The Wainui Settlers Cemetery is located between the townships of Wainui and Silverdale in the northern area of Auckland city. It is easily accessed when travelling north on State Highway 1. Use Exit 396, head west along Wainui Road for 5mins until reaching Cemetery Road on the left. The cemetery is in a rural location with farmland surrounding three sides. The fourth side borders Wainui Public Cemetery, which is a totally separate entity with its own records and is run by Auckland City Council.

The earliest death recorded is 30 March 1861 (Eliza King). The cemetery is still open for burial and ash interment. Those interred tend to be early settlers and their descendants. The cemetery is run by the Wainui Settlers Cemetery Trust but has some burial records included in the Auckland City Council online burial database.

The Wainui Historical Society has extensive archival material concerning burials. They are located at the Pioneer Village in Silverdale township.

Note: As this cemetery is adjacent to the Wainui Public Cemetery and has a similar name, check both cemeteries when researching just in case a memorial has been created in the wrong cemetery.
