Piritahi Marae
Established in 1976, Piritahi Marae stands on the edge of Te Huruhi Bay on Waiheke Island, Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. Piritahi Marae is a taurahere marae (a living community marae). Piritahi is open to whānau of all iwi and people of all descent and ethnicities.
Located within the rohe of Ngāti Paoa and Pare Hauraki, the marae was named "Piritahi" (Together as one) by Te Arikinui Dame Te Ātairangi Kāhu, a reminder that there is strength in Kotahitanga (unity).
