EXCLUSIVE TIME TOGETHER

Raetihi Lodge offers an All-inclusive private boutique lodge on the waterfront in the Marlborough Sounds, South Island, New Zealand.

Here is your chance to book the entire lodge for your Private Exclusive Use group, for a minimum of 3-nights, and then you can stay as long as you like.

Exclusive Use bookings are available between mid-November through to end of March each year. If you're interested in dates outside this period, we'll do our best to make them available.

Now is a good time to surround yourself with family and friends to create moments that should be cherished, and those milestones that should be celebrated.

Exclusive Use on the 50-acre estate includes: Accommodation, all Meals, your own Private Chef, Front-of-House staff and Housekeepers, and we accommodate between 10 – 25 guests.

Human connections are the foundation of what we offer at Raetihi Lodge. Our soul craves connection, family and friends. Nature in the Marlborough Sounds is inviting us to explore her beauty and therapeutic qualities that nurture our souls.

One of Marlborough Sounds best kept secrets. A truly luxurious home away from home, where you’ll want for nothing and make wonderful new friends. Thank you wonderful team.

So many reasons why

Family get-togethers and reunions - because its the power of the extended family unit and family time that can heal, make us stronger and feel a sense of belonging, love & support

Significant birthdays & celebrations (40th/50th/60th/70th) - surround yourself with your closest friends & family from all over the world to celebrate your milestone. You could share it with just 10 friends or maybe 20 or more!

Corporate brainstorms & retreats - remove all other distractions and embed yourself in nature to clarify your thoughts and build team synergy & strength

Small intimate weddings, renewal of vows or special occasions - by the water or surrounded by natural bush, keep things personal and intimate with the very special people in your lives.

Host your own luxury, fully-catered 'Bach' - spend for a few days each with different family/friend groups rotating through for a week over summer

Film or Photoshoot location - daily rate is available

I will daydream about Raetihi Lodge for years to come! We met wonderful people, enjoyed beautiful weather, food and views. We will return one day. Thank you.

Sense of reconnection is a real need for people… almost something you don’t realise you are missing until you experience it.

Connect
Mindful & Reflect.

Be present. Immersed in another way of being. Reflect on the past, present & future. Be grateful for what you have.
