Matariki is a time for looking back and being thankful to the gods of the land, forest and sea for the provisions of the past harvest that would sustain the people through the colder months.

With the pātaka / food storehouses full, there was no planting, food gathering, fishing or eeling left to do, so Matariki became a mostly indoor occasion.

The old-time Matariki was a time for feasting and sharing the harvest bounty with family and friends.

so secure dates for your Matariki feast weather its a selection of kiwi classics, asian banquet or a night of arabesque delights, book now 10% deposit to secure your date, limited dates available.
