NAU MAI, HAERE MAI
A gathering place for Māori kaupapa, community, arts
and enterprise
Ko Whakatere te maunga
Ko Waima te awa
Ko Ngapuhi te iwi
Ko Te Māhurehure te hapū
Founded in 1969, our marae was created as a home for Te Māhurehure and Ngāpuhi whānau living away from home in Tāmaki Makaurau.
Throughout the 70’s and 80’s our kaumatua worked tirelessly to fundraise, build and run this special place, and we’re dedicated to carrying on their legacy. To fulfil their greatest aspirations — in keeping our culture alive and bringing our people together. Today, our marae stands as a place of connection, a thriving cultural hub where we welcome the flocks of whānau and visitors who visit daily with open arms and aroha.
The kaupapa of Te Māhurehure Marae has always been inclusive of people from all places
Te Māhurehure has come a long way — from its humble beginnings as a dirt-floored rugby league training shed to the contemporary cultural hub it is today. It’s a place where whānau, hapū, and iwi gather to connect over important kaupapa. And a multi-purpose place available for businesses, community groups, and individuals to hire for special occasions and meaningful events.
