Eco-Accommodation
Joya is a good place for both the active travellers as well as for those who have been on the road for a long time and want to have some time out. There are plenty of places in the gardens to sit and relax. With its bird life, the ponds and the waterfalls, you’d hardly notice that you are only a short walk from the town centre. At night the gardens are nicely lit and relaxing. You are welcome to invite newly made friends for a drink in the gazebo, take a nap in one of the hammocks, or arrange for a pampering foot-bath or massage.
For those with an appreciation for the regenerating effects of music, ask for a ‘listening session’, our speciality. Joya is the first and still the only NZ residential facility for listening training, a unique method developed by Alfred Tomatis, a pioneer in psycho-acoustics. The method is known for its effect on concentration, memorization and general ‘listening skills’. Doing some listening might work wonders if you are tired or quickly want to overcome jet lag. Whether you come here to just “listen” or to spend a holiday, we aim to provide a welcoming and supportive environment. So, feel free to ask our assistance with travel or bookings for the Abel Tasman or any of the other attractions the region has to offer.
