Your mind can only feel good, if your body feels at ease
Welcome to the River Valley Spa... a wonderful place located beside the Rangitikei river.. surrounded by stunning scenery, flowers, scented roses and the sound of the river... a place where you can slip away from your every day routine... just be prepared to leave your luggage at the door.
Dive into a world full of beauty and relaxation...
Indulge yourself in either the Finnish or Far Infrared sauna, some of the best ways to melt your cares away.
See the Massage Therapist for an appointment or attend a Yoga class
Let her ease the tenseness in your muscles, and you'll feel your mind starting to let go..............as the old Romans said “mens sana in corpore sana” . What this means is that your mind can only feel good, if your body feels at ease.

Facilities
SOAK in our river view HOT TUB
Set outdoor amongst native beech trees, this secluded hot tub which sits up to 4 people could be the ideal place to start your River Valley Spa experience. A great way to relax after a day's adventuring.
SWEAT in our TRADITIONAL WOOD FIRED SAUNA
Let tension melt away in our Finish sauna. This wood fired sauna is the traditional deal. With room for up to 6 people and a wood fired stove, this is just the place to sweat out a few toxins while socialising with friends or family.
Our Far Infrared Sauna is a medically approved approach to more efficient sauna.
Sitting two people this is a more intimate sauna with options to play music and select coloured lighting to set your mood. For more information on infra-red Saunas, click here .
The thing in the class I got the most from was stretching, pushing my body. It was a challenge!
The thing I found most difficult about making a morning Yoga class was finding the motivation, in fact making the effort. Lay ins can be almost non exsistent when travelling, especially on the likes of a Kiwi Experience bus.
Once I did do it though, I experienced a real sense of achievement, and I could not help but notice the difference in how it made my body feel. I was relaxed but energised all at once
The thing in the class I got the most from was stretching, pushing my body. It was a challenge!
Overall though, it was the sense of accomplishment. Becoming more aware of my body, what needs work, more aware of my posture and becoming aware of my breathing
As a traveller I would really recommend a Yoga Class to other travellers and backpackers. The teacher is approachable and makes you feel comfortable with what you can do, so you're not scared to try and push yourself that little harder.
Just to add one more thing, it was good to try something new, coming to a cool lodge and trying something different.
