For total relaxation, discover the spa. It is located at the top of a hill and offers a view across the valley, towards the sea and Mount Ruapehu. The spa has three treatment rooms where you can choose from the menu of various massages, pedicures, or hair treatments.
The restaurant is one of the many advantages of the location. You can choose to dine in the main dining room, or in your suite or other rooms in the lodge, depending on your desires.
