Our body range has been custom made by Sarah Beesley of the self-heal shop in Greytown and we have an exclusive arrangement within the luxury hotel industry with trilogy, our facial range.
THE SELF HEAL SHOP
Sarah Beesley is a medical herbalist, the modern equivalent of the village wise woman and apothecary. Located in Cotter St Greytown, Sarah’s clinic and dispensary are surrounded by an acre of lovingly tended organic herb gardens. Trained at the Waikato Centre for Herbal Medicine, she uses only the highest quality ingredients available, often the best coming from her own garden.
Sarah has worked with us to create a unique range of luxurious treatment products specific to our needs such as the chilli oil, infused for months to gather its goodness and made into a massage wax; the perfect cure after horse riding or tramping.
TRILOGY
Trilogy is a Wellington based company founded by two sisters with a unique belief that beauty is best achieved naturally. Their philosophy is based around a triad of simplicity, purity and vitality.
They have set out to make products that are a little bit different, that not only perform better but are better ethically, aesthetically and environmentally. Wharekauhau is proud to use products that have been inspired by the land in which we live to create products that help you make a more conscious decision about the way you care for your skin, your wellbeing and your world.
SPA ETIQUETTE
We recommend you arrive prior to your appointment time and relax by the pool so as to get the most from your treatment, arriving late will limit the time of your treatment. As a courtesy to other guests we keep treatments to scheduled times.
You are welcome to come as you are, as the spa is in the pool complex you may want to bring your bathing suit with you, we also provide full showering facilities and robes.
Our massage therapists are fully trained in relaxation and therapeutic massages to ensure the quality and safety of your experience. Please advise us on any health considerations as we may have to modify your treatment or recommend another one if unsuitable.
To Book your treatment please ask the reception staff. It would be appreciated if you could book either the night before or as early as possible on the day. Our spa therapists often travel some distance so reserving early would be appreciated. All spa treatments can be booked by contacting reception on your arrival.
