Important Notice

Otamatea marae is open for bookings and hui. Please observe all guidelines under the COVID 19 Protection Framework issues by the government while you are on the marae property.  To help protect our kaumatua and kuia, we ask you to stay away from the marae if you or your whānau members are unwell.  All bookings are to be made through emailing: otamateamaraetrustees@gmail.com.  Our cultural and customary duty is for priority to be given to tangihanga.  Should your booking be postponed due to a tangihanga we will do our best to find another suitable date or an alternative venue at another marae in our area.

Welcome

Tēnā koutou katoa. Nau mai haere mai ki te whārangi ipurangi o Otamatea Marae o Ngāti Whātua ki Tānoa i te rohe o Otamatea.

Welcome to the website for Otamatea Marae of the Ngāti Whātua tribe.  Ngāti Whātua’s tribal area stretches from the Tāmaki River in the south, to Maunganui Bluff on the west coast in the north, and to Whangarei Harbour on the east coast.

We are located at Tānoa near Maungatūroto in the former historical district of Otamatea.

Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
