Ngaumutawa is a suburb of Masterton, New Zealand.

Ngaumutawa is a Māori language word meaning an oven of the tawa tree. [3] Ngaumutawa was a Māori village or pā in 1853. [4] The Native Land Court assigned title to the land in 1866, and most was sold to pākehā settlers by the end of the decade. [5] Ngaumutawa Road was created about 1904. [6] The area was still rural in 1973 [7] but was under development in 1980. [8]

The rural area southeast of Ngaumutawa is marked as a "Future Development Area" by the Masterton District Council. [9] The plan was criticised for not explicitly including provision for affordable housing. [10]
