We had the privilege of staying at Te Urewera Treks luxury Bush Camp in October. The stay started with a Whakatau (greeting) from Hinewais team. The Whakatau includes a Maori welcoming mihi, then a relaxed sit down for a refreshing drink and some kai. We stayed down in Whare Kahikatea which is right beside the stream. So lovely to go to sleep (and wake) to the babble of the stream. The following morning we planted some native trees and then took a walk to the Whirinaki forest which included a waterfall. Interesting to note some of the native vegetation. We live three hours away from Te Urewera and some of the vegetation we have, is not found in the Te Urewera area (eg Kawakawa and Nikau). It was also lovely to hear the native birdsong. Hinewai is really knowledgeable about the native flora and fauna and is a great story teller who explains some of the meanings around the Maori culture which makes it really interesting. Was also nice to take her lead to just take in the beautiful surroundings in peace and quiet. Enjoyed some more delicious homemade kai for lunch before setting off for home feeling relaxed and reenergised. If youre looking for an authentic Maori experience, this could be the place for you.
