Set in the heart of Marie and Duncan’s beautiful 200-acre estate in Mangatarata, Earth Energies Sancturay promises guests seclusion, tranquillity, and the healing energies of nature. Hidden from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, yet only one hour’s drive from Auckland, Hamilton or Tauranga, it’s the perfect place to book some time away to relax and rebalance.
Marie and Duncan’s farm was a 200-acre blank canvas at first. They started with building 2km of roading and power, establishing a dam and troughing system, kilometres of fencing, and planting of thousands of natives. They then built the implement sheds and the chook sheds, followed by the cabin, and then the botanicals product rooms, where they handcraft their range of native Kawakawa products.
“It was incredibly important to us that the environment was harmonious and balanced, enhancing the natural ecosystem working on soil biology, natural fertilisers and introducing bee hives — due to this we have seen the return of native birds, frogs and wildlife,” Marie says.
Six years later they were able to realise their dream of building the main residence and the therapy rooms. They have since completed the main residence and purpose-built therapy rooms.
Stay
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin gives guests 360-degree views of nature and wildlife. Step out onto the cabin’s deck and breathe in the invigoratingly fresh air and watch the tui, kereru, and more native birdlife flutter past.
You can choose the option of a self-catered kitchen, or you can choose to have chef-prepared meals delivered to the cabin for the duration of your stay. You’ll want for nothing and you can simply indulge in time for yourself. Settle in and read that book you’ve been meaning to get to or unwind in the egg-shaped bath.
Only one set of guests is hosted at Earth Energies Sanctuary at a time.
