Rapide mais joli et varié
Entre terrasses de silice, sculptures maories et jardin décoré, c'est une petite balade assez variée et avec de belles choses à voir. Il faut faire aussi les hot pools (c'est une autre réservation), qui sont très agréables et très jolies.

Was very well set up and quite informative
We are Australians, so we know very little of the Māori families, their beliefs and how they lived. The walk explained, in very simple language, how some groups lived and their beliefs and customs - not super scientific - just enough to give us a very basic understanding. Specially loved the brief explanations of some of the Māori living stories.
