The primary hapu for this marae are Ngāti Kuri and Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura of Ngāi Tahu. Address: 1137 State Highway 1 Kaikōura Canterbury 7371 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NgaUriKiMangamaunu The marae was gifted by the elders of Kaikōura for a church reserve in 1890, and the St. Francis Church was subsequently opened there. The wharenui, Hohepa, was opened in 1915; it was named after a Māori acolyte (Hohepa) who brought Catholicism to the Kaikōura Māori. The Mangamaunu area is extremely significant to Ngāti Kuri. It was once known as Kaiwhare, or ‘food bowl’, because of its bountiful supply of kai from both the land and the sea.
