Te Pā Tū - New Zealand

Nau mai, haere mai. Welcome to Te Pā Tu. Kō te pā tū, he tohu nō te ora. An elevated sanctuary, a symbol of wellbeing. Pā sit at the epicentre of our communities.
(1050)

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. 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 st

rengthen 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.

We’re humbled to share that Te Pā Tū has been named ‘Cultural Destination, Australasia’ at the 2025 World Luxury Travel Awards, held in Singapore on the 31st October.

This acknowledgement recognises our ongoing commitment to sharing authentic Māori culture with visitors from around the world and it’s one we could not have achieved without the support, trust, and belief of our partners.

Our Head of Tourism, Kiri Atkinson Crean, and Operations Manager, Ren West, proudly accepted the award alongside Tourism New Zealand’s Singapore Trade & Partnership team, Tse Wei Ma and Theresa Goh.

While we are deeply honoured by this recognition, it truly reflects the collective effort across our tourism whānau. From those who share our story internationally to the hosts and performers who bring Te Pā Tū to life each evening here in Rotorua.

From all of us at Te Pā Tū and the Tauhara North No. 2 Tourism whānau — thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us carry our culture proudly to the world.
