The bed was bliss, the food nourishing for my body and soul, and the sauna and spa pool and beautiful sacred statues made me feel I was in Bali. Thank you for your kindness, love and nurturing, and for creating such a beautiful sacred space!

I was seeking a place in New Zealand where I could totally regroup and get back to basics. I wanted to enjoy peaceful timeout and commune with the New Zealand bush, away from the demands of work, family, mobile phones and emails. I found such a place at Pujjis. Pujjis is welcoming but not intrusive, and I was able to enjoy the laid back communal atmosphere if I felt like it, or chill out on my own in the outdoor sauna and spa. Listening to the comforting sounds of fresh stream water passing over rocks, and Tuis singing in the surrounding bush were certainly soul reviving. I enjoyed my stay so much, along with wholesome meals including scrummy muesli, that I had to extend my stay and have since been back for a second visit. I highly recommend Pujjis for a taste of New Zealand bush and a place of retreat from our high-tech lives.

About Pujjis

Pujjis is a large wooden villa whose back veranda nudges the beautiful waters of the Maitai River. From this extensive veranda you can sit and watch the river go by, lazing in the hammock, reading a favourite book or simply snoozing. The spa and the sauna overlook the river and you can lie in the spa at night watching the stars to the sound of the river. Wide wooden steps take you down to the river where in summer you can swim. There is a large guest lounge and dining area, with plenty of room to stretch out as well as interacting with us and the other guests, if you choose.

There are many places for solitude within and around the property. The Massage Room is available for massage and bodywork and postural awareness. The sanctuary room is available for yoga, movement and bodywork, to listen to music and enjoy quiet time..

We are only 8 minutes drive from Nelson. It takes about 25 minutes by bike and 1.5 hours walking.
