Nature-based Approaches for a Resilient Future: Bridging the Gaps.
From your seat on the watertaxi you are leaving the stresses of city life behind and immersing yourself in a stunning natural environment. You’ll experience life like a local at a hidden, off-grid gem on the famous Queen Charlotte Track. This transformative trip is ideal for solo women walkers, or couples. It provides opportunity for creative expression, healing arts, as well as space for goal planning with rest and ways of giving back to support true holistic wellbeing.

Walking is great for wellbeing and there are no cars here in our Brilliant Backyard! The air is fresh and clean and the beauty uplifting.

Guided meditative walks in the native forest near the wellbeing studio are also available.
"...stunningly scenery..!"
Cool off with an independent swim in the "pool" at a local beach. Be inspired by the stunning scenery and bluewater of Endeavour Inlet. You might see dolphins and surface with real seaweed in your hair! (The studio has an en suite bathroom for changing.)
"I swam off the jetty and went in three times...it was beautiful!" ~ from a guest after enjoying a refreshing dip off our jetty.
Post swim, enjoy your DIY body pampering with indoor, hot showers and local, Marlborough-made botanical soaps and lotions.
Connect with yourself and the natural world. Enjoy "tea on the track", with yoga and stunning views on a private deck at Bluewater Lodge.
Don’t just observe the locals as you pass through the Inlet on the track or the mailboat. Come and live like one; embrace the opportunity to get close to the natural world. Re-kindle your imagination, set your intentions and mail these to yourself via the mailboat.
