Location

Located in Moores Bay, Bon Accord Harbour - approximately 45 mins away from Auckland CBD by vehicle to Sandspit Wharf.  Travel on the new motorway to Warkworth! Your Retreat starts as soon as you jump on a 20-minute direct water taxi to Parohe Island Retreat wharf.

Our private sheltered floating marina and a mooring is available for vessels up to 90ft.  Let us know if you wish to dock at our place.

Travel to us via paddle-board, helicopter or seaplane!  Alternatively private water taxi or scheduled ferry can be arranged through Kawau Cruises.

See the list of recommended transport options below.

Before you arrive…

When packing, we suggest you travel light.

Dress down as much as you like as activewear day and night works best!
Good sturdy shoes are essential as our paths and tracks are not sealed, and our cabins are spread out…after all we are an activity-based wellness retreat!

When you arrive, meet our Team at Enchantment (we could have called this Reception but Enchanting is what it is). Bush enclosed with all-day sun, a protected area which is home of the Pavilion studio, which has a wrap-around dining and an activity deck with an adjacent kitchen. 

Our main garden curves around one side of the Enchantment Pavilion with baths, massage, and sauna overlooking a natural pond and beyond via the Glade Path, the outdoor gym area, and one of our yoga platforms.
