Ngāpeke Permaculture

Ngāpeke Permaculture is busy with part-time workers and volunteers for 3 days of the week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

The rest of the week you can rest in solitude surounded by nature and wildlife. Help yourself to seasonal fresh fruit and veg from the food-forest and the numerous forest gardens on the property. You also have food from our freezers. You will have full acess to our fully fitted out farm kitchen for cooking and dining.

Ngāpeke Permaculture is rural and a 14 min pedal bike ride to the local shops and post box at the Welcome Bay Village. It also has a 4 Square where you can purchase basic grocery items. It also has a Laundromat, Chemist, Bakery, Sushi Shop, Pizza Shop and a Petrol Station.

A bus stop to Tauranga City is half way between the Welcome Bay Village and Ngāpeke Permaculture.

On days off, walk down to the slow flowing river on the property to take a dip. The cat, the goat, the pig, the sheep, the chooks, the ducks and the horses, and maybe other worldpackers could keep you company on these days.

Or enjoy the Mineral Hotpools (a short bike ride away) or Kaiate Waterfalls (2 and a 1/2 hour trek from the property) or at the tidal beach (half hour walk away). Alternatively, transport to local places of interest can be arranged with us.

Papamoa Hills Cultural Heritage Regional Park is a 10 minute drive away. It is worth taking a walk to the sumit while taking in the breathtaking views along the way. Again, drop off and pick-up can be arranged. Just ask one of our staff.

Mount Maunganui is a beach town looking across the Pacific Ocean and a 25 minute car ride away. It's possible to use public transport catching buses to get there. Alternatively, drop off and pick-up can be arranged. Just ask one of our staff.

Kind regards

We are a team of 4 kaimahi (staff) and love what we do working with nature and not against nature! None of our kaimahi were "interviewed" for the job, rather they showed up and didn't go away lol. We all have busy lives outside of Ngāpeke Permaculture but it definately is our happy place :-)

I had a blast! I was there during their light trail set up for the new year and it was such an amazing experience to see it all come together. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming I never felt out of place!

I had the best time at Ngapeke Permaculure. I've spent three weeks volunteering for auntie and her community. She is one of the loveliest hosts, she is very kind and thoughtful. I felt like I was part of her family. Spending most of the month in the tent was an adventure I won't ever forget. I definitely recommend this place.

I stayed with my sister at Ngapeke Permaculture for three weeks and it was a truly unique experience for both of us, which we wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.
Auntie, how our host Rina called herself, is truly a warmhearted person, whom we liked from our first meeting.
She created this amazing place, where you can learn a lot about Maori culture and living in a connection with nature.
Volunteers sleep in a tent, which we both liked and viewed as an adventure under the stars.
Our tasks were mostly focused on gardening and taking care of animals.
We highly recommend!

I had the most amazing time staying at Napeke. The people are incredibly kind and helpful. The work is very reasonable and mostly consists of feeding the chickens, ducks and the cat, collecting eggs, watering plants, weeding and planting. The whole stay is community focused and you will meet, work alongside and learn from locals. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

This was amazing, the hole crew at Ngapeke was great! The hole time we spent here we loved, we learned so much and had so fun! They were the nicest and best coworkers, and the were so welcoming and friendly! They were so generous and opened the place for us, we could live the real farm life and eat from the land!
Would recommend this to everyone, if you have the luxury to come here, enjoy!
