The Enchanted Life at MoonWillow Manor

A mystical farmhouse sanctuary near Auckland offering peaceful stays, personal retreats, soulful gatherings, and meaningful ceremony.

A Place to Exhale

The Enchanted Life begins in the simple moments — a warm cup of tea, birdsong at dawn, a labyrinth walked with intention, or the quiet comfort of a place where nothing is expected of you.

Tucked into the green folds of the Hibiscus Coast, MoonWillow Manor is a mystical farmhouse sanctuary where everyday life and sacred space gently meet. More than a destination, it is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect.

Surrounded by gardens, pond reflections, quiet pathways, woodland trails on 10 acres, and cozy gathering spaces, MoonWillow offers room to rest, create, reflect, and simply be. Whether you're joining us for a peaceful stay, a personal retreat, a meaningful gathering, or a special ceremony, you'll find a warm welcome and a gentler pace waiting here.

Meet Your Host

Hello, I'm Sonya.

I'm the creator of The Enchanted Life and keeper of MoonWillow Manor, a mystical farmhouse sanctuary created for rest, reflection, meaningful connection, and intentional living.

For many years, I have been creating spaces where people can gather, celebrate, heal, and reconnect with what matters most. As a celebrant, retreat host, sacred circle and labyrinth facilitator, I believe deeply in the power of slowing down, sharing stories, honouring life's seasons, and creating moments of genuine connection.

Together with my husband, Greg, who often works his own quiet magic through hospitality and home-cooked meals, we welcome guests into our home and invite them to experience a gentler pace of life.

Whether you're joining us for a peaceful stay, a personal retreat, a gathering, or a ceremony, our hope is simple: that you leave feeling rested, inspired, and a little more connected to yourself and the world around you.
