Come exactly as you are – no decisions to make, no expectations to meet – just the opportunity to be cared for and recalibrate.

Your Four Day Resilience Retreat

Join us for an inspiring Four Day Resilience Retreat, designed to help you step away from the demands of everyday life, reset your habits and return home feeling refreshed, informed and ready to move forward.

A Three Day Retreat option is also available.

Many of our guests attend Resolution Retreats on their own, and many are joining a retreat for the very first time. We’re also fortunate to welcome many returning guests who choose to make Resolution Retreats part of their wellbeing journey year after year.

Women from all walks of life come to our retreats for their own reasons, and there is never any pressure to share your story or explain why you’re here. Our retreats naturally have a warm, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. You’ll have opportunities to meet and connect with like-minded women, but you can participate as much or as little as feels right for you.

Come on your own, come as you are, and settle in at your own pace.

Your Own Private Sanctuary

Relax in a beautiful 60m² private villa, designed for comfort, privacy and restoration. All villas included across our retreat packages are of the same beautiful standard, so whichever package you choose, you can look forward to the same quality accommodation.

Each villa features:

• • King-sized bed in Single Occupancy Villas
  • 2 x King-Single beds in Twin Share Villas
  • Lounge area
  • Bath
  • Shower
  • Indulgent toiletries
  • Kitchenette
  • Dining area
  • Outdoor patio

It’s your space to retreat, unwind and enjoy some much-needed time for yourself.

Sharing with a friend? You can enjoy a Twin Share Villa together while choosing the retreat package that best suits you. For example, one guest can choose the Twin Share Classic Package while their friend chooses the Twin Share Unwind Package.

Nourishing Cuisine

Enjoy delicious, nutritionist-designed meals and snacks prepared fresh for you throughout your stay.

You’ll enjoy a balance of quality protein, plenty of fibre, colourful vegetables, nourishing carbohydrates and healthy fats, thoughtfully combined to support steady energy and blood sugar levels, healthy digestion, satisfaction and overall wellbeing.

No grocery shopping. No meal planning. No preparation. No dishes.

Just fresh, vibrant, nourishing food that helps you feel lighter, energised and well cared for.

Practical Wellness Workshops

Our workshops are designed to give you more than information. They give you practical tools you can actually use in everyday life.

Explore topics including:

Unlock Your Energy Workshop

Confident Communication and Boundaries Workshop

The Sleep Reset Workshop: Understanding the science of sleep and how to optimise recovery and wellbeing.

Gut Health Workshop: The Foundation of How You Feel, Think & Heal

Mental Balance & Self-Care – Learn strategies to manage stress, prioritise yourself and create healthier boundaries and routines.

Set Yourself Up for Success at Home

The real value of our workshops isn’t just what you learn while you’re here. It’s how they set you up for success when you return home. Our workshops are designed to help you identify the small changes that can make the biggest difference, helping you move closer to calm.

We’ll explore practical ways to manage stress, prevent burnout and prioritise your wellbeing, with a focus on self-care that actually fits into everyday life. The aim is to help you create space for what matters, recognise what you need, and develop simple, sustainable strategies that support your energy, balance and overall wellbeing.

Whether you spend a lot of your energy looking after everyone else and rarely make time for yourself, or you’re feeling stretched, overwhelmed or close to burnout, our workshops will help you refill your cup. You’ll gain practical tools and greater clarity around how to manage stress, prioritise your wellbeing, set healthier boundaries and make space for the things that help you feel your best.

This isn’t about perfection, restriction or a short-term fix. It’s about using what you learn in our workshops to create a realistic plan for success that continues long after you leave us.

Daily Yoga & Meditation

Our optional Yoga and Meditation sessions are designed to help reduce stress, improve flexibility and support your overall wellbeing. Sessions are accessible to all abilities, with modifications and guidance so you can participate at your own pace. Whether you’re an experienced yogi or have never stepped onto a yoga mat, you’re welcome.

Daily Group Fitness

Our optional group fitness sessions are suitable for all levels and designed to help you move with intention, build strength and rediscover the joy of movement. There’s no pressure to do everything. Choose what feels right for you.

Afternoon Bliss Time

Not every moment needs to be productive. Some of the most valuable moments of your retreat are the ones where you have nowhere to be and nothing you need to achieve. This is your opportunity to slow down, switch off and simply enjoy.

Your afternoons are yours to enjoy at your own pace. You might choose to:

• • Float in the indoor heated mineral pool
  • Relax in the jacuzzi
  • Unwind in the sauna
  • Enjoy your pre-booked spa treatment
  • Take in the beautiful views towards Mount Maungatautari
  • Curl up with a good book
  • Retreat to the comfort of your private villa
  • Wander through the peaceful resort grounds

Lakeside Resort Karapiro is a spacious 35-hectare property with 45 villas, creating a peaceful and relaxed setting where you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and resort facilities alongside other guests staying at the resort. And when you’re ready for some quiet time, your private villa is your own peaceful sanctuary to retreat to, unwind and recharge. There is no pressure to be anywhere or do anything. This is your time to slow down, breathe deeply and simply enjoy the moment.

Spa & Wellness Treatments

Massages · Facials · Body Scrubs & Wraps · Nails

Your spa experience is tailored to the package you choose, with options to make your retreat as relaxing and indulgent as you’d like.

Your Treatments, Perfectly Timed

All pre-booked spa treatments are scheduled during Afternoon Bliss Time, so you can enjoy your treatment without missing any of the retreat’s workshops, activities or other experiences. Your personal spa appointment schedule will be waiting for you in your retreat folder when you arrive. We recommend selecting any additional treatments when you book your retreat so we can do our best to secure your preferred treatments with our team of Spa Therapists.

Choose Your Retreat Experience

Classic Package

• • Full Retreat Inclusions
  • Enjoy one complimentary Flowpresso treatment during your retreat.

Flowpresso is a deeply relaxing compression treatment designed to support circulation, lymphatic flow and overall wellbeing.

The Classic Package also gives you the flexibility to add additional spa treatments to your retreat. If you’d prefer to enjoy a couple of treatments during your stay rather than have a treatment every day, this can be the most cost effective package for you.

You can select and book any additional treatments when you book your retreat, allowing us to pre-book your preferred treatments with the Spa team’s availability.

Unwind Package (Most Popular)

• • Full Retreat Inclusions
  • Enjoy a 50-minute spa treatment each day of your retreat.

You can choose from the available treatment options, including Flowpresso if you’d like to make it part of your daily spa experience.

Your included treatments are selected on the registration form sent to you with your booking confirmation.

You can also add extra treatments during the booking process if you’d like to enjoy even more pampering during your stay.

Signature Package

• • Full Retreat Inclusions
  • Enjoy a luxurious 80-minute spa treatment each day
  • Private Resilience Consultation
  • Private Breathwork Session

You can choose from the available treatment options, including Flowpresso if you’d like to include it as part of your daily spa experience.

Your included treatments are selected on the registration form sent to you with your booking confirmation. You can also add extra treatments during the booking process if you’d like to make your retreat even more indulgent.

Your Signature Package also includes two personalised one-on-one sessions:

Resilience Consultation (50 min)
A private opportunity to discuss your individual goals, questions and self care needs with our Wellness Manager. Our Workshops already provide you with a wealth of practical knowledge around resilience, beating burnout, and  creating sustainable habits. The one-on-one consultation simply gives you the opportunity to take that learning further and apply it specifically to you and your goals.

Private Breathwork Session (50 min)
A personalised breathwork session designed around what would be most supportive and useful for you. You’ll be guided through breathing techniques and practices to help calm the nervous system, release tension, manage stress and create a greater sense of balance and wellbeing. Your session can also include simple muscle tension release techniques to help you physically unwind and let go of built-up tension. Tailored to how you’re feeling on the day, it gives you space to slow down, reconnect with yourself and explore practical tools you can continue using in everyday life.

Think of these sessions as personalised extras, not something you need in order to get results from your retreat. You’ll already leave with a wealth of practical knowledge, tools and strategies from our workshops and group sessions. The one-on-one sessions simply allow you to take that next step and personalise what you’ve learned.

Take the Inspiration Home

Your retreat isn’t just about the days you’re here. It’s about what happens when you return home. You’ll receive your Resolution Retreats Recipe Book, filled with favourite recipes and inspiration to make healthy eating easier and more enjoyable.

After your retreat, we invite you to join our Resolution Retreats Squad, our online community where you can access retreat resources, stay connected and continue building on what you’ve learned. And our Wellness Manager is there to support you throughout your experience, helping you get the most from your time with us.

Your Lakeside Sanctuary

Resolution Retreats is hosted at the award-winning Lakeside Resort Karapiro, set across 35 hectares of peaceful countryside just outside Cambridge. It’s close enough to reach easily, yet wonderfully removed from the everyday.

Just 12 minutes from Cambridge and approximately 30 minutes from Hamilton Airport.

Make Your Retreat Your Own

When you select your retreat package, you’ll also have the opportunity to add a few extras to make your stay even easier and more enjoyable. Please note: these add-ons are separate from the spa treatments included in our Unwind and Signature Packages. Your included daily spa treatments are selected on the registration form sent to you with your booking confirmation.

Airport Transfers
Make getting to and from the retreat easy by adding an airport transfer to your booking. You can provide your flight details on your registration form, and we’ll take care of the arrangements.

Arrive the Night Before
Take the pressure out of travel day by arriving the evening before your retreat begins. You can add an extra night when you book your retreat. Check-in is available between 3:00pm and 6:00pm and includes a light dinner, with breakfast served in your villa. Your retreat officially begins at 10:00am on Day 1, giving you plenty of time to settle in, relax and start your retreat feeling refreshed and ready.
