Most islanders pass through Ostend at least once a week it's the place where Waiheke gets things done.

While Oneroa is Waiheke's café and boutique village, Ostend is where the island actually gets things done. Sitting roughly in the centre of the island's populated western end, Ostend houses the supermarket, medical centre, pharmacy, hardware store, recycling centre, council services, and the RSA a genuinely functional community hub rather than a tourist destination.
Ostend has a higher concentration of tradespeople, contractors, and small businesses than anywhere else on the island. Plumbers, electricians, builders, and landscapers all base themselves in or around Ostend, which means it's also where work vehicles accumulate. Old utes get parked up when something newer arrives. Vans get retired when the business changes. We regularly collect these from Ostend's industrial and commercial properties and we're well set up for business account customers who need regular vehicle turnovers.
The Ostend Saturday Market at the War Memorial Hall on Belgium Street has been running every Saturday since the summer of 1981/82, making it one of the longest-running community markets in the Auckland region.

It's as much a weekly social gathering as it is a market.
