Kaiārahi Noho at Castaways Resort
Join us for a deeply nourishing noho in the rohe of Ngāti Te Awa Waiohua, at Castaways Resort – especially for our incredible kaiārahi.
This noho is all about rest, reconnection, and whakawhanaungatanga. Over two soul-filling days, you’ll enjoy peaceful moana views, gentle raranga, hikoi along the moana, delicious kai, and space to simply breathe. You’ll also gain Psychological First Aid certification with the team from NZ Red Cross.
Nau mai.
