✨ A very special result for Lawn Road Retreat ✨

We've just received the result of our latest Qualmark evaluation and we're thrilled to share that Lawn Road Retreat has now achieved a 5 Star Qualmark rating, while retaining our Gold Sustainable Tourism Business Award! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When we first received our Qualmark accreditation in March 2022, we were awarded a 4 Plus Star rating and a Silver Sustainable Tourism Business Award. In 2024, we lifted our sustainability rating to Gold while holding steady at 4 Plus Star. Now, following our latest review, we've moved up to a full 5 Star rating while keeping our Gold status. It feels like a genuinely special milestone.

It's a lovely acknowledgement of how Lawn Road Retreat has continued to evolve since we welcomed our first guests in 2017 - not just the property itself, but the experience we want to create for every group who stays here.

A lot has changed over the years. We've continued to invest in the property, add new experiences and amenities, improve what we offer and, most importantly, listen to our guests and learn from every stay.

But one thing hasn't changed: our goal is still to create a place where people can slow down, spend time together and make wonderful memories.

I'm really proud of this result - and especially proud that our small family-owned business, which started by opening our home to guests, has grown into what Lawn Road Retreat is today. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, recommended us, returned to stay again and taken the time to share a review. You've been a huge part of our journey.

Here's to the next chapter. 🥂

Qualmark Gold 5 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Meeting room set up and ready ✅ - we're welcoming a corporate group today, giving them space to step away from the office and focus on the conversations that move their business forward.

One of the things we love most about hosting corporate groups is that work doesn't have to end when the meeting does. After a productive day there's the hot tub 🛁, a game of pickleball or tennis 🎾, a shared meal 🍽️, and time to simply connect 🤝

Because the best conversations often happen after the meeting ends💬

✨ A fresh look with a clearer message.

Our new sign has officially arrived, along with a refreshed logo that better reflects who we are today. 🪧

The inspiration came from a conversation with someone who told us they'd driven past Lawn Road Retreat many times but had always assumed we were a yoga retreat! 😄 It made us realise that our sign wasn't making it immediately clear what Lawn Road Retreat is.

So we've made it clearer. ✅

Lawn Road Retreat is luxury accommodation designed exclusively for large groups – whether you're bringing the family together, celebrating a milestone, getting away with friends or connecting with your team. 🏡

Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference, and we're really excited that our new sign and logo now tell our story at first glance. 🎉

What do you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts. 💬

A little behind the scenes from last week's filming with Isaac's. They were creating a video showcasing the wide range of services they offer, featuring Brodie Retallick 🏉

This was just one of the many takes they filmed at Lawn Road Retreat, so it's definitely not the finished version, but it's given me the perfect excuse to share a glimpse of our new solar panels ☀️

Installing solar has been a significant step in our sustainability journey. It's one of the many ways we're working to reduce our environmental impact while continuing to create a beautiful place where guests can relax, reconnect and make lasting memories 🌿

I'll be sure to share the finished video when it's released 🎬

No guests over the weekend , just us and our list of jobs 🛠️

Edging, plants and a plum tree that's had its day.

Getting everything ready for our guess arriving this weekend 🏡✨

What a difference a week makes. ✨

Last week we shared that the digger was back for a new project, and here we are seven days later with the finished result.

The pool area has been a labour of love. 💙

Salt water and lush greenery don't always get along — especially when guests are having the best kind of pool day. We tried star jasmine. Beautiful, but it kept dying where the splashes hit. We tried lomandra — same story in the splash zone. So we went back to the drawing board and designed something that would actually work and look the part.

Big concrete steppers. Corten steel garden beds. White pebble surrounds. 🌿 And the lomandra we love, now thriving safely beyond the splash zone where it belongs.

The result? A pool area that works with the way we want our guests to enjoy it - fully, enthusiastically, and without holding back.

Because that's what Lawn Road is for. 🤍

We'd love you to come and see it in person. www.lawnroadretreat.co.nz

The digger is back...🚜

Just when we thought our landscaping was done, we've come up with an idea of how to make this part of the property more inviting, more practical, and more connected to the grounds beyond.

It's only just getting underway, so for now all you'll see is a digger and a bit of dirt but we can already picture the finished result.

Stay tuned for the transformation 🍀

A little behind-the-scenes moment from Lawn Road today 🛠️

Our engineers came by to service the custom-built cover lifter on our hot tub — and it got us thinking about why we had it made in the first place.

A 14–16 person hot tub is a big thing. Literally. So rather than guests having to wrestle a heavy cover off before every soak, we had a lifter custom built for it — because a spa this size simply doesn't come with an off-the-shelf solution. One easy motion and the cover is off and our hot tub is ready to enjoy. ♨️

The small details matter to us.

Because when you're here to relax and celebrate, the last thing we want you doing is any heavy lifting. 😌
