This study used semi-structured interviews of 15 participants to determine emerging themes around the meaning of ‘home’ for three different generations of Māori living in different geographical locations, and how these meanings shape or influence the perception of ‘how to be well at home’. The study identified that ‘home’ is more than a spatial or physical notion. It found there are a range of holistically connected aspects that need to be considered if effective and sustainable solutions around Māori being ‘at home’ are to be delivered. The research provides initial foundations to better address Māori housing and wellbeing needs.
