The Pania Ryan Beauty Retreat is no stranger to winning awards for their services, with the latest being the Joyce Blok 2015 Salon of the Year Award.
The award evaluated spas and salons across Australia, Fiji and New Zealand.
Owned by Pania Ryan, the salon has a team of six and has has been operating at the Hotel Coachman for the past nine years.
"I was not expecting to win at all. It was very exciting. It's a prestigious award for us. It's lovely to be recognised for all the hard work that the team do and it's also wonderful for our clients to know that they are dealing with a New Zealand brand," Ryan told Stuff.
Ryan believes the internet has played a part in customers becoming more savvy about their spa and skincare choices: “A lot of people are wanting a healthier lifestyle and the natural products fit in very well with that."
