This is our most popular location, with the added value and luxury of two wonderful nights away on a structured retreat for you and your spouse! Especially designed for those who want to take it up a gear and engage with their spouse to strengthen the core of their marriage. All our Marriage Retreats focus on the ‘Seven Essentials to a Healthy Marriage’ including practical application, communication skills and tools to understand each other in a new way, and includes couple processing times (with no forced open sharing).
These retreats will help you understand what makes your spouse really tick to restore communication and intimacy! Also includes tools to help prevent frustration in your communication and restore intimacy in your relationship. The extra night away together will give you more time to process and even to go out on a ‘date’, before rushing back to the busyness of your lives. We would love for you to join us in Sunny Nelson!

The view over historical Russell as you walk the track through kiwi bush lands to the beach and township from Titore Lodge. (15 min downhill). Hire E Bikes and explore, or extend your time as guests at the lodge to go fishing with the local fishing charters. The choice is yours!
