The Good Life Retreat has been designed and built with relaxation, privacy and a true nature-immersed experience in mind. Each exquisite room ensures sole access to the Retreat, its luxury facilities as well as our unique animal feeding experience. Make yourself at home in our bespoke accommodation in Cambridge, swim in the heated pool, soak in the spa, enjoy the sauna after a workout in our state-of-the-art gym. And don't forget to explore our wine cellar before dinner. Roasting marshmallows over the firepit after cooking pizzas on the wood fired outdoor over, it doesn't get better than this. And of course, there are the many animals to feed and enjoy. Immerse yourself in the beauty of our New Zealand landscape from bedroom and beyond.
