Waiheke Shops and Services

Author - Justin Eichler / Updated - 16/02/2026

Waiheke is a business orientated island. There are a range of retail, services and trade businesses based all over the island. Many Waiheke businesses rely on tourism and locals in order to thrive. Shops and services are the backbone of Waiheke. There are unique, original and a few big franchise businesses located around the island. Most shops are located in Oneroa and Ostend with a few located in Surfdale, Palm Beach and Onetangi. Shops range from gift shops to service stations to everything in between. Waiheke also has many tradesmen businesses, due to Waiheke being separated from Auckland Waiheke wouldn’t be functional without these important trade businesses and skilful locals. Some tradesmen come from Auckland but many are locally based.

I will segment this page into a few key sections. Retail, services and trades. This also includes essential services and emergency services such as firefighters and ambulance.

Waiheke Retail Shop

A retail shop is a location you typically go into and quickly buy goods or products without signing up or any other steps. Will list some featured Waiheke retail shops below.

Waiheke Services

A Waiheke service is something you pay to have done or something that you pay to borrow. This can be anything from car or bike hire, equipment hire, gutter cleaning, car repairs, carpet cleaning, water delivery, learning centres and schools. I will list some of the features services below.

Waiheke Trades

Still technically a service, but is more that a potentially one off service. With in many cases meetings required and custom requirements that only suit your needs. These include, painters, plumbers, plasterers, builders, electrician, drain layers, excavation work, roofers and scaffolding.

Waiheke Emergency Services

I will list emergency services in its own section, due to the important nature. If you are in a emergency, for fire, medical, health or anything potentially life threatening, dial 111. I will list some of the local emergency services below.
