Waiuku is located approximately 20 minutes drive from the Southern Motorway off-ramp at Drury. It was once the hub of a flourishing farming community and still retains that 'country village' atmosphere today.
Waiuku is the gateway to the Awhitu Peninsula, which has both the white sand beaches of the Manukau Harbour and the West Coast black sand beach at Karioitahi. Waiuku offers a wide range of hobbies, sports and cultural clubs ...something for all ages and all interests.
Cafe culture is strong and growing, in Waiuku and there are a number of restaurants offering cuisine from around the world.
Waiuku has all the stores normally found in a country village as well as a large New World Supermarket. The popular Friday night market sells homegrown food and home-made goods including locally produced wine and cheese!
