Something for the mind, body and soul is what is on offer through a new venture at Te Kiteroa Lodge, near Waimate.
The historic lodge, which is owned by Ann and Gary Dennison, has been run by the couple as a bed and breakfast.
But their daughter, Rose Tautari, has teamed up with her mother to take the premises and its native surrounds in a new direction.
The goal is to run mini retreats, offering an “immersive experience of meditation, mindfulness, and self-development”, along with mindfood-style talks on interesting topics.
