Te Matau-a-Māui (Separation Point)

Te Matau-a-Māui (“the hook”) is the easternmost point of Golden Bay and the western tip of Tasman Bay.

A pā, kāinga and fishing complex occupied much of the peninsula at Te Matau-a-Māui and this is the burial place of the rangatira Tūtepourangi (he rangatira mana nui).

It has added significance for Ngāti Apa (and Ngāti Kuia) because it was the western boundary of the tuku of Tūtepourangi.
