Tarata Eco Retreat is a secluded off-grid getaway nestled on the shores of Kāwhia Harbour in Te Waitere, New Zealand. 

We offer our two unique stays—Tarata Tent, a luxury African Safari-style tent, and Tarata Cabin, a charmingly renovated retreat. Both feature wood-fired hot tubs, outdoor living spaces, and breathtaking harbour and forest views, creating an intimate connection with nature. You can unwind to the sounds of native birds and explore. Our eco retreat is perfect for those seeking peace, privacy, and a touch of adventure.

It’s your time to truly unwind.
