Waimauku

Waimauku is a small locality in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. It is in the Western Ward of the Rodney District. Waimauku is approximately 4 kilometres west of Huapai on State Highway 16 at the junction with the road to Muriwai Beach. Helensville is 16 km to the north-west. Waimauku is a Māori word which is literally translated as wai: stream and mauku: varieties of small ferns.

Formerly a farming and fruit-growing locality the area around Waimauku now features a number of wineries and an increasing suburban/ lifestyle block population.

The Auckland Regional Council announced in 2007 that rail services would be extended to Helensville for a one-year trial period commencing in July 2008. This service would include a stop at Waimauku. A new station platform was built at Waimauku and the service commenced on 14 July 2008. This service has since ceased and the platform is currently unused.
