Our bach (situated directly at the Puniho mark) is central to the entire Taranaki coast. Whether you’re looking for long lefts such as Kumara Patch, or punchy right handers like Rocky Rights, there is a wave for everyone within a short drive, or even walk. (Photos to come)
Check out our range of waves!
Graveyards
A super rippable left hander that works on all tides. This wave usually presents a fun session of long faces mixed with a bowly inside section. Graveyards is positioned right out in front of the retreat so whenever there is a wave, you will be the first ones to know!!!
Puniho’s
Puniho’s is a peeling left hander with a bit of kick to it. You will find the best surf between mid-high tides but there is almost always a wave on offer. It is a fast wave with a long face to really work your carves.
This wave is a 2 minute walk from the retreat!
Rocky Left’s
Rocky Left’s is a fast paced and bowly left hander for the more advanced surfers. This wave comes with a steep takeoff into a left hand face to really let rip. Mix this with the right winds and you’ll find yourself a solid barrel. Just watch out for the rock!!!
This wave is a 5 minute walk from the retreat!
Rocky Right’s
Rocky Right’s is a fast-paced right hander perfect for working your turns and getting in the occasional barrel. This wave has multiple sections to suit all surfing abilities, making it the perfect wave to take a group to.
This wave is a 10 minute walk from the retreat!
Stent Road
Stent Road is a world class right hander well known in New Zealand for being one of, if not the best right hander in the country. This wave offers a massive right hand face where you can do it all from get barrelled to ripping massive turns.
This wave is a 10 minute drive from the retreat!
The Taranaki coast line has over 30 different waves located on it, these are just a handful of the best breaks closest to the retreat.
