Accommodation & Information

Tupoho Trust is the legal entity and administrative arm of Te Runanga o Tupoho. On 11th day of September 1991, Tupoho Whānau Trust was incorporated and established under the Charitable Trusts Act to act as a recognised Māori Authority under the mantle of Ngā Hapū ō Tupoho.

Tupoho services the 10 marae and 16 hapū from the lower reaches of Te Awa Tupua through to Tangaroa. These marae and hapū have representatives that form Te Runanga o Tupoho who have an overarching mission of ‘bringing together the strengths of ngā hapū ō Tupoho’, “Whakapumautia te mana ō ngā hapū ō Tupoho”.  Their vision is to promote a Te Runanga ō Tupoho culture based upon a knowledge of a shared heritage and an understanding and celebration of cultural distinctiveness. They also act as a collective unified force for the health and well being of ngā hapū ō Te Awa Tupua o Whanganui.
