The small rural village of Manakau, between Otaki and Levin, is only an hours drive north of Wellington, and an hour south of Palmerston North. Within the narrow streets is the entrance to spa horrobin and hodge, where a bush clad lane opens to broad vistas of the surrounding farmland. The Spa itself is nestled deep in a herb nursery. Huge doors open to another world where welcoming staff offer a wide range of spa treatments that complement the secluded but open aspect of a unique and tranquil environment.
