The iwi's rohe (tribal area) covers a coastal area from Kaeo and the Whangaroa Harbour in the east, to Oruaiti River, Mangonui and the eastern end of Doubtless Bay in the west. It extends just south of State Highway 10.[2] The rohe of Ngāti Kahu and Ngāpuhi neighbours the rohe of Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa.[1]

Another similarly named iwi ⁠— Ngāpuhi / Ngāti Kahu ki Whaingaroa ⁠— is also located in Northland.[3]

Hapū and marae

The iwi consists of the hapū (sub-tribes), who hold gatherings at marae (meeting places) and wharenui (meeting houses):

The iwi's rohe covers territory of Far North District Council and Northland Regional Council.[1]
