  Tipua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Polynesian mythology (Maori), the Tipua are a type of shapechanging demons.
Tipua could be common objects; sometimes even trees and rocks were associated as these types of evil spirits.
These places where tipua were believed to inhabit served as areas where travelers would make offerings to the spirits of the land, in the form of herbs or branches.

Buxton laid out many of the finest gardens, both public and private, in the South Island and when he expanded his Christchurch business to the North Island, he was, for the next 30 years, responsible for many of the great country station gardens in Wairarapa and on the East Coast.
It wasn’t until 1940 that the single-storey house was built, half the cost of the garden at £700, and from its site in the middle of the garden looks out on the rose beds, and the 38m-long “wisteria walk” which separates the front garden from the back where the swimming pool has been set.

A long time ago, before the Maori came to New Zealand, the patuapaiarehe lived on Ngongotaha Mountain near Rotorua.
They were a peaceful people who loved to sing and dance and their only fear was that the giant Tipua who lived in the Kaimai mountains would, one day, decide to attack them and steal their lands.
When the fateful day finally arrived and the Tipua were heard marching through the forest towards Ngongotaha, the patuapaiarehe had to rely on the cunning of their wise tohunga to cast the ultimate spell and save the lands around Rotorua.

 Nelson City Council - description of Pou Pou outside Council chambers
Local iwi take their findings from legends of Rakai-Hau-Tu (The strider and Digger) and his son Te-Raki-Houia (who circumnavigated the South Island in the canoe Uruao) reputed to be the founders of the Waitaha tribe, the first of a succession of the ancient tribes of the South Island.
A few of their direct descendants were the Kati Rakai people (Ngati-Rakai) Rapuwai, and so on, and records show that the Kahui Tipua (a race of mythological giants) were in residence prior to the arrival of Rakai-Hau-Tu and his son Te-Raki-Houia.
Certain names appear in the Waitaha version that shed light on a further ancient tribe, Ngati-Kuia, who have very strong historical links with Te-Tau-Ihu-o-Te-Waka-a-Maui (the prow of the canoe of Maui /the top of the South) mostly at Te Hoiere (the Marlborough Sounds).
