The Awhitu Peninsula encloses the Manukau Harbour. It is rugged, beautiful, and just over an hour from central Auckland.There are still remnants of the once thick puriri and kauri forest in the steeper valleys. A wide variety of agricultural and horticultural activities are visible on the Peninsula as are a number of charming harbour beach settlements, which are in direct contrast to the wild west coast and its 200m high sand cliffs.In the Franklin County several towns were surveyed in the late 1800s but never built. Greenock was one of these out on the Awhitu Peninsula.In those pre-road days every little bay had a wharf and the settlers sailed for supplies to Onehunga, which at that time was the main port for trans-Tasman trade.Awhitu Wines is found in Greenock Drive at Grahams Beach.Wine TastingJoin us for cellar door sales and a leisurely tasting experience in our unique location.Opening Hours:November – AprilWeekends and Public Holidays 10am - 5pmWeek days usually open though call to confirm.We are closed Christmas Day,Good Friday, Easter Sunday and ANZAC Day until 1:00pmLarge group tastings are available by arrangement.Platters can be provided on request.

Community and family values are very important to the team - something that fits well with the culture of Barfoot & Thompson as an agency.Barfoot & Thompson has been family owned and managed for more than 90 years and is Auckland's largest non-franchised real estate agency. This means all 1,700 sales staff work for the company rather than individual franchises, creating an open, supportive team culture that encourages sharing of listings and information, which ultimately benefits the client.Barfoot & Thompson Waiuku also offers a thriving property management department. The skilled and dedicated property management team takes the stress out of owning an investment property, or helping you find the perfect place to rent.Waiuku is a relaxed, friendly community with a compact main street, no traffic lights or parking meters!

Hi Everyone I’m Sherilyn Fretton.

I own a Mike Pero Mortgage and Insurance Business in Waiuku. I’m a qualified financial adviser and have 30 years experience.

Ove the years I’ve helped many families and couples find solutions and strategies to help when times are tough as well as assisting first home buyers and existing home owners looking for advice about getting onto the property ladder or buying that investment property.

I have built, bought and sold properties so have first hand experience with investment and new build lending. I also know what the banks are looking for and which one would be a good match for each of my customers based on their current situation and future goals. I understand that the world of finance and mortgages can be overwhelming so make the process as simple as possible by doing all of the work for you, and my service is FREE.

I also have great relationships with other local professionals that you may need like solicitors, valuers and building inspectors so can easily recommend someone.

I live locally and am the Treasurer of your Business Association. I enjoy being involved in the Community and have supported Waiuku College, Waiuku Rugby and Womens Refuge and Children in Need. More recently I was involved in the Business Association / St Johns initiative to help get groceries to our over 70’s during Covid 19 lockdown levels 4 and 3. What an amazing experience and group to work alongside.

I am also a parent and passionate about safety for families and community development that creates a positive community spirit. Joining the WBDA was an opportunity to be more involved with this, as a member of a dedicated and experienced team with a passion to see Waiuku continue to grow and flourish as a town.

So often I see facebook comments from people who say they are proud to live in, or be from, Waiuku. That’s really nice to hear and something to be proud of.

We have created a learning environment, which is safe, welcoming and stimulating, and promotes our vision of developing our children into independent, lifelong learners with skills to succeed in the future – including enthusiasm, initiative, resilience, flexibility, integrity and compassion.Our core values of Kaha (strength), Mana (pride), Aroha (caring) and Toa (bravery) are at the core of everything we do, promote and celebrate. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our children as confident, happy learners.We challenge our staff to be ‘Agents of C.H.A.N.G.E.’ – superheroes who can make change happen for the benefit of all our akonga (learners). We set high educational and social standards, and reflect on our performance regularly and carefully to ensure our approach consistently supports modern teaching and assessment.Our school has a friendly, family feel, and we always have lots going on. We have great children who are keen to learn, an excellent team of staff who go the extra mile, and a supportive, active Board of Trustees and PTA.

Scott’s Steelworkz offers waterjet cutting, unique art, sheet metal fabrication, welding and engineering maintenance services in the Franklin Region. We are located in Waiuku, South Auckland.

How did we get started?

Scott’s Steelworkz Ltd started as a contracting company working for local businesses and maintenance shuts at the Steel Mill, but Scott was soon investigating Waterjet Cutting Machines as he’d seen them when they first came onto the engineering scene and said “One day I’m going to own one of those!” He could see the versatility and uses for the technology.

Scott and Joanne went to China to see 2 machines demonstrated for themselves. They bought a Vichor Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Machine, importing it and setting it up at 118 Kitchener Road, Waiuku. They have developed a fantastic working relationship with Vichor Waterjet Machinery Co. Ltd. This was an amazing experience for Scott and Joanne and fits into their philosophy of “No time for regrets”.

SSW has been operating for 5 years and now employs 2 young men who are keen to learn the art of engineering. The next goal for the business is to grow enough to support a qualified Tradesman to help Scott in all aspects of the Workshop.

Our equipment now includes: Waterjet Cutter, Press Brake Folder, Punch Shear, Double Pulse Ali MIG Welder, TIG Welders, Hand Roller, forming machines and soon to arrive a Powered Pipe Roller.

Scott and Joanne have worked hard to develop and grow their business and appreciate the support of their customers and the local community who help by recommending us to their customers and friends.

How do we do it?

Our waterjet cutting machine can cut all materials up to a thickness of 100 mm except toughened glass and diamonds! This means wood, plastic, glass, tiles, ceramics, foam and all types of steel. The advantage of the Waterjet is that it cuts without generating heat, the cut edge needs little finishing. Skill and experience equal high-quality work which is our top priority. We deliver on time at a reasonable price.

5-axis cutting is the latest in cutting technology, where the head pivots and can cut bevelled edges and countersink holes.
