The first settlers arrived in Stillwater in 1852. Several houses were built on the river's edge in the early days as more land was cleared and made available for farming. Live stock was introduced and fruit from orchards transported by barge to Auckland.

Just 15 minutes from Northcross, 30 minutes from Auckland's CBD, and less than 15 minutes from Orewa and its beautiful beach - Stillwater was first settled in 1852.\nNow there are around 300 houses in the Stillwater area. Many people choose to live here because most houses are 2 minutes from the local boat ramp, and because houses tend to cost less to buy than equivalent houses on the upper North Shore or on the Hibiscus Coast.\nThe village consists of the older part of Stillwater, and also Coastal Heights which was developed as a subdivision nearly 10 years ago. Many of the original baches are now being modernised and transformed into stylish modern affairs, especially by young couples with young children who buy here because of the relaxed lifestyle, coupled with great value for money. There is a school bus that picks up children each day to take them to Silverdale or Orewa, or you can catch the bus on East Coast Bays Road for Long Bay College or Primary Schools.\nFor young mothers there's a regular Coffee Group meeting at the Stillwater Boating club. The Stillwater Ratepayers and Residents Association is very active and currently working towards a new community centre being built in the area, and there's a local Book Club.\nStillwater boasts terrific walking areas, particularly out to the historic Dacre Cottage on the coast down towards Okura. And of course there's fishing in the Hauraki Gulf which is why so many residents in Stillwater own a boat.\nWith Michael Guy of Bayleys real estate a resident of Stillwater for the past 15 years, he can help you find your ideal home in the area.\n\n
