Te Anga is a rural community in the Waitomo District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.[6]
Marokopa River runs through the area. The river is not safe to swim in due to high rates of E. coli,[7] but farmers have put in plans to reduce water pollution.[8]
The area transitioned from sheep farming to more intensive dairy farming at the turn of the century.[8]
The local landscape consists of limestones, calcareous mudstones and sandstones, with small areas of basal conglomerates and coal measures.[9]
Marokopa Falls and Mangapohue Natural Bridge are close to Te Anga.
