There are no blankets in the Main Hall. Please bring a light blanket or sarong to cover yourself at dawn and dusk as it can be a little cooler.
Mosquitos are not a major concern at Tauhara due to its cooler climate and higher elevation by Lake Taupō. That said, like most places in New Zealand during the warmer months, you may encounter the occasional mosquito or sandfly—especially in the evenings outdoors. We recommend bringing a light insect repellent for comfort, just in case.

You're not alone—many of our guests arrive solo, and Tauhara is the perfect place to feel at ease. New Zealand is one of the safest and friendliest countries in the world, and Kiwis are well known for their warm hospitality. If you're flying into Auckland or Wellington, the onward journey to Taupō is straightforward by domestic flight, shuttle, or rental car. Taupō Airport is just 15 minutes from Tauhara Retreat Centre, and we'll provide you with clear instructions and local transport options to make your arrival smooth.

As for sharing a room—remember that most people are coming with the same intention: to grow, connect, and feel supported. If you book a twin share, we'll carefully pair you with another guest of the same gender. Often, these room connections lead to lasting friendships.

PLUS... if you're not currently a member (or have been a member before), we highly recommend you take up our Inner Self Mastery membership. It's a beautiful way to connect with fellow retreat participants online beforehand, and you'll quickly realise you are not alone.

This is a wonderful opportunity to lean in, trust the process, and embrace the adventurous side of yourself.
