🌟TIME to celebrate🌟

We are very proud to share that the Retreat has made TIME’s influential 2024 ‘World’s Greatest Places’ list!

We are still pinching ourselves with the news that we have been selected to be included in TIME’s list of The World’s Greatest Places of 2024! 🌏

This annual list highlights 100 extraordinary destinations to visit and stay. We are the only accommodation provider to be featured from New Zealand. TIME specially acknowledged the Retreat’s Billion Star Dining experience in this year’s list. Regarded as New Zealand’s premier ‘star-grazing’ experience, Billion Star Dining combines exceptional cuisine and guided stargazing in the Retreat’s purpose built Pukaki Wine Cellar Observatory.

Our team has worked tirelessly to create and deliver exceptional accommodation, stargazing, cuisine and wellness experiences. we are absolutely thrilled to be included it reaffirms what our guests have been telling us for years.

Absolutely spectacular – would recommend to anyone! What a spectacular experience I had here. I booked a couple of nights R&R just for myself to chill out…..and Ooooh!……what a chill-out I had! I was looked after beautifully by all the wonderful lovely staff, while also enjoying the beautiful privacy and tranquility of the luxury villa (Villa Matariki). I had the most incredibly delicious and nutritious (and plenty of it!) food delivered to my door by the chefs themselves (the lamb was exquisite!). Tom and Rafa are both exceptional chefs and also provide lovely service. They catered for my dairy-free diet better than anywhere I have been before including to-die-for chocolatey treats which I arrived back to after a cycle through part of the stunning Alps 2 Ocean trail. And they bake bread daily for the morning too!
