Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kāhui Maru,
Te Iwi o Maruwharanui
Located in Taranaki, within the natural flora and fauna of Tarata and adjacent to the shimmering hue of the Te Awaroa River, is a marae the local iwi (Ngāti Maruwharanui) call Te Upoko o te Whenua.
Akin to the Ngāti Maruwharanui iwi, the marae has, over a generation, become the foundation of many whānau — most of whom have partaken in the development of what it stands for today: “A place we can all call home”.
