Visit a significant defensive military redoubt and the site of the last major battle of the NZ Land Wars. Conflict over land ownership, sovereignity and interpretations of the Treaty of Waitangi resulted in a series of battles. Imagine the fort’s intricate hidden passageways designed by Maori visionary and warrior Te Kooti. There are information plaques describing the building techniques and facts about what happened. There are also fabulous views of Mount Tongariro as you absorb the events of over a century ago.

What do you think about “Te Porere Redoubt”?
Maori defenders did a great job moving all the earth and soil to create palisades, dugouts for cover and a place to rest.
Defend our land and put a stop to the taking of Maori land and its settlements.
