Information about booking ...


There are various options for the use of Te Waiora House.

You may wish to take time out and stay for a few days, or you may use the house for a day retreat.  

Groups are also welcome to use Te Waiora for a day visit or overnight retreat.

We would love you to come and enjoy our facilities.

One night at Te Waiora covers a 24hr period. It usually includes three meals and a night's accommodation.  It costs us approximately $95 for each night's stay per person. However, we would like all who need time out to be welcomed and you are encouraged to contact us to discuss a subsidy if needed to enable you to come.

Maybe you are eligible for Carer Support - MoH or DHB.
