Overview

Tamaki Maori Village in Rotorua is the only fully recreated, life sized Pre-European Maori Village in New

Zealand. We are proud to say that we are still the only cultural experience in New Zealand that has ever won

the Supreme New Zealand Tourism Award. We offer your clients interactive and educational encounters with

our people, a chance to step back in time and see what life would have been like pre-European contact. We

allow our visitors an insight as to who we are today as a people – through the warmth, humour and

manakitanga (hospitality) extended by all of our staff, guides, hosts and performers.

The Tour

Share in the Powhiri, our ancient ceremony of welcome before entering our pre-European Maori Village

nestled within a native Tawa Forest. The village comes alive with sights, sounds & activity of days gone by

including haka, poi, tattooing, weaving, carving and arts of warrior training. You will have the opportunity to

participate in these activities. Witness the earth being scraped away from the hangi pit to reveal baskets of

food cooked beneath the ground on hot stones. Enter the ancestral meeting house and enjoy a powerful

cultural performance before dining the traditional hangi buffet feast!

Te Puia Venues Te Puia

Overview New Zealand’s premier Maori cultural centre and home of the world famous Pohutu Geyser, our people have called the geothermal valley of Whakarewarewa home for over 25 generations, come and be immersed in this natural landscape of gushing waters, steaming vents and boiling earth. Set amidst 500 pools and 65 geyser vents, of which 7 are active, the stunningly majestic Pohutu takes centre stage. Meaning “Big splash or explosion”, Pohutu puts up a spectacular performance of pure power with regular eruptions that reach up to 30 meters, skyward.

Te Whakaruruhau

Pataka Kai

Overview

Te Puia’s new Pataka Kai offers diners spectacular geothermal views while they enjoy a range of Kiwi flavours, with both dine-in and grab-and-go options available. Taking Te Puia’s commitment to manaakitanga (hosting) to another level, the development expands Te Puia’s seated dining capacity to approximately 650 people between the new Pataka Kai and existing Te Whakaruruhau, which sit adjacent to each other. Overlooking the valley’s geothermal vista, with sweeping views of the world-famous Pōhutu Geyser, the Pataka Kai seats up to 350 people, including outdoor deck dining and indoor spaces which can be sectioned off to create private areas. The menu has been created to be sophisticated, innovative and cutting-edge, infusing Māori flavours, cuisine and cooking styles, while still meeting the palate preferences of Te Puia’s diverse market.

Te Poari Te Poari is situated next to the main kitchen, making it the ideal venue for functions where catering is important. With seating for 120 and a separate buffet area, Te Poari is Te Puia’s versatile gourmet restaurant.
