Tenikwa Wellness Spa

Tenikwa Wellness Spa operates within Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation and Awareness Centre on Forest Hall Road in The Crags, near Plettenberg Bay. Set against indigenous Tsitsikamma Forest, the spa combines wellness treatments with a wildlife-focused setting and views across scenic gardens and waterways. The atmosphere is designed for unhurried relaxation, with treatment spaces for individuals and couples.

The spa offers a choice of massages and focused treatments. Options include Swedish full-body massage, aromatherapy full-body massage, back, neck and shoulder massage, Indian head massage, and foot and lower-leg treatments. A 15-minute addition can be made to the listed treatments. The style is restorative and personalised, with treatments suited to guests seeking quiet time, a couples experience, or a wellness break alongside a visit to the wildlife centre.

Several packages bring spa treatments together with wildlife experiences and refreshments. A sunset package combines an afternoon wildlife tour with an aromatherapy full-body massage, a sundowner snack platter and a bottle of bubbly, with the sounds of the resident lions forming part of the setting. A shorter half-day option includes a foot scrub, facial, Swedish full-body massage, bubbly and a lunch platter. Longer experiences pair a private guided wildlife tour with forest therapy, a mini facial, a wood-fired hot tub soak and an aromatherapy massage, together with breakfast, lunch or afternoon snacks.

Another package combines a wildlife tour with a choice between an Indian head massage and a foot treatment, followed by a neck, back and shoulders massage, bubbly and a snack platter. These experiences suit visitors who want to combine time at a wildlife rehabilitation centre with structured relaxation, rather than booking a treatment in isolation.

A swimming pool is available to spa guests before treatments, and a private session in the wood-fired hot tub can be arranged separately. The gardens, waterways and forest surroundings provide a natural backdrop without taking the focus away from the treatment spaces. The Garden Route location makes the spa a practical addition to a Plettenberg Bay itinerary, particularly for couples, solo visitors and guests looking for a wellness-focused day experience.

Tenikwa Wellness Spa is open daily from 9am, with advance booking required for spa packages and individual treatments. The venue is located at Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation and Awareness Centre, Forest Hall Road, The Crags, Plettenberg Bay, 6602, South Africa.
