toko...this is a special place for my dad...where he was born and raised...he was bought up with his 12 siblings in the now backpackers house...then they moved down to waima where his younger brother still lives.......
Man...went back a couple of years ago...got in at about 7am and the locals don't even know who you are but wave while their on their morning walk. The shop opens about 9ish...closes about 4ish...the pub is right on the beach front...the horses graze past the front window of our whare and the kids follow on their one skate board...one crying for a turn the other laughing cos he has it!!
this place is one paradise on the east coast of NZ that always calls for our wairua to return!! Waima!!
@MrJadeDoel Thank you sooo much! :) <3 I'm so jealous that you live in a paradice like that! What are the people like in New Zealand? I heard that they are very polite and laid back... Is that true? In general I mean :-D

mean photo montage. beautiful vocals of miss maisey. you have the ability to connect people on a level that moves the heart. beautiful girl - wow. what's the name of this track anyways?
Brought up in Opotiki and East Cape, Runaway and Tokomaru/Tolaga Bay were regular stomping grounds on many holidays. Tokomaru Bay was always the best somehow. Maisey's voice makes you just melt with pride and appreciation for a great Maori voice. Awesome and I must admit a small tear for former good times.
awesome vid and maisey just draws the beauty out of the place with that incredibly sweet voice, love it, thanks jade a real blessing and makes me mokemoke for the bay, and guess what, im living here LOL tumeke alright
kia orana jade i was at the 75th jb we stayed at matakai lounge with our beautiful fams although we are not maori's we are from the beautiful island of mauke and are direct secendants of paikea it was an awesome time tokomaru bay is a split image of mauke from itts beaches to its homes. love it and well done on the vid
kia ora Jade, i would have to agree 'cause went there yrs ago and we came across from Maungaroa, and luv'd every second we stayed @ the marae across from the beach. I miss the coast when i see these pics, thank u very tah.
Your an inspiration to our people,we all have a natural talent.You have a voice that will heal our peoples wounds and hurts.Sound is magic its a healer.
Hi Jade, I dont know if you remeber me but my sister and i grew up with you in Tokomaru Bay. At the time (1991) my father was the community police officer in Toko Kim Ratapu. Nice to see a bit of home on youtube..nice to hear your doing well..Nga Mihi Rangikahiwa & Te Atatu Ratapu
that was beautiful Jade..my family and i are from takitumu in the cook islands..we come to tokomaru's marae across from the beach sometime early this year for the 75th jubilee..etc it was absolutely beautiful and so many people from the cook islands and all over new zealand joined our family gathering there!
Awesome. Great to see thanks Jade. I was born here (actually in Te Puia Springs) but moved to canterbury not long after. Will be back for a visit soon!
amazing photos e hoa, tauke ruataupare kia ora koutou
