A Taste of Aro Hā: CANCELLED

For anyone just toying with the idea of going on a health retreat, or for seasoned devotees wanting to give a partner or friend a glimpse of what they love, a taste of Aro Hā at Kauri Cliffs could be just the experience.

Traditionally set in the southern alps, Aro Hā’s wellness programs are based on research that suggests we can transform our physical and emotional health through our daily habits.

Hosted by Aro Hā’s own co-founder Damian Chaparro and set in the Northland beauty of Kauri Cliffs, a taste of Aro Hā promises the perfect mix of healthy living, inspiration, pampering and luxury throughout one special weekend.

Event details:

11th August
Friday afternoon:

The weekend kicks off in the afternoon with a 90 minute welcome session, pillars of change, where Damian will set the scene by sharing simple but impactful practices for empowering change. The evening is at leisure for guests to enjoy the sophisticated style of hospitality that is "de-rigueur" for a Robertson Lodges stay - pre-dinner cocktails by the warm fire followed by an a la carte dinner in the beautiful surrounds of the lodge.

12th August
Saturday morning:

Begin your day with a memorable yoga session, co-facilitated by Anna Chaparro. Appropriate for all levels and the perfect way to start the day with strength, balance and ease. Following yoga enjoy a nutritious breakfast. Saturday’s mid-morning in-sight talk promises to deepen and savour the moment as guests learn to "surf the waves of life by connecting with parts of oneself that may have been overlooked”.

Saturday afternoon:

The afternoon allows plenty of free time to simply relax and enjoy the many offerings of the lodge, whether a round of golf on the renowned and spectacular course, a walk within the 6000-acres of picturesque coastal farmland, or pampering in the lovely Spa at Kauri Cliffs, immersed in a totara forest in one of the most beautiful settings anywhere.

Saturday evening:

A highlight of the weekend will be saturday night’s taste of Kauri Cliffs dinner, a five course tasting menu prepared by Kauri Cliffs’ Executive Chef Paul Froggatt and accompanied by select wines. Adding balance to the weekend, this long table convivial evening promises the usual style and sublime flavours that Kauri Cliffs guests both return for and love.

13th August

Begin your day with a second yoga session led by Anna, and followed by a nutritious breakfast. After breakfast you will be invited on a guided mindful walk as a fitting end to what promises to be an inspiring and special lodge weekend.
