What guests had to say...

  • “I recently went on the Bali Wellness retreat with Tina and LOVED every second of it! The value you get from having Tina as your host and guide was fantastic - having the local knowledge, relationships and recommendations at your fingertips meant we hit the ground running and we got to see and experience some of the best Bali had to offer. The activities included from wining and dining at some of the best local eateries and beach clubs, to the ebike tour, to the incredible day spa experience at Sundari and not to forget the authentic cooking class, were all absolute highlights from our retreat. Tina made everything easy, nothing was ever a problem and she was happy to cater to individual needs. Tina is one of the most passionate ambassadors of Bali and that certainly rubbed off on me - I can't wait to go back and experience more of the beautiful Bali!”

    - Ashleigh Tewnion, Nelson

  • "Tina not only curated a top notch retreat - beautiful accommodation, excellent cafe/restaurant choices, great shopping recommendations, and fun excursions - she created an environment from minute one that was welcoming, warm and down to earth. Along with a great bunch of ladies, lots of laughs were had! Starting each day with a beautiful yoga practice (thank you Jane Pascoe) also provided a calm and grounding start to each day, leaving us all relaxed and open to how the day would unfold from there. Tina's extensive research and planning, as well as the 'in the moment' decisions tailored to the group throughout the retreat, came together so seamlessly, making for a stress free and fun time. Her love of Bali and the Balinese people is infectious. Whether it's your first time to Bali or a return visit, if you're lucky enough to be able to do one of Tina's retreats it will be a memory you cherish forever."

    - Karen Brightwell, Dunedin

  • "I had such an incredible retreat experience with Tina & Jane. It had everything I was after: yoga, shopping, beautiful food, incredible women and adventures whilst still time to chill and relax. If anyone is on the fence; GO FOR IT!! Tina is a whizz and so knowledgable for the best places. Highly recommend and thank you for a wonderful experience!!!!"

    - Michelle Fowler, Half Light Studio, Hawkes Bay

  • "This retreat exceeded my expectations, I did not do any research about Bali before the trip so I was blown away! It ticked all the boxes for me, starting with moving your body with yoga, to shopping to yummy Kai! A highlight for me was the biking tour through Ubud, a cultural experience and insight into the way the Balinese people live! My mum was the one who booked this as a mother and daughter trip for my birthday. What a beautiful way to spend quality time with my mama! I will treasure the memories from this trip!"

    - Shaianne Morgan, Wellington

  • "One week of “the best day ever” in Bali with Tina, Jane and a group of awesome ladies. Perfectly curated re-set with a balance of yoga, sight seeing, swimming, luxury, shopping, food and beauty treatments. Tina was there every step of the way, knowledgable and a vibe!"

    - Amanda Dasler, Nelson

  • "Gawd, how good. A week where every decision is taken off your hands and you can go with the flow. Want to find a particular pair of shoes? Tina will deliver you to the door. Need to understand why your aging woman body is cramping your style? Rosie will softly deliver home truths and sympathise. These gals have the most exquisite package of everything you'd want to do on a Bali holiday but would be overridden by your family. They have set up fun exercise, incredible food experiences, sights, spa indulgence and a good splattering of brilliant company, all so you can chill, repair, and high five your life choices. I needed this, and Tina and Rosie delivered. Thank you for bringing on the belly laughs and sharing all your knowledge and connections to such a beautiful culture. So. Much. Goodness."
