Parohe Island Retreat

Parohe was a beautiful setting for our group gathering at Labour weekend. Tucked away in our spacious cabins in a fantastic bush setting we were sheltered and enjoyed a great occasion for the variety of ages in our group. From fishing off the wharf to yoga, saunas bushwalks and great meals there was something for everyone. Glen and Vicki made our stay seamless and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend and wish we could have stayed longer.

I loved Parohe! Vicki and Glyn are very kind and welcoming; I will always be grateful for the weekend there! The food is delicious and made with love <3 The sky is fuuuuull of stars, you will see beautiful birds, walk in nature and practice yoga in beautiful spots. Very special! Thank you!

We went to Parohe for my 70th Birthday celebration with my family, 9 adults and 6 children. It was amazing and the managers Glyn and Vicky were fantastic and couldn't do enough to assist us in making it a memorable experience for all. Lots of activities were offered and despite the weather not being great the family thoroughly enjoyed the Island experience. The cabins were cosy and clean with beautiful views, the food was fresh, healthy and delicious. We'd definitely be keen to come stay their again..Highly recommend for a peaceful,tranquil setting.

Simply the best! I am such a fan of Parohe Island Retreat…. So much so that I almost want to keep it a secret! Glyn and Vicki could not do more to make it memorable and accommodate my every need. They go above and beyond, not to mention being wonderful people. The property is a piece of paradise and so unique - perfect for a weekend escape to nature and away from the busyness of life. There is so much to do from an adventure perspective, and you can do as little or as much as you like. The accommodation was immaculate, providing privacy and quality, and the food….. it was outstanding. A plant based food diet was quite new to me, and I found it so nourishing and filling!! It was fresh, beautifully presented, and Vicki did such a superb job!! Between the food, accommodation, environment, activities (such as Pilates in the bush and walking trails), and company, this place is paradise and full of adventure. Thanks Vicki and Glyn for such a memorable stay!! I will be back.

I was very lucky to stay at the retreat over Labour weekend. It was a wonderful relaxing experience. Accommodation was lovely, with gorgeous views, tranquil set among native bush. A big thankyou toVicki and Glyn they were excellent hosts. So helpful and friendly. All and all just wonderful.

Our experience at Parohe Island Retreat was nothing short of magical! Tucked away in a tranquil part of Auckland, it provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The hosts were warm and attentive, ensuring we felt comfortable and cared for throughout our stay. The amenities were excellent, catering to all our needs. We particularly loved the serene atmosphere and breathtaking scenery. It’s an ideal spot for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with outstanding hospitality!

Parohe Island Retreat was a magical place! If you love a bit of remoteness, no cars, people, boats and just what scenery, birdlife and dips in the water (and pool!) and enjoy some healthy living for a weekend then this is the place for you. They even have onsite Yoga and sometimes Massause onsite along with some short walks, outdoor hot baths (and showers if you want!) and lovely communial areas if you fancy a cuppa, board/grass games, kayaking, volleyball, paddleball, croquet, even an outdoor natural gym! Plus reading and relaxing spots everywhere. And all of this is down to the absolutely beautiful hosts (inside and out) Glyn & Vicki who treated us with the 'our house is your house' mentality and would bend over backwards to help make our stay as best as it could be. Go get back in touch with your inner self!

Our stay at Parohe Island Retreat was absolutely wonderful! The retreat is nestled in a serene corner of Auckland, offering a truly relaxing getaway. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The facilities were top-notch, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed unwinding in the peaceful surroundings and taking in the stunning views. Highly recommend for anyone looking to recharge in nature with exceptional hospitality!
