Oaonui is a community in the west of Taranaki, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located on State Highway 45, north of Ōpunake.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of many clouds" for Ōaonui.[1]
Te Pōtaka Marae and Te Pōtaka meeting house are located in the Oaonui area.[2] The marae is a meeting ground for the Taranaki hapū of Ngāti Haupoto, Ngāti Tara and Ngāti Tuhekerangi.[3]
