Ultimate Comfort

Relaxed Luxury

Our property consists of 7 private self-contained villas, each furnished to a high standard and designed to encourage deep rest and tranquility. Boasting a balcony facing out to immersive nature views, a kitchenette for versatility, block-out curtains for the ultimate deep-sleep experience, comfortable king-sized bed, marble-tiled ensuite bathroom with heated floor and enriching natural shower products — you have everything that you need within your own cosy sanctuary.

While there is wifi available at the main Lodge, the private rooms provide a digital detox haven, with no wifi or TV. There is still cell/data reception, so your digital exposure is completely up to you. If possible, we highly recommend taking the opportunity to truly unplug and cultivate more presence during your stay. If you allow it, Maruia can provide a deep reset of the system — mind, body and soul. Fall asleep to the sound of the river and awake to a symphony of birdsong.

We have three room types to choose from — Luxe Villa, Master Villa, or Premium Master Villa.

“Each of the seven villas are dotted along the hillside below the main lodge. Walls are painted in deep forest greens, rooms are named after native birds (mine, the tūī, regularly appeared in a pair who danced outside my window), and soft, natural textures carry throughout.”
