Maruia River Retreat NZ

Reconnect with Nature

1–5 Nights

This is our signature stay, for those wanting the foundational Maruia experience. Perfect for 1 or 2 people, this is our core package — thoughtfully designed to provide a complete retreat journey with space for rest and renewal.

    • Your own private Villa with balcony overlooking the river, forest, or mountain landscape

    • Daily continental breakfast, lunch, and gourmet 3-course dinner (for 1-night stays, dinner + breakfast the next day)

    • Unlimited premium coffee, teas, spring and sparkling water

    • Group yoga classes in the Shala (as per schedule, for 2+ night stays)

    • Daily 1-hour private forest bathing, including hot tub, and infrared chroma-therapy sauna

    • Finnish sauna and hydrotherapy spa experience with cold-shower facilities

    • Use of the heated Magnesium Pool

    • Guided group nature walk on Fridays or Saturdays (for 2+ night stays, as per schedule)

    • Access to nature trails within our 500-acre beech forest and Maruia River estate, including a mini-waterfall and creek crossing with spectacular vista points

    • Access to the Wellness Center with a massage chair and extensive book library

  • Restore your body and mind with quality deep sleep and proper rest.

    • Choice of Super King bed or two King Single beds

    • Pillow selection including foam, feather and Hyoumankind Go with silk pillowcase

    • Block-out curtains

    • Platinum linen and electric blankets

    On most weekends, our Resident Yoga teacher hosts a complimentary Sleep and Sound bath evening session with practical applications and best practices to optimise your sleep and your day.

  • While there is wifi available at the main Lodge, the private villas 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.

Maruia River Retreat NZ Massage Wellness

“My wife and I had an excellent, relaxing stay the last 2 days. The setting is unique, all the modern amenities in a natural environment. Every member of the host team makes you feel very welcome - like your family. Fantastic people who show a great deal of passion in what they are doing. The walk through the forests is eye-opening, showing very much nature at work. All the meals are fine dining level and my wife had the “best” massage in NZ .... we highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a special, non-hotel like experience.”
