Our Promise To News

For our news stories we are a independent provider and only providing news based around Waiheke. We will also try do our own research and have our boots on the floor, not just recycle the same story shared around the internet.

Our news will not be clickbait or misleading titles.

What We Will Report On

Pretty much anything out of the ordinary around Waiheke Island, we are not following any agenda. So if something has happened we can report on it. Anything we are legally allowed to report about.

All of our stories will have a basic location, news type and time and dates. We may post some details based on rumor, but we will try to avoid that as people will say we are not creditable etc.

How We Will Report

We will either go to the news location or talk to people/bystanders from the news location. Waiheke is not that big and so in many cases we will be on the scene taking photos and videos.
