Hestia Rodney Women's Refuge

Offering a protective, supportive space, working by a client-led approach that supports you to live a life that is free from family violence.

We are based in Auckland’s North, from Riverhead/Coatesville as far up as Mangawhai, working with women and families around the Rodney district and North Auckland. We provide a confidential safe service, which women can come to or access in the community, when their abusive domestic situations are no longer tolerable.

If you are in immediate danger, please phone 111
