Taking time for yourself is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

In the midst of our bustling lives, we lose our sense of fun. We start to burn out and get grumpy and that’s no way to live! It's time to step away from the chaos and give yourself the opportunity to reset and rejuvinate your mind, body and soul in the great company of other women who also are seeking the same things as you.

Join me, CJ and Justine from Kiwiesque for a luxury weekend Retreat that will be a true escape from everything - you’ll stay for three nights and feel like you’ve been away a week. There is absolutely nothing for you to worry about or do, the time is all yours to enjoy without thinking about what is coming next - a real treat for the busy woman. This Retreat is all the best of life brought together into one long weekend. We will move our bodies each morning in a slow sunrise flow class to unravel stress and help your body feel better and then end each afternoon with a restorative class and meditation to unwind you even further. The yoga is suitable for all levels even if you have never done any before.

What’s a weekend away without some tasty food? We love good food and have you well covered with every meal included in your stay. Get ready for an unforgettable dining experience as Chef Simon Lillico from Oak Estate takes over the kitchen for two nights. Known for his fabulous, creative dishes, Simon brings a taste of local flavors and a passion for his craft to every plate. He'll be right there preparing your meal, happy to chat and share his inspirations or give a peek into what delicious dishes are coming your way. It's more than just dinner—it’s a chance to enjoy an evening of great food, stories, and good company.

And of course, what’s a visit to the Hawkes Bay without the opportunity to enjoy the winery trails. We have arranged for Takaro Trails to take us out for the day on the Sunday to explore the gorgeous local wineries on e-bikes. Begining with a visit to the renowned Elephant Hill or Te Awanga wineries, where you can enjoy a glass or two in a stunning setting then continuing on to Clearview Winery for a long, leisurely lunch—chilled beverage in hand and good company all around. Once you've savored every moment, we'll take care of the rest, bringing you home relaxed and content, ending your day on a perfectly warm, relaxing note.

There’s nothing better than kicking back for a massage or a facial and you will have the opportunity to book a treatment in the lodge without even needing to go anywhere. You can float from the pool to the massage table without even needing to get changed - the ultimate in relaxation! A very spectular weekend if I do say so myself, and a great way to spend quality time with your favourite females in your life.
