Arriving in sunny Nelson we enjoyed a delicious lunch overlooking the Tasman Bay before driving south to the Maruia River Retreat, our destination for the weekend. Here we enjoyed yoga, infrared and Finnish saunas, massages, forest walks, the spa and river swims, all beautifully nestled amongst the ancient native forest on the Maruia River. We left feeling re-energised, blissfully relaxed and longing for our next retreat in May 2021.
