14th – 17th March 2025 | Kiwiesque, Esk Valley
Luxury Weekend Yoga Retreat
Unwind your body and soul in perfect harmony in this most magical of spaces.
Join CJ from Moshka and Justine from Kiwiesque for a luxury weekend Retreat that will be a true escape from everything – you’ll stay for three nights and feel like you’ve been away a week.
There is absolutely nothing for you to worry about or do, the time is all yours to enjoy without thinking about what is coming next – a real treat for the busy woman.
This Retreat is all the best of life brought together into one long weekend. We will move our bodies each morning in a slow sunrise flow class to unravel stress and help your body feel better and then end each afternoon with a restorative class and meditation to unwind you even further. The yoga is suitable for all levels even if you have never done any before.
With bedrooms, spacious living areas and outdoor areas and quiet spaces for all, Kiwiesque, in the heart of the Esk Valley, caters to everyone.
Taking time for yourself is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
It’s time to step away from the chaos and give yourself the opportunity to reset and rejuvinate your mind, body and soul in the great company of other women who also are seeking the same things as you.
What’s included
A stunning space for us to stay
Our home for the weekend, Kiwiesque Luxury Lodge and the vineyard villa is located in a private, vineyard setting in the Esk Valley just 15 minutes from central Napier. With multiple spacious living areas, premium facilities including a lap pool, swim spa and spa both accommodations have expansive vineyard views – this will set the scene for an unforgettable weekend. A designated yoga space will be the perfect setting to practice our morning and afternoon yoga and meditation.
Unwind your body and soul in perfect harmony
Begin each day with a sunrise flow yoga class tailored to welcome both seasoned yogis and absolute beginners. It’s the perfect way to set a positive tone for your day, and you’ll be amazed at how yoga can rejuvenate your spirit and allow you space to find inner quiet and contemplation whilst moving on the mat..
As the day unfolds, our afternoons are dedicated to slowing down with a restorative yoga/meditation class offered on the Friday and Saturday afternoons.
How we roll on retreat
Over the weekend you will be able to partake in Yoga and Meditation classes as well as a Life Affirming Workshop on the Saturday.
The only outing we have planned is a gorgeous cycle tour through the vineyards on the Sunday. The rest of the time is yours to do what you wish, you may choose to go for a walk, sample some delicious local wines, lie by the pool or even indulge yourself with an optional extra to book in for a massage and/or spa treatment to really make the most of the time away from family and work.
“I absolutely loved everything about Kiwiesque from the minute I drove up the drive. I was there for a yoga retreat and the whole weekend was taken care of to the finest detail.
The bed and bedding was divine to sleep in each night, the furniture was so comfortable with many options for both sitting and eating at. I enjoyed using the spa and pool and they were so clean, and the perfect amount of outdoor furniture for everyone to have a spot to relax and enjoy some downtime.
The surroundings in the vineyard setting is so beautiful and quiet with rural views from every window, yet close enough to town and local attractions.”

Food & Catering
What’s a weekend away without some tasty food? We love good food and have you well covered with every meal included in your stay. Get ready for an unforgettable dining experience as Chef Simon Lillico from Oak Estate takes over the kitchen for two nights. Known for his fabulous, creative dishes, Simon brings a taste of local flavors and a passion for his craft to every plate. It’s more than just dinner—it’s a chance to enjoy an evening of great food, stories, and good company.
Massage & Spa Treatments
There’s nothing better than kicking back for a massage or a facial and you will have the opportunity to book a treatment in the Lodge without even needing to go anywhere. You can float from the pool to the massage table without even needing to get changed – the ultimate in relaxation!
Winery tour & lunch
A visit to the Hawkes Bay isn’t complete without the opportunity to enjoy the local winery trails. Explore the gorgeous local wineries on e-bikes from Takaro Trails. Begin with a visit to the renowned Elephant Hill or Te Awanga wineries and continue on to Clearview Winery for a long and leisurely lunch.
Once you’ve savored every moment, return to Kiwiesque to relax in our tranquil and picturesque vineyard setting.
“Justine and Bayden are the best hosts, with nothing being a problem – even transport to the airport and always done with a smile. The food was delicious and I loved not having to make any decisions about what to cook or eat and a weekend off any household duties – pure bliss!
I highly recommend both the lodge and the villa (I have the luxury of staying in both places) to anyone wanting a getaway at the highest standard in every way. I can’t wait to come back.”
