RUA is the culmination of a long-held dream to reconnect our whānau here in Bluff with our Māori history—and so close a four-generation gap in our family’s story.

Why RUA? Rua means two. There are many reasons for our choice of name. Firstly, Ruapuke the island we come from, and Ruahikihiki the hapū (subtribe) we connect to. RUA at Bluff has brought me, with my husband, David, and my mother, Ann, from Auckland to Bluff – two generations and two cultures. The names we have given the studio units pay respect to the two sisters, Mereana, who we descend from, and Kitty.
