    A cultural exchange at a Retreat and Conference Centre set in beautiful park like grounds - with bush covered walking tracks. We are a registered not for profit charitable trust and we host individuals and groups from all over New Zealand and around the world. There is a meditation sanctuary overlooking Lake Taupo and Mt - and we have beautiful views all around.
    You can help in our amazing garden and grounds also in our kitchen with our friendly cook - who is happy to share her recipes with you. We have lots of projects going on year round we would love a helping hand with.
