Fern and Feather Retreat

I've taken my partner for 2 'Duos Hotstone Massages' now, and it's safe to say it's become a regular treat for us. The team are amazing, they talked to us about any preferences or medical needs and made sure we were completely informed and aware of what was going to happen. The hour absolutely flew by and the hot stone touch was absolute magic. One of my favourite parts was the weighted blankets, which were heated to a perfect temperature to make sure our bodies were relaxed. I can't wait for our next massage!

A wonderfully relaxing experience. The outdoor baths are in a beautiful outdoor setting that is so inviting, options to bring your own snacks and drinks and there is even a cute cat that comes to visit. Highly recommend, we will be back.

Wedding gift that was graciously received! 1 hour soak with the tuis visiting us, followed by a 1.5 hour hot stone massage. We were so relaxed!

Absolutely phenomenal experience. The outdoor baths are incredibly tranquil, and I was treated to a visit by a local tui enjoying the bird feeder.The relaxation massage was the best I've had - complete bliss.You will be so relaxed after leaving you might want someone else to drive you home!

Cannot recommend Fern and Feather Retreat enough. The baths set in the outdoors amongst native busy, candles and fairy lights is absolutely magical. This followed by a massage was bliss. The massage utilized hot stone and other heat packs that added such a nice element to the relaxation and massage itself. The facilities and little extras available (tea, water, jandals to use) was such a nice touch. Gretchen is such a gentle and kind presence who is passionate about massage and wellbeing. She took the time to explain everything and didn't rush you at all, absoloutely money well spent. Thank you Gretchen!

The 90min hot stone massage I recieved was absolute bliss. Gretchen is amazing at what she does and how she does it. It is by far the best relaxation massage I have had anywhere. The whole experience is one of being welcomed, made to feel at ease and that the whole world revolves around you as Gretchen massages the cares of the day away. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough.

Love Gretchen's hot stone massages! They're so good. It is now go to present when anyone asks me what I want for xmas/birthday.

I am a local massage therapist. Gretchen is another level. just you should try! warmth from stones and soothing strokes are in good harmony.

I had been meaning to book in with Fern and Feather Retreat for a long time..as i had been recommended by a friend. I wasn't disappointed. The environment was tranquil and peaceful right from the start to finish. The surroundings are beautiful with the Tuis and Bell birds singing in the back ground. Massage was so relaxing! I highly recommend and will be back
