ABOUT | HI ESTATE

Hi, I’m Yaela.
Kaitiaki, steward, custodian of HI ESTATE and the WEAREHI vision.

I’ve spent years inside retreat culture from every angle: as a coach, facilitator, guest, builder, and the woman in the back row who can feel when something is real and when it’s just performance.

HI ESTATE is the space I wished existed, both for the people holding the room and the people coming to be changed by it.

This land is not owned in the way modern culture likes to pretend. It is stewarded.

We treat it with reverence, responsibility, and a clear intention: to build a beacon for the kind of connection this world is starving for.

HI ESTATE is a physical retreat venue and creative estate in Northland, NZ. It seamlessly merges luxury accommodation with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Our approach emphasizes sustainability and ensures exceptional experiences for every guest.
