CHANGES Medi-Spa Group bookings
I recently organised a pampering day in CHANGES Medi-Spa for my friends hen party. I looked at various options before deciding on a Spa experience.
I heard about CHANGES Medi-Spa at a ladies expo in Wellington and thought it would be a good option for a special occasion. Catering for a group of 14 people can be stressful but I knew I had made the right decision from the moment I spoke to Katie. She put my mind at ease informing me of their facilities and services and I knew it was the perfect option for this occasion. The opportunity to include accommodation next to the premises meant we could park up and totally relax for the weekend. It also made the process of organising a group event much less stressful as CHANGES Medi-Spa were able to provide us with everything we needed in one package.
It was a busy weekend in the region with lots of events occurring and despite getting enquiries from other members of the public the staff were very patient while I confirmed numbers. Communication was mainly via phone and email and the staff at CHANGES Medi Spa responded within the day to any enquiries. They were very flexible in catering for the needs of our group up to the day of arrival. As with any large booking, last minute changes occur but this wasn’t an issue, as the staff were very accommodating to these alterations with no additional charges.
We had exclusive use of the Spa and all the facilities. We relaxed in soft bath robes and enjoyed the comforts of our surroundings in the beautiful outdoor gardens, hot spring outdoor pool and comfortable indoor lounges. We had a variety of Tea Pigs to choose (a high class brand of tea), freshly brewed coffee, bubbles and a platter of nuts, fruit, and cupcakes. We were able to bring extra drinks and food to enjoy throughout the day.
Each person was called for their treatments at various times and then returned to the lounge area to relax with the rest of the group. Some people had their treatments together while others were in single rooms. We didn’t have to keep track of the time as the staff coordinated our bookings and called us for our treatment as appropriate. As the organiser I could put my trust in the staff at CHANGES to coordinate the group and ensure the ladies were happy and well looked after.
Everyone loved their treatments and the day ran smoothly. The staff are professional and highly qualified. I had a pedicure and was very happy with the therapist’s recommendation on nail colour as it meant I chose something different which everyone loved. I also got my eyebrows shaped with the New Definition (ND) Brows. In the past I have waxed, tweezed and threaded my eyebrows but I had never experienced the ND Brows. The comparison was remarkable as the ND Brows highlighted my eyes and defined my eyebrows and face. Everyone in the group complemented me on my eyebrows and many others were tempted to get them done having seen the result. I continued to get compliments on my eyebrows and toenails for the remainder of the week. I was delighted with the outcome.
I have attended many spas in the United Kingdom and Ireland of 4 and 5 star quality. I have lived in New Zealand 5 years and never found a spa experience on par to the ones in Europe until I visited CHANGES Medi-Spa. This was definitely a spa experience. I felt rushed in other New Zealand spas getting ushered in and out of treatments with no place to relax. At CHANGED Medi-Spa I felt truly pampered and welcomed. I was able to relax in a friendly, spacious, warm spa with comfortable lounges, robes, and refreshments. There was no sense of hurry and one could take their time to make full use of the facilities available. The staff were friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure the needs of the group were met and everyone was satisfied.
Katie and her team provide a first class spa service set in beautiful surroundings of the Wairarapa. I would highly recommend CHANGES Medi-Spa to my friends and family. This was our first time visiting the spa and I will definitely be returning in the coming months. It can be hard to please a group of ladies but all 14 of us were very satisfied by the professional service provided. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away in the beautiful, relaxing CHANGES Medi-Spa and came home refreshed and revitalised. Thank you CHANGES Medi-Spa for this wonderful experience.

My boyfriend and I went to Changes Medi Spa a few weeks ago and also stayed in the Mr and Mrs Suite they have there. We were greeted by Katie (who is super friendly and just made everything so easy right from the very first stages of booking) when we arrived and shown to our room which was lovely, exactly what we were hoping for. It had all the little 'extras' you want on a weekend away, candles, bath robes, nice products in the bathroom etc. The hot tub that goes with the room is amazing; it's totally secluded and in a really nice setting, you can even play your iPod! After our lovely breakfast in bed in the morning (which consisted of yogurt and muesli, cereal, croissants, juice and coffee and tea) we went to the actual spa itself (which is amazing!) for our massages. They were perfect, just what we needed. After our massage we were taken to the lounge for cupcakes and herbal tea and left to relax in our robes on the sofas. All in all, a complete spa experience, even though we only booked for one treatment. The girls who did our massages were absolutely lovely and so was Katie. We literally couldn't have wanted a better weekend. We would recommend Changes Medi Spa to anyone who needs a break or even just some pampering. We are already planning another trip back in the not too distant future! - anonymous April 2014
This place is fantastic. My husband and I purchased a voucher off GrabOne and headed over to Changes for a weekend in the Mr & Mrs Suite. From the moment I got in touch with Katie to book the weekend to the very last moment of the weekend Katie was the most accommodating, friendly person I think I have ever met. She welcomed us into the Spa and led us to our Suite, which was so clean and modern and fresh, complimentary bottle of bubbles - yum! My husband and I got settled in and then donned our robes and headed to the fantastic pedicure chairs where we sipped our bubbles, well me - hubby had a red and complimentary dried fruit and nuts. Katie and Paige pampered our feet for a glorious hour, then we headed back to our suite for a relaxing evening. Breakfast was delivered in the morning consisting of juice, yoghurt, muesli and berries, fruit muffins/toast. That day consisted of a 1 hour full-body couples massage. We initially headed to the spa lounge in our robes where we sat enjoying the surroundings for a few minutes before being led to our VIP suite for the massage. Fantastic!!! After this we were led back to the lounge feeling very relaxed where we were settled on chaise lounges and offered a cup of tea or water and another serving of dried fruit and nuts. We were left here to relax and absorb the ambiance for as long as we wished. Headed back to room for a sleep then out for dinner with a complimentary lift into town in the Pink Limosine, driven by Katie herself. Breakfast was delivered again the next day at which time Katie told us just to let ourselves out when we were ready to leave.
I cannot rave highly enough about this place. It was superbly decorated and spotlessly clean which for me is a necessity in any kind of spa. I have been to others that I would never step foot in again!
Katie is a superb host and I would have no hesitation in recommending this place to anybody. - anonymous July 2013
Manicure and Pedicure
"A BIG thank you to Charlotte for spoiling and pampering my mum today. She came home feeling soooo good... such a nice treat as she bravely battles cancer. I look forward to her enjoying this experience again in the near future. You made her feel soo special.. she couldn't believe how much time and attention you gave her today..know how much this matters to people in her situation.... "
Thank you so much Katie for the luxurious foot treatment and amazing hospitality I received yesterday! LOVE the new look and wish you every success. Kat Jan 2013
New definition Brows
I don’t think that this treatment could be improved! Much less irritation than with waxing, much ‘fresher’ looking than plucking and a fantastic shape! The facilities are gorgeous, the staff are lovely and a tedious maintenance chore was turned into some serious pampering. I can’t rate it highly enough, and look forward to returning next time I am in NZ xoxo Janine Feb 2013
Thank you Katie for the best eyebrow shape I have EVER had with High Definition Brows, highly recommended to all!!! - Hayley July 2013

Wow Wow Wow! This place is 5-star luxury. My husband and I have a taste for the finer things in life and Changes fulfils it all. Superb Mr & Mrs Suite, with every attention to detail. The treatments were sublime and every staff member amazingly friendly, polite & professional. I must say it has to follow down from Katie who literally is the “Hostess with the Mostess”!!! This will become a regular escape away for us and will definitely be recommending to friends & family.

Honey Bee Cottage
The cottage was fantastic - charming and well presented. All dealings with the host were efficient and friendly. We had a great time. Highly recommended - Meggan Jan 2014
This was the most beautiful little cottage in an ideal location. Our hosts provided everything we needed, and were quick to respond to our requests, without invading our privacy. Perfect. The Wairarapa is an undervisited, unspoiled destination. There are seal pups to view at Cape Palliser, dramatic scenery at Castlepoint beach, glorious mountain views of the Tararua ranges and a well preserved country town in Greytown. Eketahuna is a tiny town with a wildlife sanctuary nearby and friendly locals. I would recommend Honeybee cottage to anyone looking for an idyllic home base for day trips around this beautiful, unspoiled area. - Pepi May 2014
