Onehunga is a popular community-orientated suburb that exudes personality; in fact some call it a genuine Kiwi town centre – vibrant, friendly and full of surprises. Being one of Auckland’s oldest suburbs, there is a great range of colonial villas, bungalows and workers’ cottages, many with views of the Manukau Harbour and the port. Numerous heritage buildings taking pride of place - many have been turned into funky cafés serving great coffee and treats.
Many of the homes have been sympathetically renovated however, there is still plenty of choice for those wanting to add value and undertake a “do-up”. In recent times the area has seen a resurgence of interest, especially with young professional couples and families. They are attracted to the renovation potential as well as the many great facilities on offer.
Onehunga residents love living here for its abundance of fashionable cafes, ethnic eateries and great shopping opportunities. From the local boutiques to the notable Dress Smart, providing the best of outlet shopping while the main street never fails to deliver treasures and bargains - there is something for everyone. It can also boast good education facilities, a modern library and artistic and cultural facilities and is close to the motorways, the main arterial routes, the airport; it’s just a quick drive to the CBD or you can hop on the train at Onehunga Train Station.
Onehunga has a rich heritage to explore with its history of Maori and European settlement and trade. Onehunga means "burial place" and refers to the area's Maori burial caves. It is a suburb with so much heritage it has a network of historical walks (Maungakiekie Walk & the Manukau Walk) that show the heritage of the area. It is also the starting point for Auckland’s Coast to Coast walk as well as being just a stone’s throw from national treasures of One Tree Hill Domain and Cornwall Park. Jellicoe Park, a short walk from the town centre is a truly unique draw card. There are museums, a historic home, swimming pools and wonderful gardens to enjoy. And then there's the beautiful Manukau Harbour to enjoy, right on Onehunga's doorstep.
