Women’s Wellness, Gardens, Hiking & Self Care in New Zealand
A Retreat With Farmluxe
Queenstown, New Zealand
December 7 – 12, 2025 (6 Days, 5 Nights)
This December, trade winter’s chill for New Zealand’s radiant summer on the breathtaking South Island. We’ll be based at the luxurious Stoneridge Estate—surrounded by mountains, lakes, gardens, and vineyards. The property is exclusively reserved for our group. Each day will be a nourishing blend of immersive excursions and restorative wellness practices: hiking scenic trails, visiting vibrant wildflower farms and lush gardens, and gathering for movement, meditation, journaling, and sound baths. December marks wildflower season here, and the landscape will be bursting with color and inspiration. Between adventures, you’ll unwind with gourmet meals, daily housekeeping, and plush comforts that make you feel truly cared for. Reserve your spot before it fills—this experience is too special to miss.

After settling into our comfortable rooms at the Stoneridge Estate (check-in begins at 4 PM), we’ll gather for a warm welcome—complete with seasonal appetizers and refreshing beverages. As the sun dips behind the mountains, we’ll enjoy a beautifully prepared farm-to-table dinner by the Stoneridge Estate’s Executive Chef, highlighting the flavors of the region. To gently unwind after a day of travel, we’ll close the evening with a restorative session of sound healing, gentle stretching, and reflective journaling—easing into the peaceful rhythm of our time together.
We’ll begin the day with a morning wellness workshop, followed by a nourishing breakfast at the estate. Then we’ll journey to an exquisite garden – straight out of your wildest dreams! After enjoying a sumptuous lunch together, we’ll head out for an afternoon hike filled with wildflowers. On our way back, we’ll explore Queenstown and have a fabulous dinner overlooking the lake.
After an early breakfast, we’ll embark on a full day immersed in nature—hiking through wildflower-strewn valleys, tracing riverbanks, and exploring the breathtaking alpine landscapes of Mt. Cook. We’ll wander beside the luminous turquoise waters of Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki, soaking in fields of lupins and sweeping views. As the day draws to a close, we’ll make our way back to the estate, pausing for a memorable gourmet dinner in a truly spectacular setting.
After a nourishing breakfast, we’ll begin the day at a local flower farm, where you’ll gather armfuls of seasonal blooms for our hands-on floral workshop. While the flowers condition, we’ll head out on a breathtaking hike through the surrounding landscape, followed by a farm-to-table lunch and a guided tour of another nearby garden. In the afternoon, we’ll return for our floral arranging session, bringing beauty to life with the flowers you harvested. We’ll close the day with a restorative waterfall wellness experience, then return to our estate for a gourmet dinner and a peaceful evening of relaxation.
After breakfast and a calming morning wellness workshop, we’ll set out to explore a stunning garden and a peony farm. Then we’ll wander through the charming, historic streets of Arrowtown, where we’ll pause for a special lunch in a picturesque setting. In the evening, we’ll gather for one final, memorable dinner together to toast the beauty and connection of our time shared.
On our final morning, we’ll begin early with an uplifting meditation & sound bath. Following this, we’ll gather one last time to enjoy a heartfelt farewell breakfast together. (Check out time is strictly at 10am)
