An incredible new retreat with a focus on wellness and sustainability has opened up just a short ferry trip away, on Kawau Island. 

Parohe Island Retreat is all about getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and reconnecting with yourself, and with nature.

Parohe translates to a ‘relaxed, easy-going mood’ and that is exactly how you feel as you arrive at the natural oasis situated on Kawau Island, a jewel in the Hauraki Gulf.

Nestled in 20 hectares of native bush, luxurious Scandinavian-inspired accommodation, organic gardens, and orchards with land and sea activities; Parohe hints towards a deepening connection with our environment. 

With a selection of 13 cabins, two cabanas, the villa, or Honeymoon Cottage, you are spoiled for choice. Aotearoa crafted amenities, including naturopathic grade herbal teas from Forage and Bloom and sumptuous spa products from Real World in the sunny Hawkes Bay, help you unplug, unwind and get back to the good life. 

You can simply stay in the stunning accommodation on offer, or you can book in for a two-, three-, or five-night package, which can include yoga, meditation, massages, workshops, and nature walks on the island.

So, if you are keen to hit refresh and get grounded, visit www.parohe.co.nz to book your stay.
