Our food is prepared by women for women and all the meals are nutritious, wholesome and creative. We can cater for most dietary requirements thanks to Christine & Karen’s culinary skills and knowledge.
BREAKFAST – Your personally chosen breakfast is delivered to your room. Enjoy at your leisure.
LUNCH – To make the most of the outdoors, lunch is served in the ambient back garden or in view of the wild west coast surf from the upstairs deck.
Pre-dinner drinks – Enjoy whilst watching a Piha sunset or getting cosy around the fire.
DINNER – In summer it is served in our upstairs dining room overlooking the beach. In winter, the warmth of the fire creates a more intimate dining experience..
Each bedroom also has tea and coffee making facilities.
Whenever possible, organic vegetables and herbs from our garden are used in the preparation of meals. All meat and eggs purchased are free range. Sweet treats are made using low G.I. coconut sugar.

What many women seem to appreciate the most is not having to do anything to make the meals happen and for the used plates and cutlery to be taken away and the dishes done.
Forever thanks to Selma Nicholson, who for seven years while raising her son Gavin, set the ever-increasing standard for meals at Te Wahi Ora. And a special thank you to all the women who have worked hard in the Te Wahi Ora kitchen to keep finding ways of producing nutritious yet delicious tasting food.
