River Valley Spa
Welcome to the River Valley Spa
Kia ora
Welcome to the River Valley Spa... a wonderful place located above the Rangitikei river.. surrounded by a stunning scenery, flowers, scented roses and the sound of the river... a place where you can slip away from your every day routine... just be prepared to leave your luggage at the door.
Dive into a world full of beauty and relaxation...
Indulge yourself in either the Finnish or Far Infrared sauna, some of the best ways to melt your cares away.
OR - see me (Marianne) for a massage.
Let me ease the tenseness in your muscles, and you'll feel your mind starting to let go..............as the old Romans said “mens sana in corpore sana” . What this means is that your mind can only feel good, if your body feels at ease.
As you receive your massage, you will feel your body and mind refilling with fresh, positive, energy with a touch of the spirit of River Valley.
Who am I?
Let me tell you more about me...
I started as a Massage Therapist about ten years ago, while I was studying physiotherapy at the Academy for Physiotherapy Thim van der Laan in Landquart, Switzerland.
Since then, I have developed a passion for health care, mostly as a physiotherapist in private clinics majoring in sports physiotherapy. In addition I am part of the Swiss National Orienteering Team. My role in the team involves day to day massage, and physiotherapy as required. I have occupied this position for the last two years.
For me, the reward I get from being able to use my skills, through massage, is immense. The exchange of positive energy is something that many massage therapists experience, and for me is a critically important part of what I do.
I hope to see you soon at the River Valley Spa

Massage Therapy
Take time out to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings and picturesque valley and immerse yourself in the calming sounds of nature, while indulging in our extensive range of pampering body treatments.
We offer a variety of massage treatments grouped under three broad headings. These are:
Relaxation Massage - Our range of relaxation massages at River Valley are based on Swedish massage, probably the most popular and widely practiced massage in western countries.
Indulgent Massage - Massage is all about sensual healing for the emotions as well as for the body. A simple and effective route to general wellbeing via our largest sensory organ – our skin
Therapeutic Massage - Therapeutic massage is a holistic treatment for the whole body as well as for the specific area of injury or disfunction.
 Relaxing in the hot tub after a days adventuring
Our spa pool overlooks the river, set amongst native beech trees. This could be the perfect place to start. Spa pools unlike many of the other River Valley Spa services are all about leisure and relaxation.
Traditional Wood Stove Sauna
Let tension melt away in our Finish sauna. This wood fired sauna is the traditional deal. With room for up to 6 people and a wood fired stove, this is just the place to sweat out a few toxins while socialising with friends or family. Very much a social event.

Far infra-red Sauna
Medically approved approach to more efficient sauna. For more information on infra-red Saunas, click here.
