The Ngatiawa River is a river on the Kāpiti Coast of New Zealand's North Island that is a major tributary of the Waikanae River.[1] Its headwaters are in the Tararua Range and it flows north and northwest through the Akatarawa Valley to Reikorangi, where it meets the Waikanae River.
A 27-metre-long Howe truss bridge was built across the river in 1912 and 1913. It collapsed in 2017.[2]
