Ngamatea

Ngamatea is a rural community, in the northeastern part of Rangitikei District, in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's North Island. The rest of the Rangitikei District is located in the Manawatū-Whanganui region.

Ngamatea has been farmed by Europeans since the 1870s. Ngamatea is far away from many of the comforts of modern civilisation.

The area includes Ngamatea Station, a 70,000 hectare high country sheep and beef station, with areas for free-range sika deer hunting and trout fishing. It is one of the most vast and remote stations in New Zealand.
