Guests were invited to join us as we entered through ‘Matapā’ - on a journey into the unknown. Carefully curated by our artist in residence Benjamin Work, and chef Touvai Poloniati, this immersive experience of art and food took guests on a journey from the kingdom of Tonga to Aotearoa, through the ancient stories of our ancestors, and interpretive dishes.
