After much anticipation, the Mānawa Bay mall has officially opened near Auckland Airport, ushering in a new era for outlet shopping in New Zealand. This state-of-the-art facility, developed with an investment of over NZD 200 million, is designed to offer a unique combination of premium retail brands, sustainability, and an emphasis on leisure and convenience.
A New Shopping Destination
Conveniently located just five minutes from Auckland Airport, Mānawa Bay provides a diverse selection of over 100 stores, featuring international names like Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Kate Spade, and Calvin Klein, alongside beloved local brands such as Kathmandu and Barkers. With substantial discounts across fashion, footwear, and homeware, Mānawa Bay is poised to become a top destination for both locals and travellers.
The mall's outlet format brings designer brands at lower prices, creating an accessible shopping experience that rivals outlet centres seen internationally. Whether you're in Auckland for a layover or planning a day out, Mānawa Bay has something to offer for everyone.
Beyond Shopping
What truly distinguishes Mānawa Bay is its focus on creating an experience beyond just shopping. The mall is designed with ample space for leisure, including 13 food and beverage outlets. Visitors can enjoy a meal at Better Burger, grab sushi at St Pierre's, or relax in the alfresco dining areas that overlook the Manukau Harbour.
The indoor and outdoor spaces are crafted to offer a relaxed environment, with plenty of natural light and open areas. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or planning a day out with family or friends, the dining options cater to a range of tastes and budgets.
Leading in Sustainability
A key feature of Mānawa Bay is its commitment to sustainability. The mall is on track to become New Zealand’s first 5 Green Star retail centre, a rating that highlights its environmentally sustainable design. One of the mall's standout initiatives is its 2.3-megawatt rooftop solar array, the largest in New Zealand, which will cover over 80% of the centre’s energy needs.
This aligns with Auckland Airport’s broader commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030, making Mānawa Bay a forward-thinking project that sets a new standard for sustainable retail developments in New Zealand.
Accessibility and Convenience
For shoppers, convenience is a priority. Mānawa Bay boasts 1,400 free parking spaces, ensuring there’s plenty of room for both local visitors and those coming from further afield. The mall’s close proximity to major arterial routes and public transport options further enhances its accessibility, making it a perfect stop for travellers passing through Auckland Airport.
A New Era for Outlet Shopping
Mānawa Bay’s opening marks an exciting development for retail in New Zealand. It offers a fresh take on outlet shopping, combining premium brands, thoughtful design, and a focus on sustainability. The mall is set to redefine the outlet shopping experience for New Zealanders and international visitors alike, blending the thrill of finding a bargain with the pleasure of spending time in a beautifully designed, eco-friendly space.
As Mānawa Bay continues to expand with more stores and dining options expected to open, it’s clear that this new mall will play a central role in Auckland’s shopping landscape for years to come. Whether you're after high-end fashion at discounted prices or simply looking for a day out with family, Mānawa Bay is the place to be.
