Rangiwahia is a small, elevated, farming settlement in the North Island, New Zealand, 26 km (16 mi) northeast of Kimbolton in the Manawatū-Whanganui region.[1] It is in the Kiwitea valley, near the Whanahuia Range of the Ruahines.[2] Due to its height and the nearby ranges, Rangiwahia has a mean annual rainfall of 1267mm; 309mm more than Feilding's.[3]
Rangiwahia is on two of the tourist-promoting 'Country Road' drives from Feilding.[4] It has several scenic reserves, an arts centre, a church, fire station, tennis court, playground, public toilets, halls and a camp site.[5]
