Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa

Our spa sanctuary is designed so that every manuhiri (guest) leaves feeling better than when they arrived. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed our signature massage, and appreciated the care and attention to detail that makes each experience so special.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review 🩵

We’re proud to be part of STOKEDNZ’s breast cancer weekend, bringing together breast cancer survivors, those currently on their breast cancer journey, whānau, friends and supporters for connection, kōrero and support 💕

Day two brings everyone to Wai Ariki Spa for a morning centred around our Restorative Journey, a chance to slow down, connect and take some time for yourself.

If you know someone who would love to connect with others on a similar journey, head over and to learn more about this special weekend, how to purchase a ticket and support a cause that touches so many of us.

We can’t wait to welcome you all on 11 October.

All profits donated to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Last year I didn’t even think people would come…

Turns out... I was wrong… and we need more!
More time and space for conversations.

Women who’d never met before sat together for hours. Breast cancer survivors. Mums. Daughters. Best mates. Women supporting women. There were hugs, tears, lots of laughs and so many “me too” moments.

When the boat got back, no one wanted to leave.

We ended up back at the café... and then the café closed... and people were still standing around chatting.

So when we started planning this year, the feedback was pretty clear.

More time together.

That’s exactly why Day 2 exists.

We’ve teamed up with the legends at Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa to spend the morning slowing down together. Think hot pools, sauna, steam rooms, cold plunges, clay rituals and all the good stuff that makes you leave feeling totally pampered. One of those days we want, probably need but never have time for 🫣

Day 2 is open to everyone. (Day 1 female only)

Bring your partner. Your mum. Your sister. Your best mate. Heck, bring your dad if he wants a spa day. ❤️

And because so many people are travelling, we’ve added a camping option too. Stay the night, share a few laughs around the campfire and make a proper weekend of it.

This has become so much bigger than a fundraiser.

It’s a weekend about connection, community and raising money for a cause that touches so many of us.

I genuinely can’t wait to share it with all of the epic humans coming.
