Matua NightsYour stay may be a night or two at Matua Gardens Retreat after walking either of the superb commercial tracks or just hiking the hills and beaches. Soaking away the aches in an aromatherapy spa bath may be the perfect end to a spectacular visit to Banks Peninsula. Or perhaps a treatment from one of our massage therapists on site or in Akaroa. For many people Matua Gardens Retreat is the destination. Celebrations are popular. Choose a menu and have Sue create a dinner just for the two of you to savour in your own private dining room. Dance on the deck or enjoy the romance of the open fire. After dinner the magic of this special evening continues and you don’t have to go anywhere. One guest recently said it was like the lifestyles of the rich & famous. Late check outs are available. If you only have a 24 hour break we recommend arriving mid afternoon for a wonderful massage, dining in, sleeping late and savouring a late brunch followed by a generous Victorian afternoon tea before checking out at 3 pm. |
