Motairehe Marae

Ngatiwai Ki Aotea are a hapu, of the Ngatiwai iwi (tribe) based around the coast from Great Barrier Island to the Bay of Islands. Today, we number over 5,000 people who are scattered throughout the world, however our home-fires are centered around the Motairehe Marae, which is situated on a stunning island in the Gulf a mere 25 minutes by plane from the central business district of Auckland, or a 4 hour boat trip, taking in the breath taking views of the Gulf
As such, every member of the Ngatiwai Ki Aotea can trace their whakapapa back to Ngati Manain one of the oldest lineages in Taitokerau.
