Ngatiawa River Monastery is nestled in the heart of the Reikorangi Valley, near the Waikanae township and the maunga Kapakapanui of the Tararua ranges. The Ngatiawa River cuts across the property and throughout the year, its rushing to Kāpiti forms the soundtrack to our lives.

Ngatiawa River Monastery is available for guests from Tuesday afternoon until Sunday afternoon most weeks — we do not take bookings on Sunday night or Monday nights. We are also shut during the months of January and June — these are our community’s rest time. We are a dry monastery, which means we are drug and alcohol free so please leave those at home.
