Eco-Green-Nutters?

Meet Inge and Rolf.  We used to be the eco-green-nutters in the basin (the Kororipo Basin in Kerikeri), and all of a sudden we are among the leaders of the newly appreciated green eco life style. This is rather nice.

Pioneers in New Zealand Luxury Health and Wellness Centres

Visiting our Eco Spa Resort (NZ pioneer in eco health and wellness centres and member of the Northland Sustainable Tourism Charter) you can experience what a very low carbon footprint feels like in a subtropical pampering resort. This is a luxurious break, not roughing it! Our Eco Spa Resort combines luxurious accommodation in private villas, organic gourmet food & beverage at Makai Restaurant and re-juvenating spa and massage treatments at Maora Wellness Centre - all coupled with exceptional friendly service to our guests as well as nature and environment!

Rainwater Harvesting and Processing The rainwater is collected through gutter guards and filtered with a HomeSpring* filter. Our tap water tastes wonderful, provides the best skin treatment and is very beneficial for cleansing and digestion!  Used water is thoroughly cleaned by our waste water treatment plant and thus fed into irrigation lines for the veggie garden and orchard.   Organic Gourmet Paradise The organic food from our own garden and farmers close by are offered as gourmet health food, supplemented by organic wines, teas and juices. The kitchen scraps go into the compost alley (20 bins) and two worm farms. The local Northtec uses ORA ORA RESORT as an example for "Permaculture"

Meditation

The mediation path around the garden (one round 1000 steps) leads directly to the Rainbow Falls Walk along the Kerikeri River.  A special meditation path (108 steps) surrounds the fish pond in the Ora Garden of Wellbeing.  Our Crater Garden is great for meditation!  Meditation classes, Feng Shui and astrology consultations are offered occasionally.

Wellness

Our New Zealand Luxury Health and Wellness Centre offers treatments to improve lymphatic action, to relax, and to take away pains: energetic healing, massages, hot stones, sauna, herbal baths, facials, Kneipp treatments and others.

Biodynamic Principles Our Spa Resort breathes peace - you will feel it. The land has been cared for according to Rudolf Steiner;s  biodynamic principles with the preparations and with the help of a paramagnetic tower. The certified soil improvement is remarkable:  54% increase in Potassium after 5 years of caring.   Luxury with Eco-Rules The accommodation is quite luxurious and comfortable. Heat pumps provide you with warming or cooling as desired. But there are also rules: recycle waste (no mixing), use of eco friendly shampoos, detergents, etc. and no smoking inside the buildings. Our switch-off policy helps to reduce energy consumption and thus the carbon footprint.

Joy and Zest in Life - Good for Seminars Too!

Our New Zealand Health and Wellness Centre is great for seminars. Participants feel the joy of creativity, concentration and connection. The personal attention Inge and Rolf offer to all their guests is exceptional. It is a place where you feel treasured !
