Well Elly and I have just returned from a three week break in South America where we spent the first two weeks in a Colombian city called Cartagena visiting the happiest person I know. She’s our “Mother Teresa” - a seventy seven year young Catholic nun who happens to also be my Aunty Clare. She lives in one of the larger makeshift towns that have sprung up because of the activities of the paramilitaries and the guerilla forces and here she shines day after day, year after year in conditions that most of us would consider intolerable. She lives in the simplest of ways for herself and brings laughter and joy and hope to everyone around her - the people absolutely love her– what a gift, what a blessing and also what a challenge.
The team here at Living Springs has a similar purpose - to be salt and light and to be a blessing to all who come through the door and as a team we are growing in this regard with warm hearts in a cold winter.
Blessings from Denis and all the team.

Zane & Mel from the Farm Park were due to run their very first Horse Camp over Queen’s Birthday weekend. However, due to dire weather predictions they were forced to cancel. They are planning to reschedule in the coming months, so if you are an experienced rider, have your own horse and are keen to get together with others for some great treks, workshops and lots of fun activities, register your interest now admin@livingsprings.co.nz and we’ll keep you posted.

Perfect for corporate groups of up to 30 people, Harbour View is becoming a popular choice for off-site meetings, team briefings, training programmes and team luncheons.
Refurbished to a high standard this facility offers superb views over Lyttelton Harbour, has a fully equipped kitchenette for refreshments and has full power and data capability. It has a comfortable and inviting atmosphere thanks to an abundance of natural light and the warmth provided by a log burner.
In such idyllic surroundings it’s hard not to be inspired and energised – truly a world away from the office (and only 20mins drive).
Harbour View also offers excellent accommodation options with 14 modern twin share rooms available for those who choose to stay on site. And of course, the catering is taken care of with our in-house executive chef.

Our new website is up and running and we are continuing to update and develop it to keep it as relevant as possible. There is plenty to look at but for a great insight into how much Living Springs has to offer, take a look at the picture gallery. It is full of great images of our facilities, recent events & camps, activities, functions and much more.
