Pujjis : Welcome to Pujjis

Having both Arvind and Jane with us as we explored the problems in our marriage was so important. They are real people dealing with similar issues and it made it so much easier to trust and be honest. What a relief to know that we weren't the only ones who get stuck. The shame we were feeling disappeared and we were able to be honest with each other for the first time. Arvind and Jane held us with love and compassion, not only in the session times but throughout our whole stay. The atmosphere is one of understanding and acceptance and it was a relief to let go. And it wasn't all hard work, we had fun, we relaxed, we ate good food and meet great people.

We came for rest and relaxation but after a few evening conversations, we became interested in what Arvind had to stay about relationships so decided to have a few sessions with him. We had always had a reasonably good marriage, some distance between us over time had happend. We couldn't believe how quickly, with Arvinds guidance we were able to feel a depth of each other we hadn't experienced for years. As we heard each other and talked a few of the issues we had been avoided, the romance started to seep back in. Feels good.

I have been to Pujjis Wellness Centre four times - so far. I will continue to come here because I have found my perfect haven. Immediately I walk through the door I relax, the atmosphere is so welcoming and warm. My first few days are always spent just relaxing, eating and sleeping and soon I feel my whole body relaxing and my head letting to of its usual stress. At the end of each visit after daily bodywork, great food and such a caring and skilled team as Arvind and Jane, I go home feeling rejuvenated in both body and spirit. I can take on the world again!!

Accommodation
& Meals

<To Pujjis Website

Pujjis is a large wooden villa whose back veranda nudges the beautiful waters of the Maitai River. From the extensive veranda you can sit and watch the river go by, lie in the hammock, read a favourite book or simply snooze. The spa and the sauna overlook the river and you can lie in the spa at night watching the stars to the sound of the river. Wide wooden steps take you down to the river where in summer you can swim. We are only 8 minutes' drive from Nelson. It takes about 25 minutes by bike and 1.5 hours walking.

There is a large guest lounge and dining area, with plenty of room to stretch out as well as interacting with us and the other guests. There are many places for solitude within and around the property.

Accommodation

Each of the four cosy double bedrooms is tastefully furnished to enhance the enjoyment of your stay with us. There are two room types, two with attached bathroom and two that share a bathroom. Because sometimes things can be tense, separate rooms are available.The rooms at Pujjis are named after our favourite mystic poets:

Rumi Room A room with a private bathroom, afternoon sun and a glorious view of the river. Stay together, friends. Don’t scatter and sleep. Our friendship is made of being awake. The waterwheel accepts water and turns and give it away, weeping. That way it stays in the garden. - Rumi	CLICK TO ENLARGE
Hafiz Room Complete with private bathroom and the morning sun. Upon waking each day my first words to my heart are always “Tell me all your news of love” - Hafiz	CLICK TO ENLARGE
Gibran Room The sound of the river and the morning sun. Bathroom shared with one other room. When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him. - Gibran	CLICK TO ENLARGE
Kabir Room The sound of the river and the afternoon sun. Bathroom shared with one other room. Do you believe there is some place that will make the soul less thirsty? In that great absence you will find nothing. Be strong then, and enter into your own body, there you have a solid place for your feet. Think carefully! Don’t go off somewhere else! - Kabir	CLICK TO ENLARGE
