About the Business
Welcome to Nga Kete Wananga Marae, a unique institution located at 53 Otara Road in Auckland, New Zealand. Established in 1999, Nga Kete Wananga serves as a valuable resource for students, staff, and the wider community.
This impressive establishment encompasses a range of facilities, including a wharenui (Te Kete Uruuru Matua), a wharekai (Tahua Roa), classrooms, and offices. From an aerial perspective, the complex has been thoughtfully designed to resemble a matau, a traditional Maori hook, symbolizing its mission to "hook" people into education.
At the heart of the Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT), Nga Kete Wananga Marae acts as a unifying force, connecting individuals from diverse backgrounds and fostering a sense of community. It proudly showcases Mātauranga Māori, the traditional Maori knowledge system, as the central hub for all things Māori within the institute.
As a central hub for both campus and community life, the marae hosts a wide range of events, including noho marae (overnight stays), workshops, lectures, wānanga (gatherings for learning and discussion), and social gatherings. These activities not only enrich the educational experience but also provide opportunities for cultural immersion and understanding.
Nga Kete Wananga Marae is an integral part of Te Pūkenga - New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, emphasizing its commitment to providing quality education and promoting cultural diversity. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the marae, its facilities, and the range of educational and cultural opportunities it offers. Join us in our mission to empower individuals through education and celebrate the rich heritage of Māori culture.

Reviews
"An amazing site full of language, culture, history and stories"
"Beautiful and breathing taking. Excellent communication and service"
"Heated floors in the bathrooms, heated floors in the whare nui. Great classroom space. Great place to enjoy a noho Marae."
"Awesome place! We had our Te Ara Reo noho there - about 150 students came together to learn, share & appreciate Maori culture. Very clean & practical being an educational facility means everything met our needs. Love this place!"
