Mārahau is a village in the Tasman District of the South Island of New Zealand, approximately 19 kilometres (12 mi) north of Motueka. Its location on Tasman Bay and at the southern entrance of the Abel Tasman National Park makes it a popular holiday destination for those keen on outdoor activities. People access the Abel Tasman from Mārahau by tramping, kayaking and water taxi.^[3] In Mārahau itself, the beach offers sheltered and safe swimming, and horse trekking is popular throughout the busy summer season.^[4]

The Mārahau community has adopted their own flag, named Te Hau, designed by local artist Tim Wraight in 2012. The blue represents the ocean and sky, the green triangle represents Tākaka Hill, the golden sand bay is represented by the golden moon and the two stars represent the two islands, Adele and Fisherman.^[5]
