About

About The Host

Kohutapu Lodge and Tribal Tours is the vision of Nadine and Karl ToeToe, a Māori couple whose deep connection to their ancestral lands has shaped their journey in tourism.  They envisioned a business that would share the untold beauty of their tribal lands, focusing not on luxury or grandeur but on the richness of authentic Māori life. Their goal was to provide a transformative, immersive experience where visitors not only learn about Māori culture but also contribute positively to the community and environment.
