A cultural hub and marae at 65/73 Premier Avenue in Point Chevalier, Auckland, about 15 minutes from the CBD. A driveway leads from the suburban streets to a large open field, with native bush and a stream nearby. The marae was founded in 1969 by descendants from Waimā Tuhirangi in the Hokianga, and it is a gathering place for Ngāpuhi and the wider community.
The hub has three spaces: the main whare, Te Māhurehure Cultural Centre, the learning centre Te Taumata o Kupe, and the Kapene Alan King Administration Studio, which suits meetings and workshops. The main hall holds up to 250 seated for dining or 350 in theatre style, with a stage, commercial kitchens, bathrooms and showers, and an outdoor deck. The marae hosts whānau gatherings, hui, business functions, birthdays, weddings and tangihanga. Large groups such as schools, sports teams and kapa haka crews can stay overnight with mattresses provided and staff on site. Parking is plentiful, including for large vehicles and vans, and there is an on-site coffee caravan.
