Te hui Ahurei o Matariki

Matariki is here — and Nathan Homestead is the place to be.

Gather the whānau and head to the historic Nathan Homestead this Matariki public holiday for Te Hui Ahurei o Matariki — a full day celebration packed with live music, kai, markets, toi Māori, and performance for all ages.

Immerse yourself in Māori creativity with taonga puoro, weavers, carvers, romiromi massage, Māori market stalls, food trucks, and a special arts programme with Matariki and whakapapa at its heart. There's something for every member of the family, from the tiniest tamariki to the oldest kaumātua.

Come celebrate the Māori New Year the way it deserves to be celebrated — together.
