Hey guys I'm Jordan and My husband is Justin. We started this Local Waiheke Directory to provide up to date information about Waiheke, Including Businesses, Beaches, Walks, Carparks, Fishing Spots, Access Information, Lookouts and more. My husband has lived on the island most of his life, I have lived here for almost 10 years and even now I'm still learning about what businesses have to offer and what are the best beaches to go to etc. Waiheke has so much to offer but there is very little information so we wanted to change that. My main focus is Businesses, Beaches and Wildlife, I research and write a small overview of each. My Husband works on Carparks, Walkways, Streets and defibrillators he is also the photographer and mans our drone. He is in actual fact the one that came up with this directory idea and built our website. Together we work on this in our spare time, as we are also the owners and creators of a small unique hire shop named Gear Grab located in Surfdale. We look forward to seeing where this takes us and love to share our paradise we call home.
