My stay at Pujjis was a wonderful, peaceful experience
in a very scenic Maitai Valley near Nelson, NZ. It was more than just
a "holiday". It was five days of a truly unique experience that made
me feel like I was home visiting family. I was able to immerse myself
into the restful, relaxing atmosphere where I had time for reflection,
activities, or conversation with Jane, Arvind and the other guests.
I would highly recommend to anyone---young or old, single or a couple---to
experience a few days at the Pujjis retreat. You will have a charming
experience, make new friends, and perhaps take with you a new perspective
on "real" living

USA Thank you for giving us the vacation we had been
looking for. The setting is stunning and you have done such a wonderful
job of creating such a restful and relaxing environment. Good food,
hot tub, sauna and massage - our physical needs where taken care of.
Lots of meaningful conversation, fun and laugher and our need for
good company was also satisfied. We left feeling rested, more connected
and full. We also understood the need to stop and be still and listen.
Thank you again.

San Diego, California, USA As a professional couple in our late 40's we found a sanctuary at Pujjis. Jane and Arvind have a lifetime of experience and overview that they are willing to share in an honest and down to earth way. Don't get me wrong - it is not all serious interaction. They have a way of listening from the mind/heart with a sense of depth that is refreshing. Both Arvind and Jane also have the capacity for belly rocking laughter as well. We stepped into their beautifully appointed retreat with all the comforts we needed. Our response was relief and pleasure.
