Woolworths

Overview

Woolworths Waiheke is the biggest supermarket on the island and the only shopping complex with a underground carpark.

They stock everything you would find in a local supermarket, but prices can be a lot higher than a Woolworths around other areas of New Zealand due to shipping costs. The store has everything you need to make family meals or quick snacks from the deli, products for everyday tasks, pet food and more.

They were previously called Countdown Waiheke until all countdowns were renamed Woolworths in 2024.
