Mangorei lies under the watchful gaze of the Pouakai Range, its landscape a gentle sweep of rolling farmland that dips and rises towards the distant hum of industry. It lies 9.3 km south of New Plymouth (from New Plymouth: bearing 180°T), and is situated 14.2 km south-south-west of Bell Block. The air, often carrying a faint, salty tang from Port Taranaki eleven kilometres away, is usually mild, a testament to its coastal proximity, though the fertile ground beneath speaks of a history rooted inland. Here, the Waiwhakaiho River, a five-kilometre journey from the heart of Mangorei, carves its path through the verdant terrain, its waters reflecting the soft, ever-changing Taranaki sky. In the distance, the dark, brooding silhouette of Lake Mangamahoe offers a counterpoint to the cultivated fields, a quietude that seems to absorb the day’s light as evening approaches.

The economic pulse of Mangorei is undeniably tied to the rich dairy herds that graze its pastures, their creamy output feeding a robust agricultural sector that has long defined this region. Traces of its past linger, though not in grand monuments, but in the quiet dignity of its working farms and the organised hum of its local businesses. The Mangorei Track, a seven-kilometre pathway, whispers tales of earlier travellers and the land's enduring appeal, a subtle invitation to explore the surrounding country. While the dramatic plunge of Mangakotukutuku Falls lies a few kilometres further afield, the essence of Mangorei is found in its grounded prosperity, a place where the land’s bounty is harvested with a quiet, unpretentious pride, a quiet continuation of generations of effort.

About This Mangorei Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mangorei, Taranaki, New Zealand at coordinates -39.15, 174.08333. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
