Winter Warmer
We feel you, winters in the North Island in New Zealand can be a bit damp and depressing, but it is also the perfect time to curl up near a fireplace, cuddle with loved ones and have some cozy slower time. We have a few ideas that might help to make the winter days a bit warmer!
Mulled Wine
Nothing is more Blended with cinnamon, cloves and citrus fruits to give a rich aromatic, our mulled wine is fantastically simple to make and ideal for cosy winter nights by the fire. Why not give ours a try!
Massage
Pampering yourself is neither selfish nor indulgent. It’s an essential part of self-care that can have a positive impact on your mental health and well-being. It can help to reduce stress, improve your self-esteem and mood, contribute to better sleep and offer time for self-reflection.
Endless to-do lists, rushing around, overthinking and the constant pressures of work and family life can leave you feeling overwhelmed and drained, both mentally and physically. Unwind and destress at the Lodge, while spending time in nature. Enjoy relaxing activities, such as taking a bath with our premium bath salts that are infused with locally grown botanicals and premium essential oils, or experience a soothing massage at the expert hands of our skilled massage therapist.
A little pampering with your friends or loved ones one weekend may be just the break you need from the chaos of everyday life.
A cosy evening by the fireplace
The warmth of the fire, a good old-fashioned board game, hot cocoa, and just us. Sometimes, taking a digital detox is exactly what we need to rest, relax and unwind on a cold winter’s night
Organise a get-together
Winter is the best time to get together with our friends and families, have a potluck, and organise
Book your next getaway
Nothing cures Winter Blues faster than planning for a trip or getaway. The expectation of an upcoming trip itself can do half of the heavy lifting of the mood already!
