The township of Waihola lies between Dunedin and Milton, New Zealand in Otago, in New Zealand's South Island.[3] It lies close to the southeast shore of the shallow tidal lake which shares its name.

The town is located on State Highway 1, and the South Island Main Trunk rail line runs through it, though trains no longer stop. The township is within the boundaries of Clutha District.
