“Every aspect of my stay was flawless. Every guest is welcomed lovingly, and nothing is too much trouble for the hosts & employees of Maruia Retreat. I was able to totally switch off & feel looked after, but I also had plenty of quiet, restful time. Don't hesitate to book if you are looking for a luxe nature retreat – this has you more than covered.”
