Fresh Start Retreat

New Zealand’s Premier Women’s Wellness Retreat

Imagine arriving at the serene lakeside resort, greeted not with demands or decisions, but with a deep exhale. For once, everything is taken care of. Your meals are prepared, your days thoughtfully planned, and your only task is to relax, recharge, and be inspired.

At Resolution Retreats, we specialise in creating transformative experiences for women, experiences that go far beyond a holiday. This is a reset. A chance to step away from the busyness, stress, and decision fatigue of everyday life and immerse yourself in a space designed just for you.

Here, you’ll find not just rest, but inspiration, connection, and lasting tools for living well.

What to Expect on Retreat:

Beautiful private villas: 60m² of comfort and luxury, featuring a king-sized bed with premium linens, plush lounge, jacuzzi bathtub, spacious shower, indulgent toiletries, kitchenette, dining space, and outdoor patio. Your personal sanctuary to rest and restore.

Nourishing cuisine: enjoy a complete food reset with meals and snacks designed to aid digestion and restore balance and energy. Our menus focus on lean proteins, vegetables, and thoughtfully timed quality carbohydrates to leave you feeling light, balanced, and re-energised. No grocery lists, no meal prep, no dishes - just vibrant, wholesome food to reset your body and nourish you from the inside out.

Daily yoga and meditation: to reduce stress, improve flexibility, and enhance overall wellbeing. Our sessions are carefully designed to be accessible for all abilities, offering modifications and guidance so you can participate at your own pace while experiencing the physical and mental benefits of yoga and meditation.

Daily group fitness sessions: designed for all levels, helping you move with intention, strength, and joy.

Educational workshops: inspiring, practical sessions covering nutrition, self-care, meal planning, and more. Gain powerful tools and strategies to build healthy habits, create supportive systems, and set yourself up for success long after the retreat — so you can continue thriving well beyond your time with us.

Cooking demonstrations: learn clever tips and tricks to create flavourful meals and snacks that not only delight your taste buds but also support your health goals. Gain inspiration and confidence in the kitchen to make nutritious eating both enjoyable and sustainable.

Spa treatments: One complimentary Flowpresso detoxifying compression treatment or, if booked on our Unwind & Pamper package, daily 50-minute spa treatments for ultimate indulgence, designed not just for luxury, but to help your body shift from “fight or flight” into true rest and digest.

Afternoon Bliss Time: your chance to slow down. Float in the indoor heated mineral pool with views to Mount Maungatautari, unwind in the sauna, enjoy a spa treatment, or simply curl up in your private villa.
