Nestled in a small valley on Ottawa Road, Ngaio Village is a tiny interlude on the main thoroughfare journey across Wellington’s western suburbs. But to the local residents, and those who stop by, it is the centre of a close-knit community where people meet and shop.

Ngaio Village is a great place to catch a coffee or light meal, convenience shop or find something special. The Cummings Park Library, Toy Library and Ngaio Medical Centre are close by and historic Chew Cottage sits just a few metres south on Ottawa Road.

Ngaio has always been a character-filled neighbourhood. It has much history to draw upon from its early days on the ‘Bridle Track', which was built in 1840 (now Ottawa Road) and the Wellington to Manawatu main-trunk railway line (now Wellington to Johnsonville).

Ngaio residents will sometimes tell you it's a more grounded and unpretentious suburb than its larger neighbour to the north east, Khandallah. But whatever the perceptions, Ngaio is a very pleasant and leafy place and with its surrounding suburbs of Wadestown, Crofton Downs and Khandallah, offers families and people of all ages, many facilities and outdoor recreational possibilities.
