Maruia River Retreat, Nelson Tasman

If you're seeking something relaxingly and luxuriously different away from the hustle and bustle, this is it. Tucked away in its own 500 acre riverside forest, this wellness retreat provides private bush walks, saunas, hot tubs, swimming pool, massages, forest bathing, yoga classes and wonderfully attentive hosts. With just 7 private villas, and exquisite 3 course dining options, (I'm missing you, raspberry and rhubarb pie...), you can also enjoy a stunning drive to get there in one of our cars, either 3.5 hours from our Christchurch or 2 hours from our Nelson bases....find out more.
