Waimana is a rural valley in the Whakatāne District and Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.

[3] The Waimana settlement is based around a wide, straight main road, dating back to its heyday before motor vehicles were introduced and goods roads were opened to other towns.

[4] The Waimana-Nukuhou North Memorial Hall was opened on the main road in 1953.

A plaque above the fireplace in the hall lists two local men who died in World War I and 17 local men in World War II.

A display board near the fireplace names the 12 local men who served in World War I, the 74 local men in served in World War II, and the 36 ex-servicemen who moved to the district after 1945.

A framed bronze plaque was erected at the entrance to the hall in 1964, commemorating "the original pioneers of the Waimana settlement from 2nd Sept 1907 to 28th Sept 1909" with a list of 27 names.

[6] It was completely closed in early August due to heavy rain.

[10] Waimana is in an SA1 statistical area which covers 6.95 km2 (2.68 sq mi).
