WaiOra Wellbeing
​
“Waiora translated from Maori means ‘Waters of wellbeing’ and the name is inspired by both my respect for traditional cultural values and my connection to Nature and especially the shores of this beautiful island I call home. It is an appropriate expression of how it feels to live in this wonderful and wild coastal environment. Since the first waka graced our shores – Aotea Great Barrier Island has been honoured as a place for healing, wellbeing and restoration. Our unique environment holds many keys to Mother Nature’s healing secrets.”
