Whare Maumahara 

Ko te taiwhanga tuatoru he Whare Maumahara huritao mō ngā manuhiri, ngā uri me ngā whānau. Kī tonu a waenganui o te rūma i tētahi taonga toi rākau nui  (Te Rau Aroha) he mea hanga ki ngā pīhi mano tini o te rākau tawai mai i Te Waipounamu me te kauri repo mai i Te Hiku o Te Ika. E kaokaongia nei tēnei toi tārai e ngā atahanga o ngā hōia nō Kamupene A me te tino mano o ngā ingoa o ērā hōia i mahi i Te Ope Taua Māori Tuatahi me Te Hokowhitu-a-Tū i ngā Pakanga o Te Ao e rua.

Ko tā Te Whare Taonga Te Rau Aroha o te Utu o te Kiriraraunga he āta whakamārama i te utu tino nui ki te Māori o te nanaiore ki te whiwhi ōritenga hei kirirarau i roto i tō rātou ake whenua, ā, me ōna pānga tonu ki te maha o ngā hapori i tēnei rā tonu. Ka tuku te whare taonga kia huritaona e ngā manuhiri katoa te 'utu ki te kiriraraunga' i roto i ō rātou ao me ō rātou āhuatanga.
