What is Replenish?
The Replenish Respite and Healing Facility is in the North Canterbury countryside, away from all the stress of busy life.
Our trained and capable volunteers provide loving care for those in need of rest, respite, healing and optional prayer counselling as required. Our intention is to provide a welcoming and homely environment, of peaceful restoration, for those in need of TLC.
Our centre can cater to your needs, whether you're looking for a quiet break, a safe space to recover in, or caring support and prayer. It is suitable for any individual over 18 years old.
What costs are involved?
We have a suggested donation of $100 per night or suggested donation of $500 per week. Please note that this is negotiable and some sponsorship is available for those who qualify. We also accept referrals from other agencies who have funding available for respite care.
