What's the Longest Name in New Zealand?

By Anna Hayes 2018-03-09

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu sign - the longest place name in New Zealand

Located in the Hawke's Bay, near Porangahau, there's a hill called Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu - pronounced "Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu".

With 57 characters in its name, it is the longest place name in New Zealand, and the longest single word place name in the world.

Locals call it simply Taumata Hill.
