An enchanting Wellness Retreat with accommodation and camping nestled among organic gardens and rainforest in Kumara, West Coast.

Greenstone Retreat is in a lovely bush setting on the outskirts of the village. Enjoy the peace and quiet with abundant birdlife, trees and wild gardens. Very little noise or traffic and yet only 5-minute walk/ride to the cycle trail and walking tracks, the Cafe, hotel, dairy, park and the village. Close to river and lake to play and explore and 7km from the beach for sunset and greenstone fossicking.

Just 20mins drive from Hokitika and Greymouth, the West Coast Wilderness Trail passes right through Kumara, other classic tourist stops can be found within an hours drive and Christchurch is only 3hrs away. We're in the middle of everywhere, and away from it all and the perfect base camp for your holiday.

The EVOLve studio on site hosts weekly yoga classes and retreats featuring meditation, breathwork and sound healing. Private sessions are available as well as the regular scheduled classes. The healing hut is used by local masseuses and an osteopath - contact us or see our website for details. Other events are often on offer.

The retreat has a range of accommodation options. The "Grandmother" on the property is the self-contained Villa, dating back to 1881. Seriously spacious with 3 bedrooms, incorporating 3 queen beds and 2 singles, yet wonderfully cosy whilst retaining historical character. This holiday home boasts comfortable rooms, a wood burning fireplace, electric heaters, self contained full kitchen, inviting dining and lounge areas for everyone to relax. The bathroom includes both a shower and huge clawfoot bathtub.

The nest and family bunk rooms tucked behind the villa have access to everything you need for an effortless holiday: feed your team in the undercover outdoor kitchen, BBQ or picnic in the wild natural garden, entertain in the Den lounge, and enjoy the pristine bathrooms next door. Sleep well on comfortable beds, relax on bean bags, snuggle in with blankets and hot water bottles and connect via free wifi. Tea and coffee facilities, full bedding and towels provided.

The refurbished retro caravan Lolly (also known as the cheeky youngest child!) makes for a cozy, romantic, low effort retreat experience with its own little garden.

There are flat separated unpowered, powered and tent sites scattered around the gardens. There is an undercover outdoor kitchen and BBQ for those not in the villa, and modern shared bathroom facilities, as well as a comfortable Den lounge with good free wifi, books and games. Greenstone Retreat is an oasis for like-minded travellers where you can meet new people and find yourself outside of the demands of day-to-day life. The affordable pricing allows diverse people to invest their valuable time and attention into a longer stay, creating a cosy feeling of community. With the massages and yoga onsite being an extra bonus. The gardens are great for exploring, including the yoga path, a trampoline, hammocks and painted stones hidden around the site. The property and staff are environmentally conscious, with full recycling and composting and cleaning products are natural and chemical free. Guests are encouraged to stay longer than one night to reduce their environmental impact, to reduce travel fatigue and relax to take in the beauty of the natural environment.
