True Blue
About
True Blue serves Waiheke Island from 21 Belgium Street in Ostend, a gift shop with 18 reviews and an average rating of 4.1 out of 5. That figure reflects a small, steady following rather than mass trade, and the shop's page on tourismwaiheke.co.nz lists it among the specialist shops of the Ostend area.
Getting to the shop from the main settlements is straightforward, with Oneroa, Surfdale, Onetangi, Palm Beach, Little Oneroa, Blackpool and Kennedy Point all on the same island. Ostend itself sits centrally, which makes the Belgium Street address convenient for anyone moving between the western and eastern bays.
Waiheke Island lies within a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
Māori culture is central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture.
