WELCOME
TO WAIROA
Nestled
along the beautiful Wairoa river, the small town of Wairoa is an undiscovered jewel. The Wairoa
Maori Film Festival 2008 is a public event planned to be held at
Taihoa Marae and theWar Memorial Hall, both located in the Wairoa
township. The Festival Award’s night will be held at the historic
Wairoa War Memorial Hall.
- Taihoa Marae, Mahia
Avenue / State
Highway 2, WAIROA
- Wairoa War Memorial Hall, Cnr. Paul St / Queen St, WAIROA
A
special screening, open to the general public, is also to be held
at Kahungunu Marae, Ihaka Street, Nuhaka, located 32 km to the northeast
of Wairoa.
GETTING
TO WAIROA
The
township
of Wairoa is one hour by car from Gisborne
and an hour and a half from Napier and Hastings. There is a small
airport in Wairoa, but it has no regular flight service. Daily flights
from Auckland and Wellington go to Gisborne
and Napier airports, with rental car services available at both
locations. For flight bookings to Gisborne, check out the Air New
Zealand website www.airnz.co.nz.
The
road from Gisborne is less difficult and skirts the Wairoa coastline
between Nuhaka and Wairoa township. The road from Napier is more
difficult, but includes a scenic journey past Lake
Tutira and
through the Mohaka gorge. Inter City Coach Services run a daily
service to Wairoa from Napier and Gisborne, with convenient connections
across the North Island
to Auckland
and Wellington.
STAYING IN WAIROA
Once
you get to Wairoa, there are a range of accommodation options available:
- Marae Accommodation booking, $20 / night at Taihoa Marae (limited
space); further Marae available for group bookings (rates on request)
