The Waikiwi Town Settlement is situated a few chains from the terminus of the Waikiwi-Invercargill tram-lines, between the main road and the railway. The sections now offered are some of the best remaining sections in this subdivision and comprise suburban residential sites with frontages to formed and metalled roads just off the main tar-sealed road. Several ideal sites front the main road.

Considerable building activity in this locality has taken place recently and it is becoming a popular suburban residential area. School, post-office, and Waikiwi Railway-station are adjacent. The soil is good and the sites are high and dry. A large recreation reserve adjoining provides ample playing facilities.

Any further information required may be obtained from the undersigned.
