Motumaoho is a small village in the Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island, just to the west of the Pakaroa Range. It is on SH26, 25 km (16 mi) east of Hamilton[3] and 7 km (4.3 mi) west of Morrinsville.[4] The village is bordered by the Waitakaruru Stream to the east.[5] Motumaoho can be translated as an intruding clump of trees.[6]
It once had a cheese factory, post office, railway station and garage,[7] but now has only greenhouses, a school and houses.[8] A hall was open at least from 1917[9] to 1928.[10]
