In the new wing, four additional treatment rooms offer cocoons of serenity, with flowing drapes and doors that open onto spectacular mountain views. Sliding doors allow the customised Mani-Pedi studio to be divided into two separate spaces, allowing for both larger groups and more intimate treatment experiences. Beyond the new treatment rooms, the highlight of the expanded spa is the beautiful hydrotherapy pool area, with expansive views to the fynbos slopes of the Waaihoek Mountains.
