Te Kooraha Marae

Nestled within a secluded valley at the southern tip of Kaawhia harbour, lies a place of profound significance and ancestral ties—a testament to the enduring heritage of the mana whenua, the indigenous people of the land.

Te Kooraha Marae embodies a spirit, a vitality, a sanctified domain where the breeze purifies, the dark sands echo ancestral stories, and the community embraces the role of guardianship. It stands as a sanctuary where age-old wisdom merges with modern existence, leaving an indelible mark on all who pass through its gates.
