Maruia River Retreat is an absolute gem nestled in amongst the trees. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and well maintained with a lovely balcony overlooking the river. The food was amazing and I would highly recommend having dinner there! I will absolutely be revisiting this amazing gem!
I travelled here in late Spring for a two night retreat stay and had my expectations exceeded on every level. The rooms and main area are well-appointed and immaculately clean; the surroundings are indescribably beautiful. The food was elegantly simple and delicious and the outdoor hot tub and the two saunas made me so relaxed that I slept like a log on the super comfortable bed. Lasse’s morning yoga classes were the perfect start to my days. Most of all, though, I loved the warmth, care and professionalism that Christina and Lasse showed myself and the other guests. They genuinely want their visitors to have a wonderful time, and it shows in every detail they attend to. Though I was a single traveller among couples I never felt out of place. If you want or need a few days of beauty and peace and unobtrusive attentiveness to recharge yourself, then go to Maruia River Retreat. I left feeling rejuvenated and 10 years younger! I look forward to returning again as soon as I can…
We had a lovely overnight visit on our way North. The rooms are very comfortable and roomy with beautiful views of the river and surrounding mountains. The service was friendly and attentive. The evening meal was very good and the drinks list had been thoughtfully put together featuring local products. The hot tub under the stars in amongst the trees was superb.
I recently spent two nights at Maruia River Retreat and experienced the most peaceful. relaxing stay. The location is beautiful. Floating in the hot tub among the trees at the riverside was amazing. I've never relaxed so much. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They make you feel very welcome and at home. Local, fresh ingredients are used in the meals which were all delicious. The suites are beautifully appointed with views of the river and hills. I will definitely be returning to enjoy another wonderful holiday. Thank you Maruia River Retreat.
What a lovely, peaceful place Maruia River Retreat is. The location was perfect, wonderful hosts and the food was amazing. Christina (host) is an amazing yoga instructor. If you need some time out in lovely natural surroundings this is the place to go.
