Rourou Tāwara

Rourou Tāwara Translating to "the tasty basket," we are nestled in the lush native bush of Te Hoiere (Pelorus).

Surrounded by the calls of native birds, we offer a perfect stop on your road trip for coffee, kanuka tea, or wholesome kai (food).

Rā whānau ki a koe Rourou Tāwara 🎉

Time flies when you're having fun! 365 days, hundreds of hākari, and thousands of full puku later, we’re still here, still serving, and still enjoying being in the heart of Te Hoiere.

Join us this Saturday, 9 August, from 9am–3pm to celebrate. We’ll be sharing a slice of birthday cake with every coffee.

A big mihi to all who have helped bring this kaupapa to life. We can’t wait to see where year two takes us!

🎥 Kete Aronui | Gallery in Te Hoiere 🎉

Our latest video, created by our talented whanaunga Keelan Walker, captures our new gallery in Te Hoiere | Pelorus.

🌅 This space showcases taonga from our private collection and the recent museum exhibition.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Bring the tamariki!
🔍 Explore Pakohe under a microscope.
🖐 Get hands-on with a Pakohe grinding station.

✨ This gallery is a key step in growing the presence of Ngāti Kuia in Te Hoiere.

📍 Located beside Rourou Tāwara (our food truck) at the entrance to Te Wahi Tōpuni (the campground), it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.

➡️ Pop in this summer!

Ngā mihi nui, e te whānau! 💛

Special thanks to Keelan for bringing our story to life. 🙌
