Hone Tuwhare is widely regarded as one of New Zealand’s most accomplished and treasured poets.
The Hone Tuwhare Charitable Trust was established to purchase and restore Hone Tuwhare’s crib, develop resources for schools and initiate events throughout Aotearoa that celebrate Hone and his contribution to the Arts.

Our kaupapa:
“To inspire people through the preservation, promotion and celebration of Hone’s legacy”
Trust objectives:
- To purchase and restore Hone Tuwhare’s crib at Kaka Point, South Otago, for use as a creative residency — the first to be established in the home of a Maori writer.
- To support the development of resources for schools and kura kaupapa Maori, in English and Maori, covering poetry, writing, self-expression and Hone’s life and work.
- To initiate events that celebrate Hone’s contribution to the arts in Aotearoa New Zealand.
While the writers’ residence will be located in South Otago, the trust will have a nationwide focus.
