Food/Catering at Tauhara Conference & Retreat Centre

Tauhara staff take pride in offering healthy, nutritious meals that are prepared with love. 

Healthy, nutritious meals

Tauhara's kitchen has a long history of offering fresh, often organic and vegetarian cuisine, with much of the fruit and vegetables grown on-site in the Centre's own organic gardens. 

Menu options

We are always happy to provide a range of menu options to suit you and your group. A full daily menu can be provided, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and morning and afternoon tea. Other options, including self-catering, can be discussed with the Centre team. Meals are generally served buffet style. 

Special Diet Requests

Gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, wheat-free and other diet restrictions are catered for if the request is made in advance. There is a small surcharge for gluten-free and vegan diets, to allow for alternative ingredients. 

Tauhara Cookbook

Many of the delicious dishes that you will enjoy during your visit have been published in the Centre's much-reprinted recipe book, From Tauhara's kitchen. The book includes wholesome vegetarian recipes from New Zealand, compiled by Catherine Grace who is a Trustee, during her years as Kitchen Co-ordinator. Copies are available from the office for $30 while you are visiting the Centre or $35 including postage and packing by mail order.
