Manaia marae is located south of Coromandel township on the Coromandel Peninsula. Many hapu affiliate to this marae, including Ngāti Whanaunga and Ngāti Pūkenga ki Waiau of Hauraki. The marae is located upon land gifted from Ngāti Maru, as a gesture of gratitude for the significant assistance (particularly strong military alliances) the local people provided Ngāti Maru.
The wharenui is Te Kou o Rehua, and the wharekai is Ngairihanga. The marae ancestrally connects to the Tainui waka, the awa Teawa o Manaia and the maunga Horomanga and Hauturu.
