What our guests and clients are saying about us...

08/05/07	I believe that there comes a time in everybody’s life when we all need a place of sanctuary, a place where we can unwind be ourselves and escape from the stresses that life brings along.  I found Lothlorien Retreat to be that very place, a place of refuge, a sanctuary, a home away from home, an escape from the everyday stresses of life, a place where I could have time to reflect on what is really important to me in my life.  Lothlorien is set in the most tranquil of settings and the best thing is that you get the entire place to yourself which includes all the privacy in the world. The hosts are the most awesome warm hearted people you can meet.  Wendy’s treatments are fantastic and equivalent to those of which you would receive in a day spa!  THANK YOU so very much for Lothlorien, Wendy and Paul.  It truly is one of those unique, one of a kind places that is so very rare to find. – Tania, Christchurch.

31/03/07	I heard about Lothlorien through the Naturopathic College and decided then and there that this was the place I wanted to stay during my one week workshop. It was a great choice! After each intense day at the College it was wonderful to come back to the restorative, peaceful atmosphere of this lovely cottage and have a chat and a laugh with vibrant, warm and most helpful host, Wendy. I will be back next year!  – Ursula Muller, Whangarei
18/03/07	Lothlorien is a warm and welcoming place to stay, with lots of those little extras that make all the difference, like the infrared sauna, beautifully made up beds, and a fun trampoline for younger guests. – Janet, Martin & Frankie, Wellington
16/03/07	Lothlorien was recommended to us by the Naturopathic College of New Zealand and I am really glad we decided to stay there!  A magical little bungalow in a beautiful natural setting, lovely and sunny bedrooms and the house has a warm, cosy feeling and a special energy that surrounds it.  We felt sorry to have to leave when our time was up! Thanks so much to Wendy for looking after us and for making us feel really welcome, we will definitely return.   – Tanya & Keira Park, Auckland
09/03/07	We were looking for somewhere we could go for a bit of a break, time-out and relaxation.  We are so pleased to have come across Lothlorien, which offers all that and so much more! We found the beautiful cottage to be a home away from home offering everything we needed to really relax,  Wendy is such a wonderful hostess and fantastic cook we felt really spoilt and were really looked after. I feel  blessed to have meet Wendy and experience Reiki - one of Wendy's many talents.  Our stay at Lothlorien was such an awesome experience, to wake up with the Tui’s singing in the trees, relax in the hot tub, fix those aches with Bowen treatment it was all just awesome.  We only stayed one night but we left feeling like like we had a week long holiday!!! Hey Wendy "WE'RE COMING BACK."  –  Ami & Jai Sao Tui-Huta, New Plymouth

11/01/07	Lothlorien was a fabulous place to stay.  We had a very special family holiday there.  Wendy and Paul are lovely people.  They are warm, friendly, thoughtful, fun and accomodating.  Lothlorien has great energy.  It is a comfortable cottage in a great location.   We had everything we needed to make it an enjoyable and relaxing holiday.  Wendy and Paul went out of their way on numerous details to make our stay special  and easy (especially with a baby and toddler).  We look forward to returning to stay in the future.  We thoroughly recommend Lothlorien. – Karen Bell & Paul Tryon, Wellington
