Marae Bookings

Nau mai haere mai

The primary use of Okorihi Marae is to enable and advance the cultural well-being of our hapū, Ngāti Ueoneone.  

Our marae is now available for hire by visitors, the community, and our hapū to embrace whānau and visitors to the region.

Okorihi Marae is a non-profit organisation and receives no regular income, therefore we ask all users of our whare to pay actual use costs to ensure that we can continue to provide our beautiful facilities to one and all. Please note that Tangihanga takes precedence over all bookings.
