Te Pā Tū

Te Pā Tū (previously Tamaki Māori Village) presents culture and kai (cuisine) – sharing Māori history, traditions, and future aspirations across four hours of celebration and feasting. Pā sit at the epicentre of our communities. They were places of physical refuge in times of war, and they remain sanctuaries for our mind and spirit. Pā are where we meet to discuss critical issues, where we celebrate occasions of significance and where we strengthen our own understanding of who we are. Te Pā Tū is located 15 minutes South of Rotorua, 45 minutes North of Taupō, and 3 hours South of Auckland International Airport along State Highway 5. Kō te pā tū, he tohu nō te ora. An elevated sanctuary, a symbol of wellbeing. Nau mai, haere mai. Welcome to Te Pā Tu.
