te Whare - Lake Tarawera offers two visitor accommodation choices: "whare Aroha", a tree-top nest perched high above the towering Mamaku tree ferns with spectacular views over Lake Tarawera to the dormant volcano; and the newly completed “whare Manaaki” designed and hand-built to acknowledge the wairua (spirit) and taiao (nature) of this nationally significant historic landscape .As a New Zealand registered architect (Architecture Aotearoa), the focus as your host is to provide you with the opportunity to experience an architecture that deeply respects the land. te Whare – Lake Tarawera features sustainable and indigenous design principles, offering guests a truly immersive and unforgettable experience. Expansive views bring the dramatic textures of the lake and the volcano directly into the living and sleeping spaces of both eco-suites.
