Questions?
Can I pay over time?
Yes, absolutely. Nobody has 500 bucks just lying around, right? A deposit will secure your booking. Then I'll work out a weekly payment according to how many weeks are left before the retreat. The full payment will be due 10 days before the retreat starts.
Do these prices include GST?
Yes, they do.
Can I bring my dog?
Sorry, only if they're a service dog.
Can you cater for my allergies?
Our kitchen facilities are fairly basic and used by many other people, and we might use outside catering, so we can't guarantee allergy-free surroundings, but let's discuss it and see how we might make it work. Email me on anna@warmblanket.co.nz to start a conversation.
Can you collect me from the airport?
This isn't something we offer at the moment, but it's entirely possible that one of us might be passing through or know of another participant willing to rideshare, so do check with us.
What do I need to bring?
Please bring your favourite breakfast food so you have something delicious to look forward to.
Easy shoes to slip on if you need to head out to the loo at 3am.
Treats if you have favourites. You're welcome to bring a bottle of wine if you'd like some.
A towel if you prefer a bigger one.
What's provided?
Dinner on Friday and Saturday; lunch on Saturday and Sunday; morning and afternoon teas; fruit bowl; all bedding; a small towel.
Do I have to share a bathroom?
Yep ... kind of. You don't have to shower or go to the loo while other people are in the same room. There are two bathrooms, each with a lovely clean shower and loo; the rooms are private to you when you're in them.
Can I bring my partner?
If you are both women or identify as women, yes, of course. See the cost to bring a friend on the accommodation page.
Will I be expected to help with chores?
In a small team, you'll help prepare one meal (pretty much just setting ingredients out or making a salad - nothing tricky) and do one set of dishes. The rest of the time, you relax while another team creates the food and does the dishes.
At the end of the retreat, we ask that the bedding is stripped. That's it.
Is off-street parking available?
Yes, you can park your car around the back of the buildings behind a gate.
Will there be a programme?
Only in as much as we'll offer one or two activities that will be entirely optional. If you want to lounge in your bed all day, that's your choice. We provide the time and the space you crave - you choose what to do with it.
