Te mauri ō ngā kaitiaki Ahi Kā
Authentic Maori Cultural Experience in New Zealand
WINTER 2026
When the frost settles and the nights grow long, the fire of Te Ao Māori burns brighter than ever.
Step out of the cold and into the warmth with Te Waanau Kiitahi Hapuu and experience Ahika Haka and Hangi—an exclusive, all-weather winter cultural experience. We’ve brought the raw power of the Haka and the rich, smoky comfort of a traditional Hāngī into a premium, beautifully styled indoor setting. No heavy coats required once you're inside—just an appetite for culture, connection, and incredible food.
Experience Highlights

Authentic Hāngī Feast
A masterclass in tradition. Indulge in a hearty, slow-cooked Hāngī feast featuring melt-in-your-mouth meats and smoky root vegetables, all infused with generations of flavor and served alongside seasonal winter sides.
