Visit to the Waihinui Marae in Waihi


boutique accommodation

Last night Ali & I went with other tourism operaters in our area to the Waihinui Marae in Waihi for a Marae expeience and it was such great theatre. Lots of history,ceremony, spiritualism and protocols - all in all a moving & marvellous experience.

The kapahaka group was really good  and very entertaining with everything from songs, waiatas, hakas to poi dancing and stiks. The kakhaka group had uncles & auntys brothers and sisters as well as mums and kids - a great family showing.

We look forward to being able to offer the marae visit as one of the local tourism products here in Southern Coromandel.
