Iwi wrestle with renovating Dawson Falls Lodge

From Morning Report, 8:51 am on 8 September 2020

A South Taranaki iwi is wrestling with a nice to have problem - how to spend $3 million in government funding.

The money will allow Ngāruahine to fast-track an upgrade of the Dawson Falls Lodge on Mt Taranaki.

But here's the rub, it wants to find a way to blend the Swiss Alpine style which the lodge is famous for with the iwi's cultural narrative.

Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin has the story.
