A fabulous, friendly and close-knit place to raise a family, with an amazing rural lifestyle!

Helensville, Parakai and the surrounding district offer essential community service needs without losing that genuine, small-town vibe. We’ve got most of what we need on a day-to-day basis—education options, retail and trade shops, health and emergency services, and parks.

 Helensville and South Kaipara is focused on being a safe, connected place for people and families, and so many locals genuinely support this community in any way they can. Plus, we’re so close to nature! The Parakai hot pools – Kaipātiki Hot Springs, biking and walking in the forest, horse riding, and exploring the Kaipara Coast are all right on our doorstep.
