Inspiration, Resources and Community
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.

4 bedrooms, suitable for 24 people max. Contains 4 queen beds, 6 bunkbeds, and 4 bed couches in the living room, plus 1 kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

1 bedroom, suitable for 2 people max. Contains 1 queen bed. Long-drop loo is a stones throw-a-way.
We also have other rooms available at different times of year depending on the current size and needs of our community. For even bigger groups our hall can be used for marae style sleeping, and in warmer months we’ve had people tenting also on our (very rocky) paddock.
