Shared spaces
Shared spaces, shared memories...
The Monastery offers new discoveries at every turn. Its shared spaces speak of conversation, past journeys and journeys yet to come.
The Monastery kitchen
The hub of any home, The Monastery's dining room and kitchen centre the house and its guests. Warmth and delicious aromas radiate from the native rimu kitchen, where The Monastery's chef will create culinary delights for your health and wellbeing.

The dining room
The stunning dining room features a gorgeous wooden 16-seat antique table and an antique side board. It is here where The Monastery guests share meals and conversation in our formal, yet friendly dining environment.
Lounges
The Monastery's lounges are full of character. The formal lounge, known as the Ballroom, is enchanting with its sumptuous black and gold theme, views of the garden and two dazzling chandeliers - a great place for relaxing with a good book. The smaller lounge, previously the monastery's chapel, retains its peaceful, relaxing and homely character.
