We ran a weekend yoga retreat in the beautiful Ao Marama. The setting couldn’t be
more perfect for a group trip in Golden Bay. Duan and Elizabeth are fantastic hosts,
who will go the extra mile to make sure you can make the most out of the facilities
and enjoy the surrounding native bush and the beach, which is a short walk down
the hill.
The cabins are cozy, with lovely warm showers in the en-suites and shower blocks.
There are two kitchens (indoor and outdoor), so ample space to do your own self-
catering; we went for the option of having our catering provided by Ao Marama and it
was superb, an international assortment of dishes as well as beautiful desserts.
Special dietary requirements were provided (gluten-free/peanut-free/vegan). The
hosts are also certified baristas – so you can have a high-quality cuppa on demand.
It’s an easy drive from Nelson, and really close to Collingwood and Takaka. We will
definitely be back!!!
