Overview
Ostend War Memorial hall, was built in the late 1940s, it was built by the Waiheke community, volunteers and donations. It is run by the Waiheke RSA.
The hall can be hired out for social and commercial events. It has a capacity of 120-140 people with a registered kitchen, stage and air con.
The hall hosts a inside area for the Waiheke Saturday markets you can find many stalls located inside.
On the 10th April 1945 A memorial plaque listing the names of ten local men who had given their lives during the war was dedicated on the day by the Rev. W.R. Castle, chaplain of HMNZ Tamaki.
A plain concrete cenotaph was later erected in front of the hall. In 2015 this cenotaph was refaced with polished granite. One side was reinscribed with commemorations of VE Day and VJ Day and a dedication to all service personnel in other theatres of war. On another side the names and serial numbers of the five Waiheke Island soldiers killed during the First World War were added (H.B.W. Barter, I.P. Hayhoe, F.T.L. O’Brien, M.D. Pegler and W.D. Voysey).
Every Anzac day waiheke locals join for the dawn parade and meet and gather outside by this plaque to remember our fallen soldiers.
