Wow, what an absolute gem of a place. I am excited beyond belief to know that Pumula is 8 minutes drive from my home and that it will always be a part of my life. It is a magical space... The bubbling stream, the native plantings, the gorgeous design of the yoga studio and the inviting sauna with it's plunge pool. There are windows everywhere overlooking the stunning grounds and the whole experience felt nourishing and fun. Marilyn was the perfect guide. I can't wait for many adventures, workshops, retreats and hangs here. Yay!

I have been participating in the yoga and sauna opportunities for a few months since Pumula opened. The scenery is so tranquilizer. And what a great place to connect with other people, often people in the Te Mata community. The yoga and sauna are so fun and relaxing. Today, I had a massage by Marilyn. It is the best massage I've ever had in my life. Marilyn has a wonderful touch, and I felt so relaxed. She really has the ability to cater to the mind, body, and spirit. We are truly fortunate to have Pumula - Marilyn in our community. I highly recommend you see for yourself and book a yoga class, a sauna, or a massage. Even better book all 3 you'll be happy you did.

We had the most magical experience with Marilyn - we all left floating!! The yoga session was absolutely beautiful, it was as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. :) The sauna and dip pool were pure bliss too, soaking it all in while watching the birds and listening to the sound of the stream make it a sacred retreat in nature. This is truly a special place. A must-visit. Thank you, Marilyn for your kind heart and giving such a nourishing experience, we’re coming back.

It was raining and cold when we arrived but we were soon welcomed into the woodfire heated, intimate yoga studio. This is a building made of massive macrocarpa beams and huge windows looking across the valley and down to a stream swathed in native bush. Marilyn from Pumula led us through a restorative yoga practice which left us relaxed and serene. By this time it was getting dark and still raining. This somehow enhanced the sauna session as we made our way to the traditional Norwegian style sauna with raindrops falling from the trees. Three 15 minute saunas punctuated with cooldowns in the spring fed plunge pool and we were all very relaxed and feeling renewed. Pumula is in a secluded rural setting with great views, the studio and sauna are beautifully built in timber and tucked sympathetically into the environment. Marilyn and Jemma are warm, welcoming hosts, providing a truly special wellbeing experience.
