I had high expectations when I made a booking for this because my experience at Tamaki Village in Rotorua was exceptional. However, I was left somewhat disappointed. Firstly, it was difficult to find because signage is not clear and we were left waiting for over 45mins in the wrong carpark. Sure, this was partly our fault... but we did make... More

We left slightly disappointed. Six of us, ie, my children, wife and in-laws, felt that the show's story didn't come across well. The huts and props were welcome but too empty and simple. The dinner was mediocre, but the haka was enjoyable. Overall, we felt the experience was below what we expected.

I have my wife to thank for 'dragging' me along to this show - it was great! The costume & make-up, the sets, the story, the actors, and the... More

We were collected and taken to the Tamaki Heritage Village by bus, entertained by Mike all the way. On arrival we were greeted in Maori then in English. We saw arts and crafts taking place and engaged with the maori people asking questions and seeing how they lived before colonisation. Then suddenly the atmosphere changed and we were in the... More
