What guests say

“I arrived wound tight and left an hour later moving at half speed. The silent hours are the best thing in Christchurch.”

Mereana Walker, St Albans

“The foot press after a night shift is my fortnightly reset. Warm water, warm towels, and nobody asking anything of me.”

Tom Ashworth, Riccarton

“We booked the private cedar room for our anniversary. Ninety minutes, no phones, just the water. We rebooked before we had dried off.”

Priya Naidu, Merivale
