Where ‘corporate’ becomes ‘collaborate’.

One-Day Strategy or Planning Retreats

Designed and purpose-built as a destination that fosters deep thinking, reflection and connection, Arete is a place where ‘corporate’ becomes ‘collaborate’.

  • Arete was designed specifically for residential retreats and one-day off-sites (up to 25 persons for one-day)

  • Facilitation and dining wharekai, warmed by two log fires; with beautiful teak tables and chairs that can be used for both facilitation and social moments

  • Multiple outside ‘breakout’ nooks for your team to spend time in smaller pods, exploring, innovating and planning

  • Work with our team to design a bespoke programme, or bring your own clients and facilitator, and allow us to welcome your team into the arms of Arete.

Our gorgeous wharekura is a stand-alone space for larger group (20-25) facilitation and yoga and pilates delivery. This gorgeous wharekura allows groups to work separately from our social and dining space. At the days end, guests will stroll along the meandering pathways to the main wharekai, gathering for pre-dinner drinks and nibbles, prior to experiencing the delight of their elegant and delicious evening meal.
