Our Wooden Cabins have been lovingly crafted over three years to perfectly blend eco-conscious design with luxurious comfort. Here, nature meets relaxation, and serenity intertwines with moments of joy and connection. At Hewitts Homestead’s Wellbeing Area, we’ve created a sanctuary for couples to unwind, recharge, and reconnect. Inspired by our own search for an experience that nourishes the soul and uplifts the spirit, this space is designed to offer exactly that—a retreat where love and relaxation take centre stage. Available exclusively on weekends, this is your chance to escape the everyday and focus on what truly matters: time for yourselves, your relationship, and each other. It’s that simple—and that special.
Your stay in our Wooden Cabins comes with thoughtful touches that bring you closer to nature without sacrificing comfort. Imagine starting your morning with a luxurious hot outdoor shower, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, while taking in the breathtaking views of the Tararua Ranges. It’s an experience that’s both grounding and invigorating.

Our eco-friendly composting toilet reflects our commitment to sustainability while ensuring your stay remains comfortable and seamless. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a space where you can truly unwind, reconnect, and feel good about your impact on the environment. Whether it’s sipping coffee in your private space, soaking up the scenery, or simply enjoying each other’s company, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
So why wait? Book your weekend getaway now and experience the magic of Hewitts Homestead’s Wellbeing Area for yourselves. Spaces are limited, and your perfect retreat is just a click away.
