Nature Sanctuary. Eco-Retreat.
Sustainable Well-being.

Situated in a remote corner of New Zealand’s North Island, Tahi is a land reawakened. More than just honey, it’s a philosophy. A rejuvenation project in the making since 2004 (349,000 indigenous trees planted and counting), Tahi is a living example of the transformative power of sustainable business. With 100% of profits going directly back into conservation, culture and community, we have created a biodiversity-positive, ecological sanctuary for people and wildlife. Stay at our eco-retreat, relax and explore in the luxury of spectacular seclusion.

At one with nature.

“He kura tangata, e kora e rokohanga; he kura whenua ka rokahanga.”

“POSSESSIONS ARE TEMPORARY THINGS COMPARED TO THE LAND.”

THE GREATNESS OF GROUNDING. Earth grounding is the process of going outdoors and making direct contact with the earth - standing barefoot in nature, which is more important now than ever. Stay and really take in your surroundings and all that nature offers. This mood-boosting, stress-reducing wellbeing practice can reconnect you. #wellbeing⁠ ⁠ 📷 Chandler Cruttenden

WHAT IS AN APIARIST? It’s a beekeeper! They work in apiculture - beekeeping. It’s not just about harvesting honey, but also beeswax, managing the hive and Queen to keep bees healthy, happy and strong. Humans have been collecting honey for thousands of years, with the oldest records of harvesting wild honey coming from 10,000 years ago!

SAVING OUR SAND DUNES. Just like wetlands, dry lands are important too. Sand dunes are amazing sites of biodiversity, especially coastal ones. They are ecologically significant, hosting a variety of species of plants and animals, including birds and lizards. We replant native, important species on the dunes like the sand daphne to help take care of nature.

HELPING NATURE HELP ITSELF. We talk a lot about our restoration and conservation work at Tahi. Although we have put a lot of hard work and effort into caring for our environment, nature has helped our efforts. When nature has a helping hand, it helps itself. When we started there were 6 species of introduced grass, now there are 141 species of indigenous vascular plants at Tahi. 19 species were specifically introduced by us, but 2 were self-introduced! ⁠ ⁠ 📷 Aaron Burden

AFTER THE WIND, RAIN AND SUN COMES HONEY. Your skin is battered by the elements, so prioritising self care can do wonders for wellbeing. Try this honey face mask to help give your dry skin a break. Add a tablespoon of honey to a half tablespoon of sweet almond oil. Mix and apply to skin, leaving it to soak for 10 to 20 minutes. Rinse away with warm water, avoiding your eyes (honey can sting!). (You can use 2 tablespoons of whole fat yoghurt instead of almond oil!) ⁠ ⁠ 📸 Andriyko Podilnyk on Unsplash
