Waipapa is a small township in the Bay of Islands, of Northland New Zealand. It is around 10 minutes drive from Kerikeri,the nearest 'urban' centre to Waipapa, located on State Highway 10. Waipapa its self is so small, having no supermarket or school, that most people travel into Kerikeri on a daily basis. It is governed by the Far North District council.
