About this trip

Begin your journey with one night in Auckland, where you’ll have time to explore this vibrant waterfront city and settle into the rhythm of your retreat. The following morning, we’ll travel to the secluded beauty of Kawau Island, where you’ll fall asleep beneath a blanket of stars and wake to the songs of native birds.

Nestled within 22 hectares of native bush, Parohe is the epitome of barefoot luxury. Whether you’re wandering through the organic gardens, strolling to the water’s edge, unwinding in the sauna, or gathering around the firepit under the stars, every moment is designed to help you disconnect from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with yourself.


The eco-chic accommodations offer everything you need for a comfortable and restorative stay. Each private room features an ensuite bathroom and thoughtfully curated, locally crafted amenities. The Harbor Cabins are tucked into a fragrant citrus grove with views over Bon Accord Harbour, while the Enchantment Cabins are nestled among majestic fig trees, surrounded by lush ginger and rosemary, creating a peaceful sanctuary immersed in nature.

Deposit + Cancellation Policy

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING!!

A non-refundable deposit of $1,000 USD is required to reserve your spot.


To provide an intimate and personalized retreat experience, space is limited. Because of the advance planning and commitments required for international retreats, all retreat payments are non-refundable.


If you are unable to attend, your deposit and any payments made may be transferred to another Soulful Yoga Retreat taking place within the same calendar year, subject to availability. Transfer requests must be made in writing and approved by Soulful Yoga Retreats.


We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance to protect your investment in the event you need to cancel or interrupt your trip due to unforeseen circumstances. For the best coverage, purchase travel insurance immediately after booking, or no later than 14 days after making your initial retreat payment.


No refunds, credits, or adjustments will be issued for late arrivals, early departures, missed activities, or unused portions of the retreat for any reason.


In the unlikely event that Soulful Yoga Retreats cancels the retreat due to insufficient enrollment, all payments made directly to Soulful Yoga Retreats will be refunded in full. Soulful Yoga Retreats is not responsible for any additional expenses incurred, including but not limited to airfare, travel insurance, accommodations, or other travel-related costs.
