Te Kooraha

Cradled in an area at the southern end of Kaawhia harbour, nestled in a hidden valley, a land of profound significance and ancestral connection, is a special place that stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the mana whenua, the people of the land, Te Kooraha Marae.

Ko Oorangiwhao te maunga, ko Te Kooraha me Mitiwai ngaa awa, ko Te Oohaakii te wharenui, ko Te Arohanui te wharekai, ko Tuuranga te tuupuna, ko te Tahaaroa a Ruapuutahanga te rohe, ko Ngaati Mahuta ki te Hauaauru me Ngaati Rangitaka ngaa hapuu, ko Waikato te iwi, paimaarire.

Te Kooraha Marae perpetuates an essence, a mauri, a sacred realm where the wind purifies, the black sands whisper genealogical narratives, and the people embody the mantle of wardenship. It is a safe haven where ancient wisdom intertwines with contemporary life, leaving an unforgettable impression on all who traverse through the waharoa.
