Ātaahua Hills is a healing and wellness retreat at 74 Dudley Road in Hamurana, Rotorua, listed as a bed and breakfast. Its stays are shaped by Māori culture: guests are welcomed with a powhiri, can learn traditional arts and crafts, and are introduced to rongoā Māori, traditional Māori medicine.
The retreat offers yoga at dawn over the valleys, meditation beside a stream and forest bathing under the stars, and describes itself as a sanctuary for unwinding and reconnecting. The owners are still building it and share progress and construction news through a newsletter. Our pick in Hamurana for an outdoor retreat built around Māori culture.
