Lonely Planet review for Tamaki Maori Village

Maori culture is a major drawcard in Rotorua and, although some find it heavily commercialised, it’s a great opportunity to learn more about the indigenous culture of NZ. The two big activities are concerts and hangi meals, often packaged together in an evening’s entertainment that features the famous hongi, haka, and poi dances.

An established favourite is Tamaki Maori Village, which does an excellent twilight tour to a marae (meeting house) and Maori village 15km south of Rotorua. Buses collect from the Hinemaru St booking office and also from most accommodation, and feature a briefing on marae protocol by a Maori ‘entertainer’ (aka hilarious bus driver). The concert is followed by a meat-heavy hangi.

    A cosy place for hungry travellers

    eeker recommends this,

    The prices are reasonable and the food is hearty. While I can only vouch for the pizza and coffee personally, pretty much everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked good. The staff are super friendly and the whole place has a feel that's kind of comfortable and cosy. Families should feel at ease in the relaxed bustle.

    I'd go back again.
