Bringing whānau home to live and thrive on their tūrangawaewae.

Pikitū Pā stands as the heart of Ngāti Huri hapū in Te Wāotū.

Just 4 kilometres east of the Waikato River and 24 kilometres from both Putāruru (northeast) and Tōkoroa (southeast). Proudly upheld by Ngāti Huri, the marae is a sanctuary for its descendants, nurturing a deep connection between people and the land.

Rich in history and steeped in whakapapa, Pikitū has always carried the vision of bringing whānau home to their tūrangawaewae, creating opportunities to live here in a way that is both connected and economically sustainable.

Their role is to manage and protect the land and its assets for the benefit of current and future generations, ensuring it is used in a way that supports the wellbeing of whānau.

Pikitū Marae Trustees & Pikitū Marae Reservation Trust are registered as a charity with NZ Charity Services. Registration Number CC45421.
