Matahiwi Marae Visit

Before me, Matahiwi whare nui captures your attention, surrounded by carvings,rivers and beautiful orchards, many iwi and whanau come to visit.  The carvings seemed to tell you stories as you see every groove and movement, bursting out of many carvings.  As Tom greets us with Maori legends I think of those people, ancestors of Maui. 
"I would like to carve like this", I said. I would like to come back one day and see if anything has changed".
