Makuri is a farming community in Tararua District and Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand's North Island.
The area features dusty gravel roads, a bush-clad gorge valley, and sheep farms on the rolling green surrounding hills. It is about an hour's drive from Palmerston North, between Pahiatua and Pongaroa.[3]
A walking track has been established through the Makuri Gorge which takes about one hour to complete.[4]
