Reporoa
Reporoa is a rural community in the Rotorua District and Waikato Region of New Zealand's North Island.
It is located within the Reporoa Caldera,[1] a caldera in the Taupo Volcanic Zone containing the Deer Hill, Kairuru and Pukekahu rhyolitic lava domes and the active Reporoa geothermal field.[2][3] Several hydrothermal explosions have occurred in the area, with a large one being recorded in 1948, and another large one occurring in a cow paddock in April 2005.[4]
Reporoa has four Ngāti Tahu - Ngāti Whaoa marae. Mataarae Marae and meeting house is a meeting place of Ngāti Mataarae and Ngāti Whaoa. Ōhākī Marae and Tahumatua meeting house is a meeting place of Ngāti Tahu. Te Toke Marae and Te Rama meeting house is a meeting place of Ngāti Te Rama and Ngāti Whaoa. Waimahana or Marapounamu Marae and Rahurahu meeting house is a meeting place for Ngāti Rahurahu.[5][6]
