- LOVE

- We are always looking after others and need a chance to relax and recharge. Vibrant Living is the perfect place for this.
- Husband and wife who love to pursue never ending health and happiness
- To continue the commitment to self care and sharing the knowledge.
- Because he has been working so hard and always goes out of his way to care for me and he needs a chance to stop and rejuvenate himself.
- I have been to vibrant living twice before and have found it very welcoming and transformative both times. 2020 will be a year of change as I start my new job in a new city. Winning this escape would allow me to take time out and reflect/recenter amongst all of the change.
- I’ve had a bit of a tough year, breast cancer diagnosis, 2 surgeries later and I’m pretty well. But it’s been hard at times as we own our own business and I couldn’t always get the the time off I wanted. So a couple of nights of pampering and relaxing in your beautiful setting would be just the ticket
- My wife and I haven't had any time ways since we spent spent a night with you over 2 years ago. My wife really enjoyed her massage and the hot pools it was a relaxing time away from our busy lives.
- 2020 is a special year for us as my husband will be having his 70th birthday, we had the best experience when last stayed with you at Queens Birthday weekend a few years ago. we both loved the massage and enjoyed chilling out in the hots pool. I loved have breakfast made for me and enjoyed your lovely fresh food.
- My Partner works full time and has been at Uni part time for the last
- two and a half years.
- He deserves to find himself again, he takes way too much on and doesn't the time to unwind and relax.
- Been a follower since way b4 this started up at 2 previous addresses and love mjs massages and being a solo mumma this would be a well deserve break for me
- 2019 was a very sad and stressful one for myself and partner Kevin. Would be fantastic to set it up in a good direction heading into 2020
- My friend and I normally come up once a year for a girls weekend but in the last 2 years kids have taken over and matching free weekends haven't happened, so we need to make time for ourselves and have kid free time. If we won we would have to make it happen and I think we would both love it!!
- because It is one of my favourite places to enjoy beautiful part of NZ
- it has been a hard couple of years and time to put some time into myself
- My partner Chris has had a stressful year and had a mild heart attack and he deserves a pampering.
- We have three darling kiddos, one of whom with special needs who is super active and lacks understanding of dangers. Therefore she needs constant supervision and watchfulness which is rewarding and fun, but also exceptionally draining physically, mentally and spiritually. Thanks for offering the prize draw Mary Jo.
- We are both hard workers, parents of 2 young children so we don't have the occasion to get away together as a couple or to relax. My husband is a builder with an ongoing achy body, and I'm a nature guide with a less achy body but a mind that needs to settle and relax! Both wildlife and nature lovers ;)
- It would be great to take time out for myself after a very hectic year.
- We have been regular visitors to Hanmer, even from across the ditch ( one of my sisters lives in NZ). However since we have become foster carers we are in need of a break and some healing. Even if it just to release frustrations with the system!
- This will greatly help me to recover from my current situation which I experienced recently. Thanks to Mary and Stephen.
- For my dear friend who supports me in times of need
- I would like to enter myself and my dear friend. We have both had challenging 2019s. My friend lost her much loved father to illness, after nursing and caring for him for many months. My situation is very different although many of the same emotions are attached. My sister has recently gone to prison, so for the last months I have been trying my best to help and support her 2 young children as well as my own 3 young children and the rest of my family. Both of us and I attended a Yoga/Meditation weekend with Mary Jo and I learnt so many strategies which have helped me through the past few months, I would love us to come back for a chance to relax and revive,ready to start 2020 in a positive light.
- For my girlfriend, she loves massage, it may also help with some of her health issues, IBS, tight neck & shoulders and migraines. And I’d accompany her too for a mini break away as I love the South Island, have very briefly visited Hanmer, so would love to explore properly. Namaste 🙏
- My husband and I celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in 2020 - what a great way to celebrate it would be!
- Always wanted to treat myself to a spa escape package. I am the mother of a gorgeous 16year old who could join me on this wonderful treat to set up good habits for life :-)
- Chris (my husband) and I enjoyed our stay and healing process last time. We would love to come back and do it again, learn more, relax more...
- I’m working on a healthier me.
- I’ve had an emotionally exhausting year full of change and growth which has at times been very painful. I would love to have this opportunity to rest and recalibrate for 2020. I would bring my mum as this would be a great opportunity for us to share some relaxing, quality time together. I know she needs it as this year has brought many challenges for her as well.
- I have two young children and another on the way. I'm going to need some relaxing me time.
- Having stayed with you once before I'd love to be able to share that with my partner
- I would love to take my best friend with me if I win. She has 2 boys under 5 and she is currently expecting a baby girl, due in March. Her husband is away from home (for work) for more than half the year so she would love to be able to get some time off to relax, rejuvenate and recharge!
- My husband and I work very hard all year with lots of family obligations and it would be nice just for the 2 of us to enjoy nature and each other.
- My husband works so hard to provide for our 8 kids and needs a break.
- I would love to share this special package with my 16 year old daughter and encourage good habits for life! Perhaps it could become a yearly retreat for us :-)
- I have had a tough last few years with a knee surgery and family issues. The opportunity to have two days of relaxing and rejuvenating would be amazing for my body and mind!
- My wife and I hope to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary in Hanmer Springs. We love it there, having been twice already, and we look forward to reliving our original visit to Mary Jo many years ago.
- I would love to win this for my dear friend. She has had a challenging year with her first baby, born with a heart defect via cesarean. She never complains and is a wonderful mum but I know this is just what she needs!! And she may just take me along too, and that would make for a very special girls treat!
- I’m entering this competition for my wife because she is amazing and has had a hard 8 weeks since giving birth to our son and deserves a break and time to unwind and relax
- So my bestie Jenny and I can have some quality relaxation,
- ‘me’ time, and also a fabulous catch up. We try and meet up once a year since i moved away from Glenorchy to the cool little town of Hokitika.
- This last year I worked 90hr weeks to help keep my families heads above water. I would love to say I am entering for someone else but I am so in need of some relaxation and renewal in order for me to keep looking after those I love I'm being a little selfish and hoping I am deserving enough. X
- I have learned that you need to take care of yourself as well in order to be able to be a human being that others enjoy being around. Plus I've been working incredibly hard this whole year ;-)
- Coming to NZ in January 2020 to visit my favourite country - would love to be able to visit the retreat and enjoy all that it offers.
- For the pure selfish pleasure of being pampered and being looked after in a most relaxing way. And to leave feeling on top of it all.
- We came to you guys for our honeymoon and would love to come back again in celebration of our 1yr anniversary. Love what you do and lovely people.
- I have recently been diagnosed with multiple skull tumours. I have a biopsy and tumour removal surgery booked for early February. I would love to come before then to get healthy and relax my mind.
- I have multiple sclerosis. I have looked for many answers for treatment. It all leads to a healthy lifestyle. I have strayed and need some time out to bring myself back on board. I am in need of wholesome fresh food and self care. Any extra pampering would be very welcome for my wellbeing.
