Project Wharekai

 

Te Kauri Marae Refurbishment

After many, many years of stewing, roasting, cups of teas and milos, boil ups, hangi, tangihanga, weddings, birthdays, wananga, teatowel fights, arguments over who is drying, burnt toasts, blunt knifes, debates over dinner menus and lumpy porridge sagas, our kitchen has grown tired and in need of love.

The process has well and truly began to refurbish and modernise our little wharekai to handle a whole lot more lifetimes of the above memories

Below is a break down of our progress to date, made easy so everyone can feel a part of this exciting development.
