Location

RedBach Retreat in located in Koitiata, a small sea-side village located on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island. It is adjacent to Turakina Beach, 33kms south of Wanganui, 60kms west of Palmerston North.

The village was established in 1917 and is one of those increasingly rare small seaside villages where you can get away from it all’ in an unspoiled part of New Zealand. The adjacent Turakina Beach is the playground of Koitiata’s residents and visitors.

Koitiata is 8 Kms from State Highway 3. It is reached via Beach Road which is a sealed rural road which travels west from the highway. The turnoff into Beach Road is at the northern edge of Turakina village and is well signposted.

RedBach is located at 9 Rapaki Street. Rapaki Street is the 2nd street left as you travel through the village down Wainui Street towards the sea.

A RedBach Retreat sign hangs above the main entrance gate.
