The gifted name for our space by Ngāti Whātua Orākei

Te Waha, an iconic space overlooking the harbour and Waitākere Ranges, breathes conservation and culinary artistry. It stands as the mouthpiece of cultural exchange, where food, ideas, and conservation efforts are shared.

Much like a mouth expressing stories through its voice, Te Waha amplifies the narratives of harmony between the vibrant surroundings and the cultural essence embedded within.
