Yoga retreat center

What a divine yoga studio! The vibe and community here is just wonderful. I love doing yoga and looking out to the sea, it is magical! The teachers are really lovely and make you feel comfortable. Very caring. The yoga is really nice too, proper traditional yoga. The 6am Hatha Sunrise class this morning was amazing! My body felt awakened and nourished all over at the end of the class looking over the pink horizon. They have lovely tea, props and it is a beautifully laid out space.

Amazing day on our one day cooking retreat. Such a beautiful vibe from Jenny and the space. Really helped gently nudge us further down our plant based journey. What we created in the space of a few hours was a real surprise. Such good value for money. Highly recommended.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Recently moved to Whangamata, and had been working with massage, physio, even had a surgery to attempt to alleviate years of hip pain without success. Fortunately stumbled across Nourish, and Sharyn's regime of Pilates plus massage therapy, has actually FIXED my hips. I had resigned myself to this being permanent, and Sharyn has changed my life by strengthening and stretching muscles and ligaments. I really can't thank her enough - absolute game changer.

I've been twice now and definately going back. Ali is a professional, not only that she is warm and welcoming. Marton and the Rangitikei are so fortunate to have her. The studio is a peaceful oasis, designed to make doing yoga enjoyable and relaxing. Highly recommended

Amazing masseuse who can fix things other practitioners have not been able to fix for many of his clients. As a loyal supporter of many years, you should try a massage with Chai for any aches and pains and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. He is a magician when it comes to treating pain.

I recently had the pleasure of being hosted by Jenny at the stunning Te Whenua Retreat. As a leadership coach and facilitator, Jenny was outstanding at supporting the needs of my client and working in with me to make the whole workshop seamless and stress free. I was also treated to the wonderful food and great company from Jenny and Pema the dog. Being able to stay at the facility before and after the workshop certainly helped me deliver a high quality event. I will most definitely be visiting Te Whenua again to run more corporate retreats and personal stays. Best Regards, Stu Potter

I recently returned to Maruia River Retreat for another stay and I am happy to say that it just keeps getting better!Hosts Lasse and Cristina were once again incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable.The nature walk was just as stunning as I remembered it, with the Beech Forest & the River providing the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The rejuvenating yoga classes were just what I needed to unwind and find my centre, and I left feeling refreshed and energized. The food was once again a highlight, with the emphasis on sustainability and locally sourced ingredients even more evident than before. I felt good about my travel choices knowing that I was supporting a business that values eco-friendly practices.The accommodations were just as comfortable as I remembered, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The attention to detail and comfort was evident in every aspect of the Villa, from the plush bedding to the well-appointed bathrooms. I appreciated the quiet time to myself to read books and simply soak in the beautiful surroundings.Overall, I highly recommend Maruia River Retreat to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. It truly is the perfect combination of nature, wellness, and sustainable travel. I can't wait to come back again and experience all that this wonderful retreat has to offer. Thanks again to Lasse and Cristina for your warm hospitality that makes Maruia River Retreat a Very, Very, Special Place!

My life and wellbeing has been incredibly enriched by the teachings, guidance and love from my yoga teacher Premaloka. Her classes are heart led and infused with so much of her experience and learning. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from such an authentic and committed yogi who really does make a difference to those who have the good fortune of crossing her path. Namaste.

I came away from the retreat with new ideas and learnings that I feel will help me to take my meditation practice to a new level. Suze shared her knowledge, skills and experiences with the group in a way that was safe, with clarity and she checked in with us to make sure we understood and that the learning was meaningful.The venue was spectacular, amazing views and amenities. The food was delicious, nourishing and made with care.I would recommend a yoga retreat with Suze and I hope to attend another one run by her.

Unconsented Dwellings, don't pay there tradespeople.Sure the rooms are semi nice but note none of the foundations are legal and there's horrible drafts and unfinished flashings on all roofs.The reasons why they cant get them up to scratch is because they cant / and don't pay tradespeople.Jenny is nice on the phone when she wants your money or something done but plays the Ghost card when its time to pay.
