Te Āwhina Marae stands under the two mountains; Pukeone and Tuao Wharepapa. The Motueka river runs swiftly, bringing life and nourishment to the district.
The tribes of the region are Te Atiawa and Ngati Rarua and our meeting house is named after the ancestor Turangaapeke.
As our name indicates, Te Āwhina Marae was created as a place that openly welcomes all people to come and learn, seek shelter, find hospitality, access Hauora services, Kohanga Reo and much more.
