Once you want or need to take a break from the stresses and strains of regular every day life, it would seem reasonable and prudent to do something or stay someplace a bit different. A ‘break’ really means breaking the traditional pattern of behaviour and rewarding yourself with a variation that is going to profit both your body and mind. The doing something unusual could mean going on a yacht for a few days cruise to novel, exciting, remote places or perhaps putting on the tramping boots, hefting a pack onto your back and answering the ‘call of the wild’ for a few days. The further out of routine the experience, the bigger the ‘benefit’ to the mind and body. One always remembers abnormal experiences whether they be good or bad. Excellent experiences always bring about a warm glow to the mind and a grin to face. The same holds true for staying in extraordinary or distinctive places. Such places become a ‘benchmark’ in your remembrance bank especially if you have shared the experience with an added someone who is precious to you.
The subject of this article is to draw attention to the uniqueness of a tiny rural retreat in New Zealand that will cause a smile and a warm glow each time you think of the stay you had there. This small business consists of just two small boutique cottages which were purpose built for couples wanting a distinctive and memorable break. They are situated near the small spa town of Te Aroha, famous for the natural soda water spas located in the only Edwardian Domain in New Zealand. The town of Te Aroha itself is very memorable as it is situated at the base of a mountain called Mt Te Aroha which is the tallest peak on the Kaimai-Coromandel Range. A mere 12 kms south of Te Aroha are found Shaftesbury Glade Cottages. A tree lined curving driveway takes you to a small carpark surrounded with trees. A matter of a few steps takes you to the cottages, each of which are lined with timber which confer each a special feel and atmosphere. The interior while not spacious is perfect for the couple wanting that unique break, whether it be to commemorate a special occasion or just to wind down away from the rigors of the daily stresses and strains. A large queen sized bed with quality cotton linen and a large two person spa bath; what more is required other than a couple to take advantage of the amenities.
Besides cottages, the location also has existing three other unquestionably unique attractions that put it in a group on its own. Firstly, each cottage is in its own tree enclosed area giving it the feeling of space as well as seclusion. Each season of the year gives the area a new stimulating feel and look. Secondly, a Sweddish/Finnish styled stream sauna is available to aid in the relaxation of the body. After a half hour sauna and losing a good deal of sweat, the end result is a body with fewer toxins and a clearer mind. Finally, the most unique feature has to be an outside bath which has its water source coupled to a wood fired water heater. There is nothing akin to soaking in a hot bath, beneath the stars, surrounded by trees with a glass of wine in your hand. To have a hot bath, you have got to light the water heater and allocate just in excess of an hour for the water to be hot enough to run a large hot bath. The single word that fits the bill here is ‘magic’.
So if you are looking to have a remarkable stay and take advantage of the regions attractions, you need glance no further than Shaftesbury Glade Cottages. The stopover will be quiet, relaxing, restful and will bring a grin to your face and a warm glow each time you think back on your visit there. The one piece of advice that I can leave you with is a ‘break’ must be poles apart from what you do every day because if it is not, then your body and mind will not record it as a memorable event.
