Onuku Marae
Ōnuku Marae is the marae of Ōnuku Rūnanga, one of the five Papatipu Rūnanga of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu located on Horomaka. The takiwā of Ōnuku Rūnanga centres on Ōnuku and the hills and coasts of Akaroa it adjoins Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata and Wairewa Rūnanga.
Today the marae is booked for use for eight to nine months of the year. Its peaceful location and idyllic surroundings away from the city make it ideal for meetings and conferences. Every second weekend the marae is reserved for the use of Ōnuku whānau.
The small, simple church at Onuku, across the road from the marae, is one of the country's most beautifully sited historic buildings.
Ōnuku Marae is a five kilometre meandering drive from the Akaroa township towards the heads of Akaroa Harbour. |
