CareCNC is led by Ngāwaka and Danielle of local Ngāti Kahu descent and is based in the beautiful surroundings of Waimahana Bay, Far North, Northland, Aotearoa New Zealand
Drawing on Māori and Samoan values, we create meaningful cultural encounters that connect people with place, purpose, and one another
Through off-grid respite stays, guided experiences, cultural learning, and wellbeing-focused conversations, we provide opportunities for rest, reflection, and reconnection
Our work is grounded in the values of Tangata (people), Taiao (environment), and Tiaki (care), creating authentic experiences that honour culture, community, and the natural world
