Maori Culture

Māori are the tangata whenua (indigenous people of the land) of New Zealand and their culture is an integral part of Ohope Beach.
The local Maori people delight in sharing their heritage with visitors and will enrich your experience wherever you go. Encounter the warmth, proud spirit, deep sense of history and quick humour that is this culture. Enjoy the legendary hospitality our people are renowned for. Meet the house. Meet the people.
