We love our marae, its views of the oRuawharo river are amazing. It has views across to Port Albert and opens up into the magical Kaipara Harbour.

We love our marae, it is busy, bustling and well utilised by many groups ranging from forestry groups, Pacific Island groups, schools, kura, government agencies, whanau, hapu and iwi to name a few. It gets a thrashing, it hosts large crowds, it hosts wanaanga, weddings, tangi, hui, and the list goes on.

We love our marae, so much that we applied to Marae DIY and were successful! We are screened to start filming in March 2019 and we are now seeking financial support so we can do the revamp and refresh of the marae. Please help us to achieve our financial goal of upgrading the kitchen, building a garden and becoming a eco friendly marae for the betterment of all people.
