Surrender yourself to the peacefulness and serenity of Ocean View Retreats, hosted by Waoku Lodge, Raglan’s only Qualmark accredited five-star luxury accommodation.

'Waoku' is Te Reo Maori and translates as ‘still (or quiet) forest’ - the name chosen to reflect the peacefulness of the Lodge and its grounds. Nestled under ‘The Sleeping Lady,’ Mt Karioi, at Whale Bay, Raglan, and overlooking the Tasman Sea in 100% Pure New Zealand.

Your intention may be to find peace and relaxation away from the pressures and stresses of professional or family life, or maybe you feel the need to be pampered for a while in the company of like-minded women. All you are looking for can be found at Ocean View Retreats - where your needs are paramount.

Ocean View Retreats offer an unpretentious retreat, providing a few days of whatever you feel you may need. It is a place to rebuild your inner-self, de-stress, explore what’s possible and spend time just for you. There is no spiritual philosophy defining how we plan your stay, and your involvement in the planning is encouraged to help provide what you wish to experience.

Situated at Whale Bay, just a ten-minute drive from Raglan’s town centre, on the beautiful wild and rugged west coast of New Zealand’s north island, Ocean View Retreats is the perfect choice for you to enjoy an indulgent and luxurious break away from the daily stresses of modern life.

Perfect for solo travelers and small groups of friends, Ocean View Retreats provides a delightful location and a discreet environment in which to relax, develop new skills, make new friends and leave feeling revitalised.

At Ocean View Retreats, our luxury spa retreat will adapt to your needs and those of your mind, body & soul. We offer two special retreat packages of seven days/six nights and a series of shorter retreats of two, three or four nights in Whale Bay, Raglan covering yoga, fitness & detox, healthy cuisine, relaxation and pampering.

At Ocean View Retreats we’ve created a health retreat for women that encourages participants to let go of their day to day stresses and focus on yourself, allowing you the time you need to recharge your batteries in 100% pure New Zealand.
