Overview

Experience the warmth of our people during an evening of ceremonial rituals, powerful cultural performance, storytelling & hangi feasting!
Traditional
Share in the Powhiri; our ancient ceremony of welcome before you are invited into our Pre-European Maori village nestled within the native Tawa forest.

Educational
Enter our living village, as it comes alive with the sights, sounds and activity of days gone by, including facial tattooing, weaving, carving and demonstrations on how our food was cooked and preserved many years ago. See, touch, take time and talk to our people as you wander through our village you may even be invited to take part in stick games and warrior training.

Interactive
Witness the earth being scraped carefully away from the hangi pit by your selected Chiefs, to reveal baskets laden with your sumptuous, mouth watering feast, which has been cooked beneath the ground on hot stones.

Entertaining
At the heart of the Village, enter our ancestral Meeting House, and relax as our family entertain you with a powerful Cultural performance, including action songs, poi, stick games and the world famous haka" Maori War Dance.

Feasting
The sharing of food is an important part of Maori custom so we now invite you to join us for the traditional hangi buffet feast, followed by our New Zealand dessert. The evening draws to an end with the Poroporoaki the official closing ceremony. There will be waiata (songs) and whaikorero (speeches), before you are safely transferred back to your Rotorua accommodation.
