Experience Maori Culture and Traditions
Embark on this journey as you partake in the revelation of the traditional hangi feast and relish for lunch in buffet style.

Embrace nature and explore the echoes of the ancient reconstructed fortified village site unravelling the ways of life of the Māori and the natural spring Te Wai Whakarukuhanga a Atua (The waters of the Gods) also known as Te Puna Tapu o Tuhoe (a famous ancestor and tribe).
