If you're planning a group retreat and need the space - we've got 90 acres you can escape to!
We host churches, all kinds of groups and conferences right here on site.
From peaceful bush walks to adventurous activities, conference rooms for the space to use as you need- there is something for everyone and anyone. Tōtara Springs can host your group from a minimum of 80 to over 600+ people.
The perfect place
for your next gathering
At Tōtara Springs, we host groups — from family reunions to football teams — and we'll help you put on a getaway worth remembering.
Leave the world behind on ninety acres of grounds and native bush. We cater for groups from 80 to 600+, with a variety of accommodation options, meals cooked on site, and activities for all ages that range from peaceful bush walks to white-knuckle adventure. Our team is on hand throughout your stay.
Church groups
Time away as a church does something a Sunday morning can't. Conversations run longer, people who only nod at each other in the foyer end up sharing a table, and there's space for teaching to be worked through rather than just heard.
Whether you're a church of 80 or 400, we'll handle the logistics so your leaders can be with their people. Our all-inclusive pricing keeps it simple — booking, catering, facilities and activities in one conversation.
Leadership and elders' retreats
Smaller groups are welcome too. A few quiet days looking out over the Kaimais is a good setting for the work of praying and thinking together about where your church is going.
