The Big Chill

The Big Chill

Inspired by the 80’s movie of the same name where a group of former college friends gathered for a reunion, where they remember some of their best times but are forced to re-evaluate their lives.

Your Big Chill may consist of family gathering together to re-connect after a long time apart, a school reunion of buddies or just brining your core team together in an informal, relaxed environment away from outside pressures.

Guest feedback

A fabulous four day family break over Christmas!

We stayed in the fabulous villa where Kaye and Scott had organised a real christmas tree and Hollie had stocked the fridge with snacks and groceries. Hollie cooked a fabulous spread for us for Christmas day. We were spoilt with amazing massages from Hollie and fabulous yoga with Kaye.

The views were to die for and we sat outside watching the tuis feed on the flax and listened to the kookaburra and Kiwi.


A wonderful invigorating and relaxing stay.
