Onawe

Note that Onawe Peninsula is private land. Any trampers interested in walking on this sacred land must first contact the Heritage Officer, Pere Tainui at Onuku Marae 03-304-7607 (best contacted during business hours) or Onuku's Christchurch Administration office 03-366-4379. Permission to visit Onawe is based on the decision of the local Runanga and Ngai Tahu iwi.  The intention is to protect the sacred site of Onawe and to provide potential trampers and tourists with accurate historic information so they may understand the importance of this site to the local whanau (people).
