Discover Your Creative Spark

Experience the transformative beauty of Parihoa Farm through our Creative Residency programs.

Nestled on Auckland's stunning west coast, just 45 minutes from the central business district, Parihoa is a unique retreat that combines natural serenity with spaces designed to inspire innovation and connection.

Two Pathways

Choose between our Self-Funded Creative Residency for maximum flexibility or our Application-Based Creative Residency for a collaborative experience with reduced rates.

Self-Funded Creative Residency

This program is perfect for individuals or groups of friends or collaborators who want to invest in their creative journey. Whether you're working on a solo project or looking to brainstorm with a team, this option provides exclusive access to Parihoa's breathtaking environment and world-class amenities. By covering your own accommodation and stay, you gain the flexibility to design your residency experience to fit your goals.

Minimum Stay: One week

Starting Cost: TBD

Application-Based Creative Residency

Residents contribute to the Parihoa community through creative projects, events, or content that aligns with our values, while receiving support in the form of reduced accommodation rates.

Minimum Stay: One week

Starting Cost: $1,000 per person, per week
