甚至可以作为心理健康日。之后可以去野餐,看看人来人往,或者像我们一样,驱车去南墨尔本市场。
美好的一天,我们的妈妈们一定会永生难忘。
感谢热情友好的工作人员,他们无微不至,也感谢我们经验丰富的撑篙船夫Sam。 “湖上撑篙”——我们一定会再来的!10/10
