Welcome to the Front Space at Tatapouri Bay – where the rhythm of the ocean sets the tone for movement, connection, and creativity. Nestled alongside our oceanfront café and just steps from the sand, this beautiful open-air space is where we bring people together to move, breathe, connect, and celebrate.
From energising sunrise yoga in Gisborne to cold plunge sessions, local fitness classes, creative makers markets, and soulful live music by the sea – there’s always something happening on our beachfront.
We’re building a calendar that reflects the vibrant spirit of our coastal community, inviting locals and travellers alike to show up just as they are.

A Tatapouri Love Story ♥️
It was an emotional morning witnessing the elopement of Andrew and Tati here at Tatapouri. Surrounded by close friends and family, they made their vows as the sun rose behind them, marking a new beginning. It`s hard to believe that almost six years ago Tati arrived as vagabond on our doorstep during covid. Since then she has become an integral part of our Tata family and the community. It just goes to shows how life changing a decision can be and we feel truly honoured to be a part of her journey. From weary traveller to wifey 🤭 🙌
Wishing you both loads of happiness and incredible sunrises 🌅
Ps. If your`e looking for elopement inspiration here you have it! We are always happy to facilitate with special occasions 🤗
