Maruia River Retreat is owned & operated by consummate professionals Cristina & Lasse, who seem to be highly skilled in many areas. From the moment of booking to the final farewell, every detail was considered & executed with the u**ost warmth & care. I was looking for a retreat which offered an element of pampering, quality facilities, relaxation, immersion in nature & good food. It boasted all of that & more. Nestled in serene native bush and situated alongside the charming Maruia River... you feel yourself instantly melt & succumb to the sounds & vibes of nature as soon as you arrive. Each Villa has complete privacy and is surrounded by lush bush with river views. The heated magnesium swimming pool was a dream to swim in... the water source comes from a pure mountain spring... no chlorine in sight. The Hot tub sits privately amongst tall native trees and overlooks the river – totally dreamy. The double infrared sauna is a stone's throw away from the hot tub and offers the ultimate relaxation & rejuvenation. There is an outdoor shower next to the hot tub to indulge in your own hot/cold therapy. Don't even get me started on the massage & facial trea**ents – they were 10/10. The quality of locally sourced ingredients & exquisite homemade meals deserve a separate write-up of their own. The food was made & served with love & was of international quality every day. The selection of local wines & spirits was spot on too. 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.
