antidote to our busy modern lives

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We attended the Breath Of Life workshop with Lasse and totally recommend it. This workshop is the perfect antidote to our busy modern lives, and I needed it more than I had realised. Total attention to detail. Service was impeccable and faultless, but welcoming and unpretentious. Can’t wait to go back.

Inviting and comfortable

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Treat yourself - to the less worn path - and you will discover a taonga (treasure/ jewel). An easy base to day trip to the West Coast, then return and relax. The luxury is inviting and comfortable and the food- fresh from the onsite garden and local producers is exquisite and a surprise to all senses.
