Murray Downie Flyfishing

Experience What We Live For!  Whirinaki forest holidays are our passion.

Trout fishing at its best with local guide Dan Comer, along some of the region's most pristine waterways.

The Mataatua waka first landed at Te Toka Tapu, which is sited opposite Turuturu Roimata (Statue Rock) at the Whakatāne river mouth. 

Muriwai is a loved and honoured ancestress of the Mataatua tribes whose mana has endured down the centuries.

Eco-Tours And Kiwi Bird Experiences. Let our kaiārahi (local guide) transport you through the Ōmataroa forest lands, and guide you on a journey of manaakitanga (care) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) of the kiwi.

Everyone welcome, from first-time anglers to experienced fishermen. Because a day fishing is never a day wasted!

Te Toka o Irakewa is one of three landmarks that Toroa was told to look for by his father Irakewa when the Mataatua canoe journeyed to Kakahoroa. 

Kaputerangi or Toi's Pā is of major historical significance and is part of the Kohi Point Scenic Reserve.
