Tauwhara marae is in the heart of Waimate North near the Mission House. The main hapū associated with Tauwhara are Te Whiu, Ngāti Hineira, Ngāti Rēhia, Whanautara and Ngāi Tawake ki te Tuawhenua of the Ngāpuhi iwi; descendants trace their ancestry to the ancient waka named Mataatua and Matahourua.
The wharenui is Te Rangiawhiowhio, and there is a kohanga reo on site. Tauwhara marae connects to the maunga named Whakataha, the pā Okuratope and to the Waitangi River.
