State Highway 27 (SH 27) is a State Highway in the Waikato Region of the North Island of New Zealand. It is an important north/south link along the Waihou/Piako valley and forms an important transport route across the mostly dairy farming Matamata-Piako District. SH 27, in conjunction with SH 2 is often used as an alternative route between Auckland and Tauranga, Rotorua and Taupo. Apart from the windy northern section around Kaihere the road is very straight with few bends. The highway is entirely single laned.[1]
