Koukourārata

Koukourārata marae is located at Port Levy on Banks Peninsula. It is home to the hapū Ngāti Huikai, Ngāi Tūtehuarewa and Ngāi Tūhaitara ki Koukourārata of Ngāi Tahu. 

The wharenui is named Tūtehuarewa and was built in 1925. The wharekai was added to the marae in 2004 and named Te Pātaka o Huikai (the storehouse of Huikai) after the ancestor Huikai. The marae connects ancestrally to the waka Makawhiu and Uruao, the moana Te Arawhānui a Makawhiu and the maunga Te Ahupātiki. 

Koukourārata also has ancestral connections to the motu Horomaka and Pukerauaruhe.
