Aro Hā was born of the intention to create a facility that exemplifies a more resilient localised living solution. From permaculture to passive haus techniques, they’ve attempted to integrate best practices for solving the essentials of life. The 8.4-hectare site (about 21 acres) sits on a sub-alpine terrace with expansive views of Lake Wakatipu.
Merging ancient traditions with modern technology, Aro Hā gets the best of both worlds: submerged crops stores in the cellars refrigerated by the ambient temperature of the earth, with state-of-the-art building management systems to monitor the site, allowing efficient conversion of sun and water to energy
Aro Hā focuses on ensuring a healthy gut for the mind and body, using digestive-friendly nutritiom such as hydration, probiotics and alkalinity.
The menus at the retreats are a mix of vegetarian cuisine and meals are: Paleo friendly, gluten free, dairy free, and enzymatically active, the diet is rich in trace minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients.
