Location

Stratford Location Map

Stratford is nestled at the junction of two major roads (SH3 and SH43) in the North Island of New Zealand, and sits on the banks of the Patea River.

Initial settlements in the Stratford District were small Maori villages in the forested hills as places of refuge in times of war, and for seasonal activities.
