Everything you need to know about your stay

We only ever have one booking at Waihōanga at a time, and usually we liaise with one person. We send you very clear emails with all the information you might need to know, and are also happy to field extra questions.

But emails can get lost, and the organiser isn’t always the facilitator or on-site point of contact.

If that sounds like you – this post is for you. All you need to know about your stay is right here. But if in doubt, please email [email protected] to make sure we’re liaising with the right person.

Directions to Waihōanga (including map).
The address for your GPS or phone is 32 Waihoanga Road, Otaki 5582.
Tech-free vibes: Once on Ōtaki Gorge Road, go through a tunnel of trees, turn left onto a suspension bridge, then immediately right. Find the Waihōanga sign and look for the fairies!

Detailed sleep and building layout (PDF) also includes site map and directions.
