Te Hine Ruru is a luxurious waterfront retreat set on forty acres in the beautiful Bay of Islands, New Zealand. It is a serene haven focused on inspiring peace and well-being in all guests through rest and relaxation amidst the area’s beautiful flora and fauna.

Te Hine Ruru’s retreats are tailored to suit each guest; you choose whether to book a massage, join in a yoga or meditation session, go kayaking on the Bay or simply relax and enjoy the peace and quiet our idyllic retreat offers.

The land Te Hine Ruru is set on is teeming with native wildlife; you may see or hear weka, kiwi, quail, pukeko, tui, fantails, Ruru or kingfishers during your stay here.

Te Hine Ruru Retreat owner Cushla Sheridan has poured her heart and soul into creating a sacred space to be nurtured and to reconnect, and she is glad to share it with others who wish to make it part of their journey. Cushla is a qualified therapist in multiple modalities, including therapeutic massage, yoga, EFT tapping, sound healing, woman's wellbeing and health ( in particular menopausal yoga retreats) and offers these therapies and more to all guests choosing to stay at Te Hine Ruru.

Freedom and enrichment are the goals here at Te Hine Ruru: you can do as much or as little as you want and enjoy the space to reflect and explore to your heart’s content.
