Ahurewa Spa

Experience the ‘Ahurewa journey of waters’ Replete the senses, nourish the soul

For Maori, water is considered the very source of life. To us our waterways are sacred taonga (treasures). At Te Whaanga Retreat, we are blessed to be nourished by the rainfall, a well on the hillside above and the ocean. We invite you to experience the ultimate in renewal and rejuvenation; Ahurewa’s journey of waters.

Begin the cleansing ritual in our spa shower representing the gentle fall of rain
Step into our expansive stone tub filled with steaming, herb infused water sourced from the depths of our well
Experience the natural luxury of our massage space and feel your body surrender under the expert hands of our therapist
Take a moment to replenish your body with fresh fruits, cheese and water tinged with kawakawa
To complete your journey, walk into the ocean, (even if you only go in up to your ankles), and offer gratitude for the bounty before you. You will leave restored and revitalised in a way you may not have experienced.
