Te Tahawai Marae

Community use

Te Tahawai Marae is a pan-tribal marae. It allows maori belonging to iwi from outside of Auckland to gather in a place where maori traditions are valued and upheld. It is a place where Maori gather to be Maori as they celebrate important events or grieve the passing of loved ones.

Community, sporting, corporate, Maori and non-Maori organizations, may use the facility as a meeting place.

Non-maori groups, of all cultures, who wish to experience maori customs and traditions first hand, may visit this beautifully carved and decorated marae on arrangement.
