Nau mai, haere mai

Kāo, at this stage we will only be hosting one Waitangi Wānanga. We suggest registering sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

Our day will commence at 8:45am on the Wednesday and we will be finished by 1:00pm on the Friday.

Our Waitangi Wānanga is held Te Tai Tokerau. The conference base will be the Copthorne Hotel and Resort in Paihia.

1 Tau Henare Drive, Paihia, Te Tai Tokerau

This three day wānanga is a complete experience, therefore we will not be offering single day registrations.

Āe, please book your accommodation as soon as possible.

There are plenty of options at Paihia, which is only a 2 min drive from the Waitangi Copthorne and Treaty Grounds. The Copthorne in Waitangi itself is be available to book. If you stay in Paihia and are happy to walk it would only be a 15 min walk.

You can find our recommendations for accommodation HERE.

We encourage you to bring as many members of your staff/BoT/school whānau as you like - knowledge shared is better than knowledge kept.

These wānanga are capped at 200 attendees each so best to register early to ensure your place.

Āe, dinner on the Thursday evening is included in your registration.

If flying into Kerikeri Airport:

Transfers : There are transfers available from Kerikeri Airport that you can book but if there are a few of you in your group you might find it cheaper to rent a car for the few days. It also gives you a little more flexibility in where you book your accommodation. We are hoping to have a few minivans available to us but we can’t confirm that as yet.

Flying into Tāmaki Makaurau Airport:

The other consideration is perhaps flying to Tāmaki and renting a car from there - it might be cheaper than paying for connecting flights for 3 or 4 people to Kerikeri plus airport transfers to Waitangi. It is about a 4 hour drive from Tāmaki Makaurau to Paihia; however, it is a very easy drive.

Of course, in the case where a registered person is unable to attend the Waitangi Wānanga 2025 the name on the reregistration is able to be amended. Please email kiaora@tearahouoaotearoa.org.nz with any registration changes.
