RETREAT BOOK-OUT REVIEW

I had the pleasure of facilitating a retreat at Maruia this year. Because of Lasse and Cristina and their team I was able to enjoy myself as a facilitator as much as the guests did, since everything was so beautifully taken care of. They went above and beyond to make sure they were a few steps ahead of me, making everything seamless.

The meals were incredibly special and the thought put into the menus was truly magical and was some of the best food I’ve ever had, not just because of the taste but because of the intention and love that was put into it.

I can’t put into words the hospitality of the team at Maruia and the magic of the environment but am so very grateful for such an enjoyable experience for myself and the retreat guests. I feel lucky to have been able to run a retreat there and would confidently say it’s the best place to host a retreat in New Zealand.
