    Gumboot

    Taihape is intersected by State Highway 1 just south of the Central Plateau a volcanic area in the central North Island. Taihape makes the bold claim of being the Gumboot Capital of the world, yet few dispute this fact. Besides the good humour, Taihape is a great place to stop for a rest or a bite to eat while travelling through to Auckland or Wellington. A gumboot throw away from Taihape is the Rangitikei River where one can engage in white-water rafting, kayaking, abseiling and horse trekking.

    Taihape is located in the rural Rangitikei region which stretches from Taihape in the north to Bulls in the south. This region also includes the towns of Hunterville and Marton.
