Pōhatukura is the name of the Ngarimu whānau homestead in Ruatōrea. This grand homestead boasts elevated views of Hikurangi and their water tank is adorned with a striking mural, by artist MrGhoeteart, of their koroua Hamuera Ngarimu. Te Moana Nui a Kiwa Ngarimu VC grew up at Pōhatukura before serving in World War II, alongside many of his whanaunga. This kāinga is much like a museum filled with taonga that showcase their proud history. Five generations of the Ngarimu whānau have lived in this home since it was built by Hamuera more than 100 years ago.
