As cold darkness envelops the winter evenings, the beckoning of a hot, steamy, geothermal spa is hard to resist ... especially as our city is an internationally acclaimed spa destination.
Destination Rotorua Marketing has been spreading the word about our spas over the past month, with some fantastic results in
national media.
With headlines such as "Beauty Destination: Rotorua our own luxury spa heaven", "Rotorua acclaimed for its spas" and "Rotorua crowned top luxury spa destination", it's clear the message is being well received and spread with coverage in the Herald Viva magazine, www.thread.co.nz, Ms Helene and MSN. Also in the pipeline is a feature cover story with Indulge magazine.
Wai Ora Day Spa recently won three of four New Zealand categories of the World Luxury Spa Awards and Polynesian Spa celebrated its 40th birthday, while consistently being voted one of the world's top 10 spas by Conde Nast magazine. These accomplishments and the enticing promise to media of more spa developments to come from Treetops Lodge and Estate, Wai Ora Day Spa and also with Polynesian Spa having refurbished its Lake Spa Retreat, means we can continue to keep this momentum rolling and the message front of mind for New Zealanders.
Those already impressed with our day spas are also curious about experiencing the more adventurous natural spas, such as Manupirua Hot Springs, on Lake Rotoiti ,and Hot Water Beach, on Lake Tarawera, as well as Kerosene Creek which will be accessible on Te Ara Ahi, the New Zealand Cycle Trail - well worth a soak after a bit of biking.
