Useful Information
The town of Taihape lies near the confluence of the Hautapu and Rangitikei rivers, about 500m above sea level. Sheltered within a valley amidst the high-country of the Central North Island, Taihape is close to the Ruahine Range, on State Highway 1. It is surrounded by fertile high country ideal for sheep and deer farming and its location close to the mountains, rivers and lakes has made it an important service hub for hunting and outdoor tourism.
