Murihiku marae is located about ten minutes drive from the centre of Invercargill. It is the local marae for the iwi of Kāi Tahu, Kāti Mamoe and Waitaha.
The wharekai, Hine o te Iwi, was the first building on the site when it opened in June 1983. The wharenui, Te Rakitauneke, opened in February 1990. Murihiku connects ancestrally to the waka Uruao and Takitimu, the maunga Takitimu and the moana Te Ara a Kiwa.
