Potaka is the most northerly of Ngāti Porou communities and is the start of the Ngāti Porou tribal area. Here there is a school, a marae and a road to the left runs down to Lottin Point where you will find Lottin Point Motel.
For the local people of the land – Hapu, Tapaeururangi from Potaka, Lottin Point is known as ‘Whakatiri’. This special place is also the point in Aotearoa closest to the Continental Shelf (the deep part of the world’s ocean), hence why there is an abundance of fish life surrounding the area.
Built on decades of hard work and vision, we strive to meet the hospitality standards that have been set over the years, providing you with a comfortable and peaceful stay in our beautiful, remote part of Aotearoa.
