Meet your hosts
Our sanctuary








Just an hour’s drive from Auckland City, you’ll find our cosy and secluded lodge—tucked away in nature, with the gentle sounds of a nearby waterfall setting the scene for tranquility.
It’s the perfect sanctuary for a luxuriously restorative day devoted to healing, play, and self-care.
Every detail of this retreat has been thoughtfully curated to nourish both body and mind—inviting you to sink into powerful practices and drop into deep rest.
Start your day with a grounding movement practice led by Amanda, blending classical pilates, breath-work & nervous system regulation exercises to set a centered tone.
Next, Bree will guide you through a heart centered practice, where we’ll gently reconnect with your inner child through a powerful writing exercise - designed to enhance self-love, compassion, and deeper connection.
After a nourishing and wholesome winter lunch, join Vania for a creative jewellery making workshop, where you'll craft your own bespoke bracelet - a personal piece to carry with you.
As the day winds down, be enveloped in comfort as Amanda leads you through a slow, restorative Yin yoga session, followed by a calming guided meditation.
Conclude the experience with a warming cup of cacao and a blissful soak in a soothing hot tub, accompanied by the tranquil sounds of a waterfall - pure relaxation.
