Nestled in nature and just an hour from Christchurch, Manawa Retreat is the ideal place to return to after a day of activities. Whether you’re here for skiing, hiking, or simply want to slow down and soak in the surroundings, our retreat offers a warm, welcoming space to rest and recharge. After a day out, come back to cosy, thoughtfully designed spaces where you can truly unwind.
Enjoy the sauna, take a dip in the salt-heated pool, or relax in the spa under the stars. We’ve got meals covered too, with nourishing retreat-style catering including continental breakfast, packed lunches, and wholesome dinners. You’ll be well-fueled and ready for whatever the day brings.
Manawa is more than a place to stay, it’s a space to breathe, reset, and reconnect. If you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or in a small group, you’ll find comfort, calm, and a little bit of magic here, no matter the season.
