Need a little Coromandel Cure? We think a girls' weekend at Orokawa Bay Retreat is just what the doctor ordered. 🌊

A couple of days away with your favourite people, exploring local shops and cafés, stretching your legs on beautiful coastal walks, soaking in the hot tub, grazing on platters, and settling in by the fire with a glass of something nice.

Nothing complicated. Just time to slow down, catch up, laugh until your cheeks hurt and enjoy being together. The Coromandel Cure is scientifically proven to be good for the soul, after all.

✨Possible side effects include: non-stop laughter, excessive grazing, spontaneous dance sessions, and already planning your next girls' trip before this one is over. Check out the special Girls Weekend Escape package here > https://thecoromandel.nz/deal/4573-ladies-weekend-getaway

We are loving these golden Autumn mornings, taking in the slow sunrise with tea and brekkie ☀️🍂

At Orokawa Bay Retreat, we love helping create unforgettable experiences for our guests — especially when it comes to those extra special touches that make a stay truly memorable.✨

One of the things we value most is being able to collaborate with incredibly talented locals in our community, like Gerrard from . Many of you may know him for his legendary cheesecakes and baked treats at the Saturday markets, but he also creates the most incredible spreads and catering for special occasions. From intimate dinners to unique celebrations, Gerrard always delivers something memorable.

We’re so grateful to work alongside him for private events — and hearing feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do 🤍

"We held our wedding at Orokawa Bay Retreat in early April 2026. The venue owners recommended G's Cuisine for our catering needs, and we're incredibly glad that we hired him. We designed a three-course, Mediterranean-style dinner with G, and he exceeded our expectations in every way.

On the big day, he arrived well prepared and then worked quietly and diligently to ensure everything was served on time. Every single guest raved about his food and, by the end of the night, we were convinced it was one of the best meals we'd ever had in our lives. We highly recommend that others hire G's Cuisine for special events, too"
