PREMIERE: The Ponga Whānau Homestead is situated at Parinui on the Whanganui River and the only access to this whare is via jet boat on the awa tupua. A 24km jet boat ride up the river, flanked by lofty cliffs, and a 3km uphill hīkoi from the river bank, this homestead is the most remote of the series.
