Nau Mai, Haere Mai

Te Whare Maui is the only venue of its kind in Kirikiriroa. Proudly rooted in Te Kōhao Health's kaupapa of community wellbeing and service, we warmly welcome all cultures, communities, and groups. Our space is a uniquely Māori environment, adorned with carvings, pou, and Māori artwork throughout.
Set in a private, secure location, Te Whare Maui gives your event the freedom it deserves. Our venue specializes weddings, conferences, 21st birthday celebrations, cultural competitions, fundraisers, and much more. Whatever your event, we would love to be part of it.
