The Māori phrase Kai Waho can be translated as outdoor cuisine. It can also describe
a master, or teacher, of the ways of the wilderness. For guests at Tamau Pā, on the beautiful tribal lands of the Tuwharetoa iwi, both these meanings merge to create
an unforgettable food and wilderness experience unparalleled elsewhere.

Tamau Pā, our comfortable whare (cabin), is situated on the eastern rim of the Taupo basin. Set in picturesque surroundings, at 3,000 feet, it is accessible only via an exhilarating 35 minute off-road journey in a 4 wheel drive. Guests have exclusive access
to a magnificent native wilderness boasting native flora and fauna in a sub-alpine forest. The beautiful Ripia River runs through this stunning terrain.

Simply the finest, authentic Māori experience available anywhere.
