Crown Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko escorted by the Hon. M. Rata and Mr W. Paki ko tēnei te marae tino rongonui o te motu, ā, ki a au nei hoki, ko tēnei te marae tino ataahua o te motu katoa. E ai ki ngā kōrero ko te īngoa nei, ko Tūrangawaewae, i heke mai i a Tāwhiao, nāna nei te kōrero, ‘Ko Arekahānara tōku hāona kaha, Ko Kemureti tōku oko horoi, Ko Ngāruawahia tōku tūrangawaewae.’ Āroha ana ēnei kupu nā te mea ko te wāhi e tū nei te marae nei i murua e te Kāwanatanga, ā, he mea āta hoko mai ano taua wāhi e te iwi o Waikato kia ea ai tā tō rātou tipuna i kī ai. I te wā hoki e tamariki ana a Tāwhiao koinei ōna wāhi haututū, ā, i tipu ake ia i ngā tahataha o te awa o Waikato. I tua atu i tērā he puna i reira i inu ai a Tāwhiao nā reira i pīrangi ai a Te Puea mā kia tū te marae nei ki Ngāruawāhia. Na te werawera o ngā rae o Te Puea me tōna iwi i tū ai te marae o Tūrangawaewae me ōna whare ataahua, arā, a Tūrongo, a Mahinārangi, a Pare Waikato, a Pare Hauraki, a Kimikimi me ētahi atu o ngā whare kai. Nā, ko te whare kai e mōhiotia nei ko Kimikimi i hikitia mai i Mangatāwhiri ki Tūrangawaewae, ā, ka whakatūria ano ki reira. No te tau 1921 i hikitia mai ai taua whare rā. I nāianei kua kitea kua tawhito haere te whare nei nā reira ka tipu ake te whakaaro i waenganui i ngā iwi o Waikato kia mahia ano he whare kai hou ēngari me waiho tonu ko Kimikimi tonu hei īngoa mo taua whare hou. Nā, i te tau kua pahemo ake nei ka tahuri ano te iwi o Waikato ki te kohi moni hei whakatū i tō the most famous marae in the country and, in my opinion, this is the most beautiful marae in the whole country. According to tradition, the name Turangawaewae came from Tawhiao whose famous words were ‘Let Alexandra be my symbol of strength of character, Let Cambridge be my wash bowl of sorrow, And let Ngaruawahia be my footstool.’ These words are tinged with sadness, for the place on which the marae now stands was formerly confiscated by the Government and the place had to be bought back by the Waikato people so that what their ancestor said could be realised. At the time that Tawhiao was a child these were the places he played in, and he grew to manhood on the banks of the Waikato. Apart from that, there was a spring at which Tawhiao had drunk and it was for this reason that Te Puea and her people wanted the marae established at Ngaruawahia. It is because of the industry of Te Puea and her people that the marae of Turangawaewae was established along with its beautiful houses Tūrongo, Mahinārangi, Pare Waikato, Pare Hauraki, Kimikimi and the other eating houses. The dining room known as Kimikimi, was shifted from Mercer to Turangawaewae and rebuilt there. This shift took place in 1921. It is now seen that this house is getting too old and because of this fact the people of Waikato decided to build a new dining room but to retain the name of Kimikimi.
