Owhango is a small town in New Zealand situated about 20 km south of Taumarunui on State Highway 4 (SH4).Formerly Owhango was a Mill Town, milling native timbers from around the local area. The mill burned to the ground in the 1970s. Many of the mill houses are now holiday homes owned by city dwellers keen on the skiing, fishing, hunting, canoeing and tramping opportunities that abound in the surrounding area.
