PAID CONTENT FOR TAHI ECO-RETREAT
Tahi Eco-retreat NEW ZEALAND
Tahi is a nature sanctuary, eco-retreat and honey producer in Northland, New Zealand. The property’s three luxury eco-cottages are set in 780 acres of tranquil bush, hills and wetlands nestled against the Pacific Ocean to form an oasis of restorative solitude. A secluded haven for walkers, birdwatchers
and nature-lovers, there’s plenty to explore, from golden sands and restored wetlands to regenerated native forests. These are home to 71 species of birds, including 22 rare and endangered endemic species. ‘Tahi’ (‘first’ or ‘one’ in Maori) comes from ‘O
Hua Tahi’ (‘first place of plenty’), the name given to this abundant, life-sustaining land by local Maori. Tahi’s purpose has been to transform what, until 2004, was barren farmland into a sanctuary of thriving wildlife, regenerated streams, wetlands and dunes. With 400,000 already planted, Tahi’s owners have pledged to plant a million native trees and plants to further enhance biodiversity and restore natural heritage, while amassing living carbon stores.
A regenerative business that aims to return
more than it takes, Tahi aims to go beyond carbon neutral and be biodiversity positive. This is measured by its bio value index, Tahi’s own proprietary, research-based methodolog which allocates carbon and biodiversity values to plant species, wetlands and soil biomes. Made from the nectar of regenerating native
manuka bushes and wildflowers on the property, Tahi’s pure, natural honey is not only carbon neutral but biodiversity positive and fully traceable back to its hive. All profits from Tahi’s eco-cottages, honey
products and onsite cafe fund the restoration of the nature and culture of this magical place, so visitors can not only enjoy it today but know they’re conserving it for tomorrow. Winning numerous sustainability awards,
including the Supreme and Restoring Nature categories at 2020’s New Zealand Sustainable Business Awards, has raised Tahi’s profile. But not enough to disturb the outstanding peace and tranquillity of this inimitable destination.
