Come spend the day or a weekend in a fantastic setting where you can participate in a range of presentations, wānanga and activities that will educate, inspire, refresh and reinvigorate you as people, parents, workers, teachers and managers, through connecting with the wonders of nature. We live in a time where everything is moving so quickly and our tamariki can easily get swept up in the tsunami of data and information that has no real essence or connection to the foundations of life. So it is important we maintain that connection for them until they make it themselves.

Waitao Village Farmers Market is here for people who are interested and care where their food comes from and want to support local organic producers. We create a community experience where people who grow, make & create food can connect with their customers. We value community and sharing the nourishment and experience of our food with you.

Waitao Village Eco-Lodge Tauranga will be a newly built complex, offering luxury and or budget accommodation in park-like surroundings. Enjoy our rural setting just 20 minutes drive from the CBD in a community that co-exists with the 110 hecatres that has an organic macadamia orchard, farmers market, cafe-restaurant, natural medicine therapies, bushwalking, cycling, wildlife, and easy access to a range of nature activities. 

Waitao Village Cafe and Restaurant "THE WOOLSHED" will be a licensed independent family owned cafe and restaurant with  a very tasty  Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner menu comprising local organic produce catering to all tastes including a selection of vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free options. It’s not just the menu that delivers style and authenticity, exposed distressed timber and brick leave you cocooned in an earthy warmth as you dine in a refurbished woolshed that screams hearty food and rewarding twist of flavours. 

Come visit our shop and enjoy a wide and unique collection of art, crafts, food, homewares and other quirky knick knacks. Whether you make the best coffee in the office, paint the walls of your room in crazy colors, have a collection of individually named cacti, sell your hand painted T shirts online, or just take awesome iPhone pictures, you’re an artist. Maybe you make sculptures, write music, dance professionally or paint. Life is an artform and we all find our ways of expression, differently. And yet, we are all in it together. Join the network that connects the emerging with the established, the amateur with the professional, the new with the old.
