Host Review Score

Jen

Te Mahuru Retreat is often described as magical. It is a special place that is peaceful & beautiful with all rooms and both hot tubs having stunning views with super friendly hosts.

Jen and Paul bought this BnB in November 2018. A lot of work has taken place to re-brand, update and make their dream of helping people escape the rat race and help reconnect guests with the special people in their lives into a reality.

We are only a 3- 5 minutes from the shops and the heart of Kaikoura but we are surrounded by quite farmlands and pet pigs and sheep.
