The Ruru Cabin is a space that has been especially built as an off-grid location for prayer, contemplation and retreat.
Made from timber milled off the Mamaku farm, and built over the past three years by prayerful volunteers, it’s the perfect spot for individuals or small groups who want to disconnect from the hustle in order to reconnect with God.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
This year we are running 40 Weekends at Ruru.
We invite individuals, pairs or trios to book a Friday and Saturday night weekend to go on a time of quiet retreat, prayer and reorientation towards God’s rhythms of grace. We believe personal retreat is a key aspect that is often missing from peoples discipleship journey – and we hope Ruru will help re-invigorate your walk with Jesus.
See the available weekends in the Google Calendar, and fill out the form below to book your weekend.
We will provide a basic template for prayer and retreat if you wish to have some structure. A modest koha is appreciated.
40 Weekends at Ruru runs from 20 March to 20 December 2026.
