Ngamahanga 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.
Ngamahanga has been farmed by Europeans since the 1870s. It is one of the most vast and remote areas of New Zealand, 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.
