There is only 1 main hangar onsite which i believe holds 3 or 4 resident aircraft but across the road from the strip is a very popular Cafe/Restaurant .From inspection of the hangar i could see 3 residents.
ZK-CSC Sports cruiser and ZK-JAN Tecnam P96 Golf plus one unidentified aircraft minus its prop.
The main radio frequency for Waihi is 124.50 and runway patten of 33 R/H and 13 LH

The airstrip at WV is SO MUCH BETTER than it was a year ago. The area in front of the hangar and to the south eastern threshold has been raised by nearly a metre and, with improved drainage, has gotten rid of the wet area that kept WV closed for periods in previous winters. The rest of the airstrip, heading down 31 has also been raised with a wider landing surface and a more gentle crown, giving pilots a wider area in a cross wind and less pull to one side or the other.
