Terra Nova Nordic Spa & Cafe - Woodstock, Ontario

Came here with some friends to celebrate my birthday a la Thermal Experience. Fun and relaxing way to spend the day. The hot tub + pool were the perfect temperature. I like that in addition to the cold plunge barrels, there was a larger cold pool. The saunas were a bit on the smaller end, but you could still comfortably fit 4-6 people in the ones outside (I didn’t try the infrared one). Everything was clean, and well maintained. Our 3 hours went by pretty quick.

The check in process was a little disorganized at the time. We were asked to share a locker between the 4 of us since they didn’t have enough to accommodate all guests that morning. The lockers were small, so they gave us 2. We were handed one robe, and 2 towels, which we initially thought we were expected to share those as well, but were then advised that there were robes and towels inside the locker. Locker/change rooms were small, and there was only one washroom in the ladies change room downstairs, but they’re currently renovating, and will have larger change rooms.

The cafe was very nice. Our sandwiches and coffee/teas were delicious.

Overall, it was a great experience.
We’ll definitely come back again, but maybe after the renovations are done.

Quiet, relaxing day. Nordic has many options for hot, cold, relax. Many spa services offered also. All spaces were clean. Was a great experience and felt wonderful after. Staff were excellent.

Beautiful and relaxing spa. The eucalyptus steam room was our favourite part, and everything else was really great too. Clean change rooms, good food and drink selection in the cafe all added to the positives!

We enjoyed our time. Great hot and cold experiences. A little simpler and homey-the staff are warm and welcoming. Not busy and we love the plants. Had a great nap in the rest area. The steam eucalyptus room and infrared room were great.

We tried the pear Brie bacon sandwich and hearty lentil soup. Great value, and taste.

Went at the end of August for the very first time and absolutely love everything about this place. It’s on the small side, but that just adds to the charm, and makes it a lot less busy than other spas. The staff were all polite, knowledgeable, and pleased to show us all the amenities, saunas, steam rooms and hot/cold plunge pools.

The cafe is charming with excellent lunch options that are reasonably priced and great value for money.

I can’t wait to book our next visit, especially after the planned expansion that’s underway. For my next visit, I’ll be taking some ear buds so that I can listen to some guided meditation too.

Thanks for a wonderful day, Terra Nova and I’ll see you again soon.

Amazing, relaxing, incredible. The renovations are top notch. Everyone is so friendly. The cafe should be open later on Thursdays and Fridays though for a nice evening snack.

I went to Terra Nova with a very close friend yesterday for the first time. The set up is quite lovely but definitely not what I expected. The construction noise made it impossible to fully relax. I wish I'd known construction was underway. When construction noise stopped street noise was quite distracting. Something I hadn't considered prior to going. Loud guests were actually quite annoying. I've never experienced this in similar spa settings. That was disappointing. Lunch was delicious. It seemed a bit odd to have lunch brought out to us bit no one to retrieve dishes after eating. I'm not sure if it was a staffing shortage but robes and towels were overflowing onto the floor. Again something I've never experienced elsewhere. There were 4 women waiting for showers we opted to leave the shower until we got home. Check out took over half an hour and that was just to pay our lunch bills. Neither front desk clerk could seem to figure things out. Not ruling out a second visit but would describe the first visit as chaotic and disappointing.

This was my first time here and I loved it. We did a three hour circuit with the contrast hydrotherapy. Enjoyed a lovely high tea, and I had a facial with Marsilia… she had a lovely energy to her and I felt very well taken care of in her care. The Staff were courteous and helpful even when I called the day after I booked to edit my reservation. I think good things are coming to this little gem of a spa. Wishing you all the best in your expansion and hope to see you again soon.
Ps. Please make lotion available in the change rooms :))) and more signage for quiet voices.
