The Retreat is a must visit if you want to get away from anywhere. From the view of the hills out to Uretiti beach, to the star filled night sky, and the amazing sunrise bursting into your room in the morning (I recommend not closing the curtains so you can wake up and see it!)
The outdoor bath is FANTASTIC. The Retreat is everything you need and want. Full kitchenette, a great bathroom.
The Waipu caves are just a couple of kilometres up the road, and Waipu is about a 10 minute drive)
Mark (the host) is super friendly and helpful. He’s done a really great job with this place. Great as a solo or couples getaway. Highly recommend!
