Kina
Colada Health Retreat
Kina Colada is a bed and breakfast built in 1997 on eight hectares on the Kina Peninusula overlooking the Tasman Bay. On-site facilities include fitness equipment, sauna, salt-water infinity swimming pool, walking paths, and beach walks. Nearby there is boating, kayaking, fishing, beaches, swimming, golf, wineries, restaurants, arts and crafts, garden tours, and hiking in two national parks. Rainbow Ski-field is 2-hr drive.
Hosts Susanne Brutscher and Elfriede Lindbuechl, who is trained in Germany as a physiotherapist, offer a number of spa services such as body wraps, massage, mud treatments, and oxygen treatments.
The two-room suites at Kina Colada have heated floors, en suite bathrooms, king European slat beds, teamaking facilities, refrigerator, TV, telephone, sitting areas and balcony. Rates include continental breakfast. At the time of my visit in March 2001, the rates varied from $95NZ for one person to $175NZ for two (these prices are discounted for off-season). At the favorable exchange rate, that came to ~$40US - $74US. As well as healthy continental breakfasts that are included in the price of the room, by request, Susanne offers Mediterranean-style lunch of salads & bread ($12NZ pp) and Mediterranean-style dinner with wine ($30NZ pp). Kina Colada also offers Fit For Life dining options.
