Pipitea Marae, Venue, Wellington, New Zealand

Welcome to Pipitea Marae

A home away from home

Te Kāinga is the Pipitea Marae - a home away from home. Wellington’s traditional urban marae is in the heart of the city and at the heart of our culture.

Pipitea Marae was built in the early 1980s to meet the needs of the urban Māori population of Wellington and where traditional kawa and protocol are observed. In 2009, the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust and the Ngati Poneke Māori Association Inc created a partnership where they offer the Marae to be used and embraced by all. Pipitea Marae continues to signify a place for people of all iwi and races to meet.
