Tukaki, the beautifully carved meeting house at Te Kaha – Tim de Jong
Te Kaha (to stand firm). Named after withstanding many sieges by invading tribes.  At  Te Kaha Tukaki, a beautifully carved meeting house and the remains of old fortification can be seen.  An early whaling settlement, farming increased as whale numbers dwindled.  In more recent years Te Kaha’s ideal climate has lead to many kiwifruit orchards being established.  A popular vacation area being situated on a headland and surround by glorious bays. Fishing along the coast is very popular.
On the right is Copenhagen Road where you will find the Beautiful Tui Lodge, superior accommodation and a little further on the Maungaroa Scenic Drive, which provides fine panoramic views of the coastline and magnificent bush scenery.

Maraetai Bay also known as School House Bay, is a safe, sandy sheltered beach for swimming or laz'n and there is a public toilet. The Resource Recovery Centre for refuse disposal is on Copenhagen Road, which you can access from just past School House Bay.
On the left 3km from School House Bay is the Maungaroa Marae with a whale boat on display.  This is the historic “Greyhound” that in 1993 was returned to the coast from Gisborne Museum. The ruins of its boat shed can be seen on the beach below the marae.  Further on, by the roadside between two lovely pohutukawa trees, is buried Princess Te Rangi Pai and her husband John Howie. The grave is marked with a guardian angel headstone, one of the wings of which was damaged during the Wahine storm of 1968 (the stone has since been repaired). The Howies lived for many years in their home “Kopuakoeaea” at Maungaroa.  Mrs Howie was a great celebrity and a famous New Zealand singer who performed before royalty.
