Deep Focus Retreat
Two full working days. Two nights. Uninterrupted progress.
When meaningful work requires more than a single overnight offsite, time becomes the advantage.
The Cliffside Deep Focus Retreat is designed for organisations that want extended space to workshop ideas, navigate complex decisions, or move substantial projects forward — without compressed agendas or rushed departures.
Cliffside is New Zealand’s only purpose-built glamping-style corporate retreat venue — combining professional conference facilities with a distinctive outdoor setting.
From $900 + GST per person
(Two full all-inclusive conference days and two nights’ accommodation. Tailored based on group size and configuration.)
Who This Retreat Is Designed For
• Annual or mid-year planning during quieter periods
• Budget and operational resets
• Cross-functional working sessions
• Project intensives and milestone workshops
• Teams working through complex change
We specialise in corporate groups of 20–80 guests, with flexible options available for both smaller teams and larger gatherings.
What Makes This Retreat Different
This format is intentionally immersive.
• Two full working days on-site
• Two overnight stays removing time pressure
• Extended session blocks without early departures
• Evenings that allow discussion to continue organically
The additional night creates space for ideas to develop, be tested, and refined before final decisions are made.
This is not a compressed offsite.
It is structured for depth.
The Cliffside Advantage
Deep work benefits from a shift in environment.
• Integrated accommodation, conference, and dining facilities
• Outdoor spaces supporting natural reset between sessions
• Just 50 minutes from Auckland
• Experienced coordination of multi-day corporate retreats
The setting supports sustained focus while remaining considered and cohesive.

How the Retreat Flows
Throughout the retreat, our team manages timing, room configuration, catering transitions, and accommodation logistics to ensure the experience remains cohesive and uninterrupted.
Day One begins with extended working sessions led by your team, supported by flexible breakout spaces and coordinated catering throughout the day.
The evening transitions into private dining and relaxed continuation of conversation — allowing ideas to develop naturally without the pressure of wrapping up early.
Day Two provides a full additional working day on-site, creating space for themes to evolve, discussions to deepen, and decisions to be tested and refined properly.
Rather than concluding late and driving back to the city, your team stays a second night. This removes the fatigue and time pressure that often shortens offsites — allowing participants to step away, reset, and return the following morning for breakfast before departure.
Make the Time Count
When your team needs more than surface-level discussion, the format should reflect the importance of the work.
The Deep Focus Retreat provides the time, structure, and environment required for serious progress.
Cliffside was exactly what our team needed! A very special place away from our day-to-day business to unwind, celebrate and spend time as a team. The food was delicious; the staff were super friendly and accommodating and you never have to ask for anything as they have already thought of it. Such an amazing venue which I will be recommending to everyone. We will definitely be back! 30.4.25
