Fantastic longer term accommodation for working holiday backpackers. The Wharf Hub is a place for both being and for doing, a place for both inner restoration and helping others, a place to discover what inspires you.

The Wharf Hub offers good clean inexpensive 'ship shape' accommodation. It is also an active retreat offering different free 'voyage' experiences, like standing in awe before a 2000 year old burial tree named Taketakerau. These are listed on our web site.

The house has full cooking facilities, four bedrooms, a boat house, two bathrooms and decks aplenty. Places to mingle and spaces to retreat. What you gain from your stay you can take away.
