Raetihi, a small town in the centre of New Zealand's North Island, is located at the junction of State Highways 4 and 49 in the Manawatū-Whanganui region. It lies in a valley between Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks, 11 kilometres west of Ohakune's ski fields.
== History and economy == ===Māori settlement=== Evidence of Māori people living here in the fourteenth century has been found. Ngāti Uenuku dwelled at Raetihi. There is little evidence of large permanent settlements but hunting parties were common during warmer months.
