What is the best way to get an appointment at Spa du Sureau?
The best way to get an appointment at the luxurious Spa du Sureau is simply to email or call. When you make your reservation, remember that the Four-Star spa asks that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. If you miss your treatment, you’ll be charged in full, no matter the reason. The strict policy reflects the spa’s isolated location — it doesn’t get many drop-in appointments. When you call, let the staff know a few things: If you have a gender preference for your therapist, tell them when you book. Also, if you’d like to use the spa’s sauna after your treatment, Spa du Sureau needs to know before you arrive.

The Estate at the Elderberries is conveniently located near the south entrance of Yosemite National Park (approximately a 25-minute drive from Oakhurst). This grand national park is considered our biggest attraction in the area and a very big reason why guests come to visit. The park provides magnificent landscapes, great hikes and numerous activities in summer and winter.
In summer, guests can also enjoy water sports at nearby Bass Lake (approximately a 20-minute drive from the estate) or can explore Route 49, which is considered the former gold rush route from Mariposa north to Sonora. This drive is especially recommended during the spring when the wildflowers are blooming and transform the whole landscape into a painter’s palette of vibrant colors.
Wintertime offers skiing at nearby Badger Pass, cross-country skiing, ice-skating at Curry Village or Tenaya Lodge, Horse-Sleigh rides through the winter-wonderland.

Spa du Sureau is located on the 9-acre Estate at the Elderberries on the outskirts of the small town of Oakhurst, Calif. In order to access the local shopping, you will need to use a car. Oakhurst does offer supermarkets, drugstores, a few antique stores as well as some art galleries at Gallery Row. Please do not expect to find any fancy boutiques or clothing stores here — the few clothing stores basically provide everything for enjoying summer and winter outdoors.

The luxe waiting area at Spa du Sureau fuses Art Deco style and the relaxing, spare aesthetic of a traditional spa. All the furnishings and accents are period-accurate Art Deco, down to the stylized lotuses on the light plates. But instead of crowding the space with antiques, there’s only a simple welcome desk, a marble side table and a low couch where guests receive a welcoming footbath.
While you fill out your spa visitor information, you can enjoy a spoonful of wild elderberry honey meant to cleanse your palate and begin the relaxation process. Then, before you enter to receive your treatment, your therapist will give you a footbath with fresh rose petals, massaging and scrubbing your feet and calves until you’re completely relaxed.

To fully appreciate Spa du Sureau, as well as the rest of the estate by the elderberries — the nickname of the Five-Star Château du Sureau — you really must be a bit older. The spa does not allow children to take part in its treatments. While the hotel does not allow guests younger than kindergarten age, if you are staying with an older child, just request a babysitting service from the concierge while you relax at the spa. And if you can’t resist pampering your little one when you return, you can order up an in-room herbal bath for your youngster.

Once you are changed, you’ll be treated to a welcoming footbath and a taste of local elderberry honey.

Spa du Sureau has two full-body scrubs to choose from during your visit. The silk slumber treatment kicks off as your body is buffed with natural sisal, leaving your skin exfoliated and your circulation stimulated. Afterward, warm chamomile compresses prepare your skin for a generous application of rich shea butter. As you are cocooned in warm linens, allowing you body to drink up the moisture from the shea butter, you’ll be treated to a scalp massage. This 60-minute treatment is quite the skin indulgence.
>The second scrub option is the lavender blossom body polish, a longer 90-minute service that will lull you into deep relaxation. After your therapist polishes your body smooth, you will be washed clean with fragrant towels, prepping you for a light massage. Finally, the therapist coats you in a lavender cream wrap and warm linens while you relax, soaking in the moisture to replenish your scrubbed skin.

Spa du Sureau offers an array of wraps, often offered in conjunction with other relaxing and cleansing spa treatments. The lavender blossom body polish begins with a light aromatic towel cleansing and continues with a nourishing lavender cream wrap. You can also indulge in the marine body masque, a blue-green algae and seaweed wrap followed by a Hydrostorm drench, a trip to the therapeutic shower. If you want to try a classic Eastern European kur — a special of Spa du Sureau — the green tea and balneo-peat wrap purifies your skin through antioxidants. For men, the rosemary wrap includes exfoliation using peppermint, sea salts and rosemary and a shea butter massage.

There’s even a honeymoon package for newlyweds staying in the Yosemite region after their nuptials.

There’s an extensive menu of services available at Spa du Sureau, but the five best treatments are all worth making a stop in the little town of Oakhurst, Calif. Here are our top picks:
1. Duet massage. Here, two masseuses simultaneously work their magic — well, it’s almost magic — on you, using rhythmic strokes and reflexology. If your idea of heaven is an hour-long massage with a single masseuse, you must try this one — you’ll never want to go back to just one pair of hands.
2. Thermal mineral kur. Eastern Europeans have taken natural kurs for generations and at Spa du Sureau, you can indulge in the tradition that is known for its health benefits. The thermal mineral kur combines three treatments (green tea and Balneo-Peat wrap, Hydrostorm and classic massage) to balance your metabolic system as well as relax and re-mineralize your skin.
3. Kneipp herbal bath. This is one of the spa’s most economical options, but also one of the most unusual. Though you must add it on to another treatment, this 25-minute bath is definitely worth the extra time. You’ll soak in a concentrated blend of aromatic essential oils designed to revive your body and give you more energy.
4. Hydrostorm. The moment you step foot inside this ultimate thermal shower, you’ll be enveloped by aroma-infused steam. While alternating hot and cold sprays, massaging cascades of water and even artificial raindrops stream over you, the Hydrostorm relieves muscle tension.
5. Elderberry bliss facial. Your aesthetician will use organic elderflowers, sweet milk, calendula and rose oil for hydrated and glowing skin. At the same time, a heated sachet full of native wildflowers will be applied to relax your neck and shoulders, and at the end of the facial, you’ll get a mint spritz to refresh and awaken you.

Spa du Sureau’s Art Deco interior provides a luxe take on common spa décor. Taking its inspiration from turn-of-the-century Parisian chic, the spa’s design is heavy on rich fabrics, stained glass details and true-to-period furniture. The walls are hung with oil paintings in gilded frames depicting women in various states of undress, which encourage even the most modest visitor to dispense with extraneous clothing. The gauzy white curtains give patrons privacy without robbing the space of the spa’s stunning natural light.
>In Spa du Sureau’s waiting room, the walls and ceiling are finished in harmonious shades of buff and celadon. Once again, Art Deco details dominate the room with sharp geometric shapes making appearances from the pendant lamp that hangs from the ceiling to the rhombus-shaped mirror in the entryway.

In the small, private alcove, you’ll lounge on one of the two deep, overstuffed chairs, set up to take advantage of the spa’s warmest and sunniest area. A window to your left opens onto the curtain of greenery that lies beyond the spa building, and though you can’t see it, you can certainly hear the sound of running water from the fountains just outside. A small, flower-covered glass table is set with raspberry-garnished iced tea and chocolate-dipped cookies. The intimate relaxation area is an excellent spot for meditating, or even a nap.

Spa du Sureau’s small facility feels intimate, and the Old World treatments feel relaxing and renewing. Here is our list of the five best amenities at this one-of-a-kind Four-Star spa:
1. The welcome footbath. You won’t be rushed into the locker rooms here — you’re greeted at Spa du Sureau with a footbath and massage. The elderberry and rose petal bath is refreshing and unique — a perfect way to begin the spa experience.
2. Just a spoonful of honey. The spa manager will offer you a taste of elderberry honey before you begin your treatment. This unexpected touch is delicious, and we found that the sweet flavor really put us in a relaxed frame of mind.
3. The post-treatment snack. After your massage, bath or facial is over, you’ll be taken to the sunny relaxation room. There, while seated on a plush chair, you’ll be served the house tea on ice with fresh raspberries and mint, along with two chocolate-covered madeleine cookies.
4. The dry sauna. Enter the sleek glass-walled and wood-lined sauna covered in aromatic oil from your treatment and let your skin absorb the rich moisture. The dry heat will help you sweat out any toxins, not to mention making your stresses melt away.
5. The spa bath. This grand bath is in the center of Spa du Sureau’s master treatment room. You can receive a variety of treatments while relaxing in this beautiful marble tub with room to spare. The warm surroundings, with a fireplace and framed art, will make you feel at home, but better.

Spa du Sureau’s philosophy is simple: Pampering a comforting, unfussy Old World-style. In practical terms this means lots of herbal infusions in oils and baths, traditional massage methods, as well as aromatherapy and thalasso therapy — treatments using seawater. The Four-Star spa’s standout treatments embody these ideals nicely. Spa du Sureau offers several traditional Kneipp herbal baths as well as old-fashioned European kurs, which are mineral muds used for centuries for their health benefits — eliminating toxins and nourishing the nervous system. You’ll also find a water-based massage called Hydrostorm that washes your body in currents. It’s not a spa for those who love trendy ingredients and cutting edge chemicals, but the time-tested therapies and natural methods feel fresh.

Two rounds of refreshments are provided at Spa du Sureau: You’ll receive one treat when you arrive and another as you collect your thoughts post-service. As you enter the spa, you’ll be greeted with a spoonful of wild elderberry honey — giving your spa day a sweet start. You’ll also be offered water lightly flavored with mint, along with a cup of tea. You’ll be able to savor both your honey and your beverage as your therapist gives you an extended footbath in the spa’s waiting area.
>After your treatment at Spa du Sureau, you’ll be presented with another bite — two chocolate-dipped madeleine cookies — and a tall glass of the spa’s signature elderberry tea topped with fresh seasonal fruit (we had raspberries) and mint. It’s a delicious ending to the indulgent experience.

Far from standard spa issue, the robes and slippers at Spa du Sureau have a bit of flair. The women’s robes are a chic leopard print in terry velour, while the gentlemen can choose to don a black or red terry velour robe. The fabric of both robes is weighty and thick — so you’ll be comfortable wearing them all day. The slippers at Spa du Sureau are textured athletic sandals. They have comfortable acupressure nubbins on the soles that massage your feet as you walk, just another relaxing touch.

The luxe waiting area at Spa du Sureau fuses Art Deco style and the relaxing, spare aesthetic of a traditional spa. All the furnishings and accents are period-accurate Art Deco, down to the stylized lotuses on the light plates. But instead of crowding the space with antiques, there’s only a simple welcome desk, a marble side table and a low couch where guests receive a welcoming footbath.
While you fill out your spa visitor information, you can enjoy a spoonful of wild elderberry honey meant to cleanse your palate and begin the relaxation process. Then, before you enter to receive your treatment, your therapist will give you a footbath with fresh rose petals, massaging and scrubbing your feet and calves until you’re completely relaxed.

Make your appointment at Spa du Sureau as soon as you know you’ll be in the Yosemite area. The small spa is calm, quiet and only works with a few guests at a time. Call the spa or send an email to book your spot, and let the it know if you have a preference for your therapist’s gender, since staff is limited. We recommend that guests staying at the connected Five-Star Château du Sureau book their massages or facials along with their rooms, at least a few weeks ahead of time. If you’re a Californian, tell Spa du Sureau staff when you call — you can get a 15 percent discount on services during the week.

The best way to get an appointment at the luxurious Spa du Sureau is simply to email or call. When you make your reservation, remember that the Four-Star spa asks that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. If you miss your treatment, you’ll be charged in full, no matter the reason. The strict policy reflects the spa’s isolated location — it doesn’t get many drop-in appointments. When you call, let the staff know a few things: If you have a gender preference for your therapist, tell them when you book. Also, if you’d like to use the spa’s sauna after your treatment, Spa du Sureau needs to know before you arrive.

When your time at Spa du Sureau comes to a close, you don’t need to worry about who you should tip. By the time you are at the front desk ready to check out, the spa has already added a 20 percent tip to your check automatically. Depending on how many treatments you’ve indulged in, it can be confusing to know who you should thank. Foreseeing this probable dilemma, Spa du Sureau adds the 20 percent tip to all bills, but you can adjust the amount if gratuity if you like.
-
When you head to a treatment at Spa du Sureau, feel free to wear whatever you would like. The spa doesn’t make any special requests aside from asking that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment. The early arrival is requested so you’ll have plenty of time to change into your leopard print, velour robe and massage slippers, and secure your clothes in one of the spa’s small lockers. Once you are changed, you’ll be treated to a welcoming footbath and a taste of local elderberry honey.

To fully appreciate Spa du Sureau, as well as the rest of the estate by the elderberries — the nickname of the Five-Star Château du Sureau — you really must be a bit older. The spa does not allow children to take part in its treatments. While the hotel does not allow guests younger than kindergarten age, if you are staying with an older child, just request a babysitting service from the concierge while you relax at the spa. And if you can’t resist pampering your little one when you return, you can order up an in-room herbal bath for your youngster.
-
If you are staying in one of the exceptional rooms at the estate’s hotel, Château du Sureau, then there are several treatments that Spa du Sureau can provide without you ever needing to leave the comfort of your bed. On those days you would prefer not to leave your room at all, but still want to enjoy a spa treatment, you can simply call down to the spa and order up an in-room bath or massage. The in-room massage is available in 60- or 90-minute sessions and can be paired with a Kneipp Krauter herbal bath, each for their in-spa price plus an additional $20 and $25, respectively. If you’d like to end your night in style, you can also go for the ultimate turndown service and order up an herbal bath, choosing from a variety of essential oil and aromatherapy scents, drawn and prepared in your guestroom bath for $35.

At Château du Sureau, concierge duties are performed by the Château director as well as the reservations department. We do not have a concierge per se, as our property is small. Our spa manager can certainly arrange last-minute spa appointments.
-
We are a small estate in a rural environment and cancellations affect us greatly. If at all possible, we ask our guests to keep their reserved time. If you must change or cancel, we ask you to provide us with a minimum of 24 hours notice so we may reschedule our therapists. Full payment is required for less than 24-hour cancellation or missed appointments.

Spa du Sureau is located on the 9-acre Estate at the Elderberries on the outskirts of the small town of Oakhurst, Calif. In order to access the local shopping, you will need to use a car. Oakhurst does offer supermarkets, drugstores, a few antique stores as well as some art galleries at Gallery Row. Please do not expect to find any fancy boutiques or clothing stores here — the few clothing stores basically provide everything for enjoying summer and winter outdoors.

The Estate at the Elderberries is conveniently located near the south entrance of Yosemite National Park (approximately a 25-minute drive from Oakhurst). This grand national park is considered our biggest attraction in the area and a very big reason why guests come to visit. The park provides magnificent landscapes, great hikes and numerous activities in summer and winter.
In summer, guests can also enjoy water sports at nearby Bass Lake (approximately a 20-minute drive from the estate) or can explore Route 49, which is considered the former gold rush route from Mariposa north to Sonora. This drive is especially recommended during the spring when the wildflowers are blooming and transform the whole landscape into a painter’s palette of vibrant colors.
Wintertime offers skiing at nearby Badger Pass, cross-country skiing, ice-skating at Curry Village or Tenaya Lodge, Horse-Sleigh rides through the winter-wonderland. -
We are certainly proud to have the highly awarded Erna’s Elderberry House Restaurant as part of our Estate at the Elderberries. Guests will enjoy an extraordinary dining experience and a feast for their taste buds.
The restaurant scene in Oakhurst offers some family-style eateries (including Mexican, Italian, and Asian cuisine), as well as numerous fast food restaurants. A few miles north of Oakhurst, the Narrow Gauge Restaurant offers American-style cuisine with alpine influences in a cozy, chalet-like atmosphere. -
We recommend the bar at Erna’s Elderberry House Restaurant, which invites guests into a Provençal setting, offering an amazing selection of the finest wines from around the world as well as classic cocktails. The Queen’s Inn (approximately a five-minute drive from Spa du Sureau) offers a charming bar with wines from its local vineyard Idle Hour Winery.

Spa du Sureau’s Art Deco interior provides a luxe take on common spa décor. Taking its inspiration from turn-of-the-century Parisian chic, the spa’s design is heavy on rich fabrics, stained glass details and true-to-period furniture. The walls are hung with oil paintings in gilded frames depicting women in various states of undress, which encourage even the most modest visitor to dispense with extraneous clothing. The gauzy white curtains give patrons privacy without robbing the space of the spa’s stunning natural light.
>In Spa du Sureau’s waiting room, the walls and ceiling are finished in harmonious shades of buff and celadon. Once again, Art Deco details dominate the room with sharp geometric shapes making appearances from the pendant lamp that hangs from the ceiling to the rhombus-shaped mirror in the entryway. -

There’s an extensive menu of services available at Spa du Sureau, but the five best treatments are all worth making a stop in the little town of Oakhurst, Calif. Here are our top picks:
1. Duet massage. Here, two masseuses simultaneously work their magic — well, it’s almost magic — on you, using rhythmic strokes and reflexology. If your idea of heaven is an hour-long massage with a single masseuse, you must try this one — you’ll never want to go back to just one pair of hands.
2. Thermal mineral kur. Eastern Europeans have taken natural kurs for generations and at Spa du Sureau, you can indulge in the tradition that is known for its health benefits. The thermal mineral kur combines three treatments (green tea and Balneo-Peat wrap, Hydrostorm and classic massage) to balance your metabolic system as well as relax and re-mineralize your skin.
3. Kneipp herbal bath. This is one of the spa’s most economical options, but also one of the most unusual. Though you must add it on to another treatment, this 25-minute bath is definitely worth the extra time. You’ll soak in a concentrated blend of aromatic essential oils designed to revive your body and give you more energy.
4. Hydrostorm. The moment you step foot inside this ultimate thermal shower, you’ll be enveloped by aroma-infused steam. While alternating hot and cold sprays, massaging cascades of water and even artificial raindrops stream over you, the Hydrostorm relieves muscle tension.
5. Elderberry bliss facial. Your aesthetician will use organic elderflowers, sweet milk, calendula and rose oil for hydrated and glowing skin. At the same time, a heated sachet full of native wildflowers will be applied to relax your neck and shoulders, and at the end of the facial, you’ll get a mint spritz to refresh and awaken you. -
Owner Erna Kubin-Clanin designed Spa du Sureau and the connected Five-Star Château du Sureau to be a lovers’ escape into all things luxurious and relaxing. So it should come as no surprise that much of Spa du Sureau’s treatment menu is couple friendly. The menu offers discounted rates for couples on many of the spa’s baths and kurs, and has designed spa packages for two. There’s even a honeymoon package for newlyweds staying in the Yosemite region after their nuptials. Some of the Four-Star spa’s most unique and popular treatments, like the Hydrostorm, are available to couples as well as individually, so you and your special someone can relax together.
-
We offer an Aroma Slumber Massage, either 60-minutes or 90-minutes in duration. A light-to-firm pressure is combined with the soothing sense of lavender, peppermint and bergamot. Steaming water is poured over freshly gathered herbs to delight the senses with aromatic steam.

Spa du Sureau offers an array of wraps, often offered in conjunction with other relaxing and cleansing spa treatments. The lavender blossom body polish begins with a light aromatic towel cleansing and continues with a nourishing lavender cream wrap. You can also indulge in the marine body masque, a blue-green algae and seaweed wrap followed by a Hydrostorm drench, a trip to the therapeutic shower. If you want to try a classic Eastern European kur — a special of Spa du Sureau — the green tea and balneo-peat wrap purifies your skin through antioxidants. For men, the rosemary wrap includes exfoliation using peppermint, sea salts and rosemary and a shea butter massage.

The silk slumber treatment kicks off as your body is buffed with natural sisal, leaving your skin exfoliated and your circulation stimulated. Afterward, warm chamomile compresses prepare your skin for a generous application of rich shea butter. As you are cocooned in warm linens, allowing you body to drink up the moisture from the shea butter, you’ll be treated to a scalp massage. This 60-minute treatment is quite the skin indulgence.
>The second scrub option is the lavender blossom body polish, a longer 90-minute service that will lull you into deep relaxation. After your therapist polishes your body smooth, you will be washed clean with fragrant towels, prepping you for a light massage. Finally, the therapist coats you in a lavender cream wrap and warm linens while you relax, soaking in the moisture to replenish your scrubbed skin. -
