Where land, sea, and spirit align.

Opunake is more than a flagship — it’s the spiritual home of Aroha Retreats NZ. Here, we honour the rhythm of nature, the richness of local stories, and the power of stillness. Purpose-built and intentionally designed, this retreat space offers everything from ocean-view meditation decks to shared gardens and nurturing spaces for healing. Whether you come to facilitate, create, or simply be, Opunake offers a place to pause — and return to yourself.

Where moana meets maunga — retreat into the wild beauty of Taranaki.

Our Opunake flagship retreat is a sanctuary between mountain and sea, nestled on the rugged Taranaki coast. Surrounded by native bush, rolling farmland, and the timeless presence of Mt Taranaki, this location offers a unique setting for deep rest, renewal, and reconnection. With space for immersive retreats, wellness gatherings, and creative residencies, it's where Aroha Retreats NZ brings its full vision to life — grounded, expansive, and heart-led.
