Maraehako Bay Retreat - Things to Enjoy Situated on beautiful Maraehako Bay, our retreat offers the absolute best way to find adventure and rest alike. We have a list of unique activities that will make your stay here unforgettable! Enjoy a soak in our spa pool, after an energetic day exploring the bay by kayak, or relax and enjoy the scenery in a hammock by a soft cascading waterfall. If you're keen for some action, come out for a day's fishing and enjoy the results for dinner! Take a safari out to sea, meet the dolphins of the bay and see coastline that can only be viewed by boat. Explore by horseback this amazing valley in a unique and treasured part of New Zealand. Learn Maori history, visit Pa sites and meet esteemed Maori spiritual carvers hard at work at their fascinating craft. Stroll through native bush on a leisurely walk, and discover Cape Runaway's deep history. Whether you choose to relax in our top of the line spa pool, on a hammock over a stream, or sunbathing on the lawn you can loose yourself to the sound of our waterfall gently splashing in harmony with the waves of the pacific ocean lapping in the bay.
We call the pacific ocean our front yard. Lay on the beach in the sun, sit on the rocks and read a book, explore the bay, or just stand with your morning coffee or tea looking over the pristine blue horizon. At the days end, you will be inspired by the beauty of our sunsets. Afterwards, warm your hands by our open fire, talk with friends, and enjoy the occasional complimentary seafood platter provided by your host.
Jump in one of our 12 kayaks and explore the bay. Discover channels around an island, wildlife, caves and more! It's a fun way to see the area and enjoy the water. Don't forget the camera!

Take the opportunity to watch the Maori Spirit Carvers at work. Tribal carvings are a traditional decoration for the front of the Maori meeting house and as gifts for special people. Each carving contains designs specific to the local tribe. In this way every item is both unique and identifiable. While the carvers work they do not need plans to create their often large masterpieces, as they are inspired directly from the spirits of their ancestors. This is the reason for the divisor which separates the Noa (common folk) from the Tapu (sacred/forbidden area). This is a spiritual event deeply rooted in the culture of the people and the way they tell their own story!
Laugh in wonder as the dolphins swim beside you on our scenic boat charters. Look over the bow to see them race us! Whale watching is available and Penguins make their home next to the resort and often come visit. They are a magnificent bird but can be hard to spot unless you know where to look. When you stay with us we will be your guide.
Ride on trails through our beautiful valley.
