Weber, New Zealand

Weber, New Zealand

Weber is a hamlet situated 28 km southeast of Dannevirke and 23 km WNW of Herbertville, on the east coast of New Zealand. It is about 5 km south of Waipatiki.

It was founded the late 19th century as an overnight stop for coach teams on the journey to and from the coast. This was the distance a team of 6 horses and a coach could travel in one day.

Today it consists of a church, a school, a pub, a rural fire depot, a community centre and several houses.

Weber is just off the former SH 52. This is a scenic tourist route between Waipukurau and Eketahuna which also runs past the place with the world's longest place name, Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu.
