Incredible energy & enthusiasm from mostly young performers. With self effacing humour & gentle engagement they coaxed most of us into trying the traditional skills. Loved the action songs & how the intimate venue provided an “in your face “experience.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Well worth the visit ♥️ an amazing cultural experience. Beautiful photos. Friendly people. Loved my visit 🎉🥰

Great presentation and fun learning experience about the Māori culture. Excellent food and good opportunity to mix with tourists from other parts of the globe. An experience not to be missed.

This is the ultimate New Zealand experience. We are only half way through our time here and I can’t think of anything that will beat this. The performances were enchanting, the hanji; delicious. It was just a perfect night.

Had a lovely evening getting to learn and participate in Māori culture. The family was kind and had beauuuuutiful voices. If you have sensory sensitivities to sound I’d recommend bringing your loops/ear plugs, the sound really fills the space during their performance. It’s a magnificent and powerful sound. The dinner was delicious!

Fantastic place to visit a must do if you are in Wellington and its free!!! This place has everything you need if you want to know the history of New Zealand and great interactive place for adults and children

I was there 2 weeks ago with my family. The village is located in a beautiful forest and the people are friendly with a maori cocktail through different stations of their culture, but I felt very disappointed by how expensive it was (in money and time… 4 Hours with kids). I expected much more, because the performances were pretty similar to other Maori shows. I saw shows of the same quality at the Whaitangi Treaty Grounds in Northland. The most dissapointing part was the dinner: slow service, shared plates, very little about maori food and nothing special just western music.

A wonderful experience. Very informative and entertaining. Well run and enjoyed by the entire family. The meal is great and the whole evening is brilliant

The experience consists of three parts: 4 cultural presentations, 1 dance and singing show, dinner. I rate the cultural presentations at 4-5 stars, the show at emphatic 5 stars and the dinner at 2 stars. I also subtract points for value - for 260NZD per person the food was not up to that price level and it was scarce. With growing teenagers we walked away genuinely hungry. Overall it was a good experience, culturally great, but considering how much we paid, you are likely to find better value elsewhere.

Great cultural experience. Picked up from the gathering place in Rotorua and taken by bus to the village. The welcoming ceremony was spectacular to watch and throughout the evening all of the family members were very friendly and generous with their words of welcome. The food was good but overall the experience was a little bit pricey.

Must do in Rotorua. We booked this online and we are definitely impressed with the performance , learning and the overall Māori culture and experience. We are a family with 2 teens and all of us enjoyed it so much . They also served dinner and the food is awesome. We stayed in Novotel and they will send a bus to pick us up and send us back to the hotel . It’s a 5 hours full of fun, laughter, entertainment, learning about the New Zealand Māori history and culture. You should not miss this !

A wonderful evening of discovery. We learned a lot about the culture and history of this beautiful country experienced dance, music and song and ate like kings. It felt like being invited into friends home and being given the best entertainment and hospitality. Thank you. We felt that we left as firm friends.

#evening was nice and final show especially. Food was tasty and atmosphere relax. Disappointment was, there wasn't Maori product Shop. It should be Best way support Maori arts and handworks.

We had a fantastic evening here. From the Welcome Haka to the Hangi feast. Would thoroughly recommend. Very enjoyable.

This is not cheap but it is well worth doing if you can afford it. To hear about and experience the Māori culture first hand is something to enjoy and savour. It was not just about listening and watching but also participating. Such fun. It was serious in parts and hilarious in others. The haka, the dancing, the hangi and being part of the Māori community for an evening was just amazing.
