We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the nature retreat. The retreat was the perfect relaxed atmosphere for our easter break and we
enjoyed hanging out on the deck with the sun beating down on us everyday. The retreat was really warm and had excellent facilities
and nothing was ever a hassel.  Surronded by thick native bush, it was such an ideal place to get away from the city.  Beautiful views
across Misletoe bay and Onahau too. Had a crack at part of the Queen Charlotte track which is not far behind the retreat and also
provided supberb views of the QC and Kenepuru Sound. We were also lucky enough to run into Killer Whales and Bottle Nosed
Dolphins in the bay. Thanks to Kathie for organising it and meeting us to help lug our gear up to the bach. Thanks to the owenrs for
letting it out too

Just wanted to say that it was great to deal with you and we had a great time. It was
great to be able to take my dog along too - she had a great time. I have already been
back on your site looking at the next place to go! The guys at
Sounds Storage were
great too - especially dropping off the car for us which made it so easy to get off the
water taxi and be on our way.
