The Kahikatea Tree
The Heart of Our Retreat

The Kahikatea tree serves as the heart of our retreat. Visitors are encouraged to take peaceful walks to the tree, engage in journaling, or simply sit in silence and reflect. This sacred space has witnessed countless moments of healing, epiphanies, and emotional release. Whether you seek to scream, cry, or find peace, the tree provides a private sanctuary for your soul.
At our cabin, you have the freedom to craft your own retreat experience. Whether you wish to reflect, meditate, write, or simply relax, our space is designed for you to connect with nature and yourself. Access a curated selection of books on meditation, health, and wellness to guide your journey.
​
Our aim is to provide a peaceful environment that encourages self-care and spiritual exploration. Here, you can slow down, breathe deeply, and let your heart lead the way.
Come and discover the healing power of nature. Your journey awaits in our tranquil cabin retreat, where you can find peace, creativity, and connection.

A Quiet Place To Heal
Nestled in the heart of sheep and beef farmland, your experience at The Wishhouse Retreat can be as peaceful as you'd like it. You can scream out your grief under The Kahikatea Tree with no one for miles around, or sit quietly and fall asleep there.
At your choice, Shelley will be at hand should you need her, but will respect your need for isolation and quiet.
