Endean's Mill is an historic native saw mill situated on Ongarue Stream Road, Waimiha. The last remaining standing native saw mill in the region.

 Non-operational for over 20 years the sawmill and most of its surrounding infrastructure still remains intact.

Across the property lies an assortment of tram lines and bogies, vehicles, drying sheds, mill worker houses and stacked processed native timber. There is also the steam engine that originally powered the mill. 

 The mill was originally located in Matiere , and when timber supply in that region was exhausted in 1927 it was moved to its current location in Waimiha.
