Waihi Village, also known as Little Waihi, is a small MÃÂori community of around 25 households on the southwestern shores of Lake Taupà  seven kilometres northwest of Tà «rangi, New Zealand. It has been the site of three major landslides, in 1910, 1846 and around 1780, which killed over 200 people in total. The landslides flowed down the Waimatai Stream from their source above the village in the Hipaua Steaming Cliffs geothermal area.
The village's Catholic Church of Saint Werenfried featured on a 40 cent Christmas stamp in 2002.
The village was evacuated on 29 June 2009 after a series of small earthquakes, which led to fears of a landslide. Residents were allowed to return on 2 July 2009.
Waihi Village is part of the Lake Taupo Bays statistical area.
The official opening of TÃÂpeka, the whare whakairo, was held on 18 April 1959. The opening was presided over by NgÃÂti Tà «wharetoa paramount chief, Hepi Hoani Te Heuheu Tà «kino. Guests included cabinet minister Eruera Tirikatene and the Prime Minister, Walter Nash. TÃÂpeka was built to replace a previous whare whakairo of the same name that was reportedly unstable during earthquakes. The building project took eight years to complete and involved fundraising, volunteer labour, gala days, functions and a government subsidy.
The carvings for the former TÃÂpeka were presented to St Peters College, Northland for their recreation hall in 1955. All the carvings in TÃÂpeka (1959) were newly carved. The carving project was welcomed by Princess Te Puea to Tà «rangawaewae Marae and was supervised by her nephew Tamatai Wanakore HÃÂrangi. However, due to his ill health, the project was moved to the Rotorua School of Arts and Crafts and continued by Tuhaka Kapua and Hà Âne Taiapa. The carving project was eventually taken to Waihi by Taiapa.
