Ngatea

Ngatea occupies the flat Hauraki Plains in Waikato, close to the Piako River and the Firth of Thames. This small service town stands where State Highways 2 and 27 meet, on routes linking Auckland, the Coromandel Peninsula and the Bay of Plenty. Its surroundings are defined by pasture, drainage channels and the long agricultural transformation of former Hauraki wetlands; dairy farming remains central to the plains’ economy. Ngatea is also known for the Ngatea Water Gardens, while the nearby Firth of Thames shore provides important habitat for migratory wading birds.
