Our Nelson Wellness Centre and Retreat

Pujjis is a large wooden villa whose back veranda nudges the beautiful waters of the Maitai River. From the extensive veranda you can sit and watch the river go by, lay in the hammock, read a favourite book or simply snooze. The spa overlooks the river and you can lie in the spa at night watching the stars to the sound of the river. Wide wooden steps take you down to the river where in summer you can swim.

There is plenty of room to stretch out on your own as well as interacting with us and the other guests. There are many places for solitude within and around the property. The Sanctuary Room provides the perfect setting for Yoga Therapy, Movement and Bodywork sessions.

Each of the four cosy double bedrooms is tastefully furnished to enhance the enjoyment of your stay with us.

At Pujjis, we enjoy healthy food. We offer a range of delicious meals catered to your needs. Fresh fruit and/or salads are served with breakfast, lunch and dinner. We welcome vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters and are happy to accommodate your dietary requirements. Meals are offered in the dining area, out on the deck or down by the river.

Activities, Packages and Experiences

Our aim is to meet the needs of each individual guest. You are welcome to choose one of the packages offered or to design your stay to meet you individual requirements. Packages are offered in two, four and seven-day experiences and these too, we can change to suit your needs.

Unplugged – When you want to turn everything off, your computer, your phone, your mobile, those never ending lists inside your head. When you want some breathing space, some rest, and some nurturing. Enjoy beautiful natural surroundings, healthy delicious meals, receive a massage, soak in the hot tub, snooze in the hammock, learn meditation and relaxing yoga. Experience inner quite and stillness. Unplugged will return you to your own easy and natural state.

Bodyworks – When your body hurts. When the pain or tension is letting you know it's time to do something and you can't put it off any longer, when it's time to attend to yourself.

'Bodyworks' restores flexibility and movement, balance and postural alignment to your body. Using massage, structural bodywork, postural awareness and yoga therapy, 'Bodyworks' addresses the causes of pain and tension while also attending to the symptoms. Bodywork leaves your body smiling.

Cocoon – When you are world weary. When you are at a crossroads, in the middle of change. When you are tired to your bones and have little left to give out. When you yourself are in need of care and attention.

Nowhere to go, nothing to do, nobody to please, you can simply let go. And just be. Take the time to relax and unwind, soak in the hot tub, walk along the river, have a massage, enjoy the art of napping. Cocoon offers an experience of simply being.

Revive – When you feel you need a spring clean. When you know you have been overindulging, letting things slip, not eating well, not exercising enough, eating late, too much alcohol and caffeine, things that lead to a deterioration of your digestion and elimination systems and your health.

'Revive' cleanses, detoxifies and rejuvenates your whole digestive tract to restore you body to optimum heath. Organic fruit and vegetable juices, supplemented by a variety of cleansing herbs and a range of Yogic practices and modern techniques, are used to support your natural cleansing and detoxifying process. 'Revive' leaves you feeling fresh on the inside, unclogged, well and ready to go.

Heart Matters – When it's time to have some time away together. When you know you can have more intimacy but keep tripping over each other. When you have reached an impasse. When it is time to open your hearts again and reconnect with each other.

In a safe and nurturing environment, explore your intimate relationship, to improve your understanding of yourself and each other. Using conscious communication and couples therapy, Heart Matters will support you to find your way through your relationship maze. Heart Matters leaves you feeling more open, vibrant and connected.
