Partially rebuilt in early 1920s, it offers a variation of architectures and styles from early colonial ages to Art Deco. Modern Onehunga offers all the necessary amenities from shopping mall (DressMart) and supermarkets to a selection of shops, vintage boutiques, parks (One Tree Hill, Jellicoe Park), beaches, swimming pools, concert venues, sport stadiums, theatre, cycleways, cafés and restaurants.
