Maruia River Retreat (just south of Murchison)

Stillness and the natural environment is at the heart of the Maruia River Retreat experience.

The sound of the swiftly flowing Maruia River and the native bird life accompany you throughout each day of nurturing presence here; while swimming in the outdoor magnesium pool or forest bathing in the stream-fed outdoor spa, or stepping out of the infrared chromatherapy sauna nestled amongst the beech trees – every activity and setting invites you to be at one with the surrounding native forest environment.

In some ways the Maruia River Retreat is a love affair with New Zealand nature.
