We recommend Forested Country Retreat to anyone looking for a home away from home in the peace and quiet of the country but within a short drive to the hub of the city. We will most certainly be back, in fact we’ve booked our yearly trip away already. We recommend the Villa to all."

Venue Hire Feedback

Chris Ten-Wolde - Hypnotist and Past Life Therapist, Auckland - "Thank you for hosting a lovely weekend at the Forested Space Country Retreat. Our workshop went smoothly with your wonderful co-ordination skills. All the little bits and pieces on the day were taken care of. We also enjoyed the lovely luncheon. The retreat is in a very quiet peaceful atmosphere and I am sure that this added energy to our workshop. The property was clean and tidy and has a real warm feeling to it. Many thanks for all your help and we look forward to the next workshop in your retreat."

Deidre Wilton - Metaphysics Teacher, Taupo - "The facilities at Forested Space Country Retreat are exactly what any Spiritual person would love to use. The energy Rachel has created there is incredibly peaceful and serene, and the building itself and its interior are a wonderful combination of the charm of an old villa and all the conveniences of a modern home. The food is delicious and the hospitality extended to both students and teachers made the entire day a pleasure from start to finish. I just wish there were more facilites such as this around New Zealand for us to use."

Rosie Butler-Winemaker - LIME ROCK Wines - "LIME ROCK Wines used the Forested Space cottage to hold a ‘Fun Introduction to Wines’ tasting in June, 2006.
The facilities were very special, helping to make the wine tasting a great success. The cottage has a friendly relaxed atmosphere and has a good kitchen.
Rachel was very helpful at all times."
