Ōtaki

Otaki lies along the Ōtaki River, with the foothills of the Tararua Range rising inland and the Kāpiti Coast stretching west towards the Tasman Sea. The town has a strong Māori presence and is home to Te Wānanga o Raukawa, a Māori tertiary institution established in 1981. Rangiātea Church is another important local landmark: the present building was reconstructed after the 19th-century church was destroyed by fire in 1995. Otaki also serves as a practical base for reaching river country, coastal beaches and routes into the Tararua ranges.
