TherapiesWe offer a choice of therapists each specialising in different techniques. Pre-booking is essential. Faye offers relaxation massage ranging from head and shoulder or foot massage to full body. As Faye has to travel she has a 2 hour minimum which is usually an hour full body massage for each person. Jen at Akaroa Body Care in Akaroa does an amazing hot stone massage & other treatments. We can book for you or talk to Jen directly. Matua Gardens Retreat is a wonderful place to recuperate from emotional and physical challenges. The serenity of the sounds of the stream and bird song combined with the tranquil views and the warm and caring service are a tonic for jangled nerves and stressed bodies. With a range of guided meditation, relaxation & visualisation CDs you are bound to find more than one way to relax. Caroline, who had just completed her last chemotherapy & radiation treatments when she stayed here had this to say just recently “I still think about the absolutely lovely time we had with you last year, just over a year ago now. It was such a tonic and so so appreciated.”
