Nestled in Auckland’s south-east, Whitford is a picturesque rural suburb that offers the perfect blend of peaceful countryside and urban convenience. While the area has grown and evolved in recent years, it still retains the rustic charm that has long made it a sought-after lifestyle destination.
From wide open spaces to boutique homes tucked among native bush and farmland, Whitford is ideal for those seeking privacy, community, and connection to nature — all within easy reach of Auckland city.
Despite its rural feel, Whitford village provides everyday essentials — including a local café, restaurant/pub, superette, and service station — all just minutes from home. For more extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment, Botany Town Centre is a short 10-minute drive away.
The suburb is also home to some of the area’s best-kept secrets, like the Whitford Bird Garden and Ayrlies Garden, one of New Zealand’s most iconic private gardens.
Whitford is largely made up of lifestyle properties, with spacious sections, custom homes, and high-value rural estates. Most of the housing stock was built between 1990 and 1999, reflecting the suburb’s steady evolution over the years.
90% of Whitford properties are lifestyle blocks
Only 10% are traditional residential homes
