Ostend is a settlement on Waiheke Island, in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf within the Auckland Region. Ostend is located in the west of the island, on and around a small peninsula which juts into Putiki Bay, one of two large indentations in the island's southwest coast. The southwest of the island contains much of the island's population, with Ostend being located immediately to the east of the settlement of Surfdale, and to the southwest of Onetangi. Ostend is connected to Surfdale by a causeway which crosses the western arm of Putiki Bay. The area is used by boatsmen who moor their boats on the beach, as it is easy to access from the mainland marina at Half Moon Bay. Ostend is home to the island's only supermarket (Countdown), a branch office of the Auckland council, the island's Baptist church, and a medical centre. It is known as the industrial area of the island.

Maraetai Mission Station was a Church Missionary Society founded mission based in Maraetai, Auckland, that operated between 1837 and 1842. It was founded and operated by William Fairburn, an English carpenter and lay preacher, until his resignation from the mission in December 1841. A school operated alongside the mission station, and was taught by Fairburn's wife Sarah and their daughter Elizabeth. At this school, Māori children, primarily Ngāi Tai and Ngāti Paoa, but also from other surrounding iwi, were taught reading, writing and arithmetic. The children were dressed in European clothing, and were taught the English alphabet by singing it to the tune of 'God Save the Queen'.
