BOOKINGS AND AVAILABILITY
- Therapies Schedule: Available daily from 10 am – 7 pm. Bookings are essential and can be made with the Polynesian Spa reception team at retreat@polynesianspa.co.nz or phone +64 7 348 1328 ext 1. Services are subject to availability.
- Dual Therapies: If you’d like to share your therapy experience with someone special, please request a Dual Room when booking. We have a mix of male and female therapists and will try to accommodate your preferences. However, we book by skillset and availability first, so we cannot guarantee a gender preference.

- IMPORTANT: Pre-therapy Pool Soaking and Consultation: To allow enough time for your pre-therapy consultation and Deluxe Lake Spa hot pool soak, please arrive at least one hour prior to your scheduled treatment time. A consultation form will be provided, and payment will be required upon arrival if not already made.
- What to Bring & What We Provide: Please bring your bathing suit and footwear. We offer a range of swimwear for purchase or hire. Complimentary robes, towels, toiletries, hairdryers, lockers, and disposable underwear are provided. Please bring something to store your wet swimwear in.
- Eating Before Therapy: As your visit will take some time, we recommend eating before your warm mineral pool soak. Our café offers healthy and delicious items, as well as freshly squeezed juices and smoothies.
