My dad Pahe Kahika was a part of Rangiata hosting. Mum and my sister also worked there. It was always an awesome place to visit. I stayed there in 1979 when I had my eldest son In New Plymouth. I also had the pleasure on a few occasions of going back and looking through the hostel after dad's passing. Last year 2022 was the last time I visited there. After my grandson college was playing rugby there. For me it holds a lot of memories of mum dad and my time there.

Buddy Pahe Kahika was my second eldest brother who passed away at the hostel, he lived at the hostel. Memories go back to the day when my whanau went to bless the place after his burial.
