Tūpuna Remedies is a Motueka‑based, ACC‑registered provider of Rongoā Māori healing grounded in tikanga Māori, te reo Māori, and mātauranga Māori.

We are located in the heart of Motueka. Our small café is more than just a place to eat, it is an extension of our whānau home. We serve kai and kawhe made with love, featuring all-day parakuihi, a Village Bagel menu, fresh smoothies, lunch options, quality coffee, and a range of cabinet goodies.

Located near the foothills of Tū Ao Wharepapa and Pukeone in the Motueka Valley, ‘Ngahere Magic’ embraces tikanga and kaupapa that conscientiously connects us to te Taiao and te Ao Māori to deliver Rongoā Māori products that are both affordable and beautiful.

Contemporary Māori Art representing a journey of reconnection

I’m a multidimensional artist based in Motueka. I create art in every situation/space I’m in.

Native Arts Aotearoa is the creative venture of renown Ngāti Pāoa carver Ronald Petley. His passion for whakairo is matched only by his commitment to cultural preservation. Each carving tells a story—of ancestors, whenua, and wairua—crafted with precision and guided by tikanga Māori.

Tūpuna inspired natural remedies offering healing with te taiao. Proudly whānau Māori owned and created with tīkanga and aroha.

Art, illustration and writing with a specialisation in pukapuka tamariki.

HKKAR Wānanga work with whānau, in particular rangatahi building their confidence, learning how to keep themselves well, teaching them how they can contribute to their families and communities, connecting them to the environment and to their kai and building self-resilience when they come up against challenges outside of their comfort zone.

We are based in Kaiteriteri and run cultural waka experiences along the Abel Tasman coastline to Toka Ngāwha (Split Apple Rock).

Mai Kreationz is the creative vision of Toya Maikuku, a proud Māori wahine of Waikato/Tainui descent who now lives in Motueka. What began as a personal journey making gifts for whānau has evolved into a flourishing business that celebrates Māori identity and creativity.

Taonga Tuku Iho located in the heart of Motueka, is a unique art gallery space celebrating the richness of Māori culture and creativity in Te Tau Ihu (top of the South Island of New Zealand). Its name, meaning “treasures handed down,” reflects a deep respect for whakapapa, tradition, and artistic innovation.

My mahi is a way to connect to my Māoritanga and develop my creative energy.
