Our Kirikiriroa Nuns Residence, established on 30th November, 2021 through the generous support of donors, is the first of its kind—a permanent home for Theravāda bhikkhunīs and laywomen dedicated to practice in the heart of New Zealand.
Nestled in a peaceful Hamilton suburb near tranquil parkland, a short walk to the Waikato river, it offers a serene retreat while remaining accessible to communities in Auckland, Rotorua, New Plymouth, and Tauranga. The residence provides ample space for nuns and laywomen seeking solitude, along with a well-equipped Buddhist library (see Library) and a dedicated meditation hall.
