Feast on song, drama, tradition, and divine seasonal kai (cuisine) within our forest Pā (village) blanketed by towering Tawa trees, its blazing bonfires, and forest-formed amphitheatre.
Te Pā Tū offers 3-hour evening events that change with each season of the maramataka, the Māori lunar calendar.
Across summer, Tū Te Rā celebrates an abundant harvest, and we explore concepts, rituals, and stories of ancient Māori warfare and peace.
Throughout winter, Tū Te Ihi marks promise heralded by the arrival of the Matariki star cluster which high and bright in winter skies, signalling the new lunar year – we share the energy and passion of this celebration.
Cultural knowledge unique to each season is shared from the outset – rituals, songs, stories and continue across the night. From the beginning too, we share local, seasonal kai - plentiful and delicious. Kai horotai (indigenous canapes) is followed by a torch lit walk to a lavish 3-course fusion feast.

5.00Exceptional, lots of fun and well done. They did a good job engaging everyone with an interactive experience and so was a good experience for entire family. Appetizers and dinner were also good and done in such a way, kids had choices if they didn’t like something.
A lovely evening

4.00Very interesting cultural experience with interactive activities. Performance was skillful and fun. Really felt that we were being brought in to the family. Food was good and ample but service even as family style was inconsistent and drink orders at our table weren’t taken until the meal was half over. Overall a very enjoyable evening.

5.00A truly enjoyable experience. The Maori cultural show was memorble. The MC and performers were amazing. Some of the.singers could be in a NYC Broadway show. And the food was well prepared and flavorful.
Interesting Māori insight

4.00Fascinating insight into Māori culture. What I liked the most is the interactive element, where we were split into groups and got to try out haka, various Māori instruments etc in a simulation of what school would be in a Māori village. Dinner was family style sharing plates and we had interesting companions to share travel stories with.
Great NZ experience
