Ridge Country Retreat
The vision is to provide a place of sanctuary away from the hectic and stressful existence that many of us identify as normal living. A place of quiet bliss, where introspection and reflection is a natural reaction to the environment. A place where people can focus on themselves and their well-being, their present and their future. A place of knowledge and learning, sharing this wealth to all that seek it. And hopefully, a place that inspires.
Te Wahi Ora Women’s Retreat
Women are often the carers and the ‘doers’ but sometimes need time that is dedicated to them. Do you have a stressful job? Are you caring for someone and need respite? Have you been unwell? Is a relationship troubling you and you just need some time to yourself? Perhaps you are travelling New Zealand and want to experience the wonderful west coast of Auckland or hike in the Waitakere Ranges? Or maybe you and a friend are planning a ‘girls get-away’ weekend? Or it could simply be that you feel like getting out of the city, spending some time in the sea air and falling asleep to the sound of the waves. Women have been enjoying Te Wahi Ora Women’s Retreat beachside accommodation for the past 25 years.
