Dear Friends,
Welcome to Hibernation Holidays at the Retreat!
Throughout these colder and heavier days, we offer permission to slow down and return to what the body naturally needs: deep rest, quiet, nourishment, nature and space to simply be.
We understand that modern versions of wellness can sometimes feel like another thing to achieve and can make being healthy stressful. At Maruia River Retreat, wellbeing is something we want you to experience delightfully and as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
And this Winter and early Spring, is the ideal setting for resetting of your mind, body and spirit - to remember what it feels like to be alive, relaxed and at peace.
The beech forest settles into stillness, the river becomes the rhythm of the landscape, and the silence and winter cold holds a rare kind of calm. The kind of quiet peace that is restorative. We become the private sanctuary for intentional hibernation, reflection and renewal.
Please note: our winter promotion offers $100 off the nightly rate for stays during the seasonal period. A line in our previous email incorrectly stated “$100 per night.” We apologise for the confusion.
For the best value stays, we offer up to 20% off and $100 off our nightly rate, now on offer designed to encourage longer stays, all-inclusive packages and deeper restoration.
Whether you come for a few nights of solitude and a digital detox, come for the daily yoga, indulge in the massage treatments, get some steps in with the forest walks and feast in our nourishing meals, or join us our upcoming Couples Retreat and Creative Writing Retreat, your time with us promises to be a regenerative holiday. Here you will find quiet victory in retreating to yourself in nature.
We look forward to your time with us at Maruia River Retreat! We remain open until June 23 and for our new season startng October 1, 2026.
Love and light,
Cristina, Lasse, Jackie, Elina and Katharina
