Ngāti Ōtara Marae is a marae at 100 Ōtara Road in Ōtara, Auckland, and it has been a turangawaewae, a place of belonging, for whānau since 1972. It was built for the Māori whānau who live in the urban heart of Ōtara, and its purpose is to support the community, nurture culture and provide a place of healing for people of Ōtara. The site says the marae is under repair and maintenance, and that hireage is unavailable until further notice, so check before you go. The listing also links the marae to the Kōhanga Reo, a Māori-language early childhood service.
