Te Moata Retreat Centre

I love this place for it's simplicity and amazing vegetarian menu during retreats. The hosts are wonderful friendly people. Looking forward to heading up there again soon.

Run beautifully by a lovely couple. A lovely slice of heaven to reside in for a few days

Beautiful retreat centre ran by lovely people. Managers Paul and Anna Lena and chef Grace were marvellous staff. Hope to come back to explore more of its tracks. Make sure you look for the secret garden with flowers. A secret place for lunch or lazy afternoon to soak up the peace and beauty. Also go up to Manok/ Phoneix cottage if you didn't stop by entrance to marvel at the view of the valley and the islands in the distance harbour.The place is off grid, so they use solar power and no problem even at recent Gabrielle cyclone Feb 2023.The place need support to keep it running, volunteer your time be on service team or monthly donations. This is a unique place with thousand year old ferns. Let's keep this treasure alive NZ!

The most magical and special place for me in New Zealand. My home away from home.

One of the most incredibly healing places. Owners Dave and Jessie are truly gifted human beings, welcoming, loving. The food is accommodating and delicious. The centre is a haven of energetic bliss. I'm so blessed to have gotten the chance to experience this place.

Absolutely the most wonderful, spiritual and rare place. The hosts, the multicultural staff, the food, the facilitators, the bush and river and walks, the outdoor spaces.Incredible. Moving. Home.Thank you to everyone involved in my experience. I have missed the Coromandel, it is such an amazing place. Thank you everyone.

I could wax lyrical but nothing I say would do this review the justice it deserves. I attended the summer silent retreat 2020 and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone on the planet should attend however unfeasible - or for many who are so misattuned - unpalatable this may be. What can I say but lucky me, sad for you...basic everything, off the grid living, ecological focus, fabulous food, generous service and managers, inspired teachings that are apparently growing more secular as time goes on - I certainly appreciate the Buddhist references but most everything is more plain common sense and real; pay attention, accept you as you are, breathe. Nothing especially Buddhist in that!!! I will be back. Thanks Te Moata, what a gift you are.

Wonderful haven in the midst of the lush Coromandel bush. What a lovely genuine group of people.

Amazing, sacred place to reconnect with nature and others ❤️ highly recommend any retreats and volunteering

A very special and sacred part of Aotearoa with amazing energy and so healing. Experiencing the labyrinth is something so unique and profound - a recommendation for entire humanity.
