The concept: One of a kind

What happens when you challenge the conventional, four-walls of a boardroom or office and gather your team in nature? Well, it's a kind of magic.

More than a venue, our outdoor Bush Boardroom experiences offer unique and immersive programmes and a chance for your team to unplug and get away from digital distractions. To allow the space and place for connection, true creativity and innovation.

Make your next leadership, strategy and planning day, team or community day out, professional development day, workshop or creative session with us in nature.

Mindful hiking

There's bodies of research to support that time spent in nature reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, elevates mood and can even boost your body’s immune response.

Walking in nature can also boost creative output (divergent thinking) by 60% on average! So it's far more powerful than sitting around trying to solve a problem or come up with new ideas. In fact, Steve Jobs was known for his walking meetings. Come on a mindful hike with us - we can prime your team's creativity for an planning session by taking a short walk, letting their unconscious minds roam.

Discover our Bush Boardrooms

Imagine sitting around a beautiful boardroom table, underneath an lush green canopy with birdsong echoing around you.

Our Bush Boardrooms offer the unique opportunity for small groups to have their next strategy and planning day, board meeting, special workshop or team building day immersed in nature. Our packages can be tailored to your team for an unforgettable day.

Wild Food Foraging

Did you know our native bush offers a smorgasbord of edible delights that were used in traditional Māori cooking and medicine?

Join our experts for a foraging experience and learn about the abundance the forest has to offer. Search for native plants and herbs, learn about their medicinal properties, and how Māori use them for healing and wellbeing. Try a wild food foraged spread and learn about the surprising nutritional benefits hidden in nature's bounty.

Meaningful conservation

By bringing your team out to one of our Bush Boardrooms, your company is tangibly helping the conservation and biodiversity efforts at our three locations.

Why is that important? New Zealand is rich in biodiversity with a large proportion of our species only found here. That's truly special and worth protecting. Plus we know that nature significantly increases our overall wellbeing and happiness - we all have our part to play in making sure we have abundant nature spaces for generations to come.

Forest exploration programmes

Nature can teach us a lot about ourselves.

As well as a leveller, it offers a sense of perspective that’s hard to achieve in the office and from our day-to-day routines. Great for leaders and teams who are looking for fun but meaningful immersion learning and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. Channel your natural curiosity and foster more open communication through forest activities enhanced by neuroscience and psychology.
