Here is a sample of the Daily Activities for two people with our Personal Restoration Retreat package.

Embrace the luxury of being cared for within the backdrop of breathtaking beauty.

Maruia River Retreat is a luxury wellness resort, perfectly located at the top of the South Island, at the tip of Nelson-Tasman region and entry to the West Coast.

Situated along the magnificent Maruia River and protected by mountains from the east and west, the Maruia River Retreat is a stunning boutique lodge and nature estate where guests can relax, reconnect, explore and celebrate.

With only 7 luxury villas within a 500-acre nature estate, guests are welcomed with a sense of being far away from the clutter of everyday life, and invited to find shelter at the core of what is truly beautiful and peaceful.

Ideal for those looking for a relaxed and well-paced holiday in untouched Pure New Zealand nature with relaxed luxury and comfortable accommodations, fresh, nourishing and delicious food with thoughtful care and hospitality. Explore one of the most undiscovered and beautiful places in New Zealand.

“Maruia” (ma-roo-ee-ah) - Maori, adj. meaning “sheltered or shaded”

Testimonials
"Take a break for your self."
Everything was just amazing here. The staff were over the top and went above and beyond. I had the best sleep and most relaxing 3 days. The food was next level. I had the steak my last day and was I glad I did. I also loved the Magnesium pool and wish I had one at home. What a great spot." Khristin 24'

"Like rehab for burnt out people"
I had an extraordinary few days at Maruia River Retreat reconnecting with nature and myself. I was looking for a solo retreat that allowed me to disconnect for a few days and be taken care of. It looked incredible online and was even better in real life. The yoga classes were an absolute treat, small enough to be tailored specifically to needs/skill level. The food was generous, interesting, well balanced and delicious, with much of the produce grown on site. And there was so much relaxing to do - forest walks in native bush, an outdoor hot tub underneath mature beech trees and surrounded by birds flitting and singing, an infrared sauna nestled in the trees, state of the art massage chair, indoor Finnish sauna and spacious yoga studio. Lasse, Cristina and Jackie were the perfect hosts and generous every step of the way. I was also so thrilled with their deep commitment to a low carbon operation with goals to become carbon neutral in the near future. From the gorgeous linens and beautiful ceramics to the bookshelves with a mix of intellectually stimulating and good holiday reads it was just the ticket for a deeply burnt out person in need of a reset and recharge.

This is our most popular weekend “take-a-breath” stay.

The Reconnect with nature stay is a Solo or Couple Retreat 2-3 night package; where you'll be pampered throughout your stay with daily organised nature and wellness activities, breakfast and 3-course dinners included, and plenty of quiet time to nap or read books and wander the grounds.
