Waharoa is a rural community 7 km north of Matamata in New Zealand. It is located at the railway junction of the Kinleith Branch railway with the East Coast Main Trunk Railway. State Highway 27 runs through the town.[1]

The Pa and Marae are the centre of the community.

Community

The community of Waharoa is very close - most people are of a single iwi, although that is not the rule. It is not a good idea to cause trouble here. However, most people are pretty happy to help.
