This page includes sales for Arataki, Matapihi, Mt Maunganui, and Omanu suburbs.

Mount Maunganui is a major residential, commercial and industrial suburb of Tauranga located on a peninsula to the north-east of Tauranga's city centre. It was an independent town from Tauranga until the completion of the Tauranga Harbour Bridge, which connects Mount Maunganui to Tauranga's central business district.

Mount Maunganui is also the name of the large lava dome which was formed by the upwelling of rhyolite lava, which rises 232 meters from the sea. It is officially known by its Māori name Mauao but is colloquially known in New Zealand simply as ‘The Mount’.

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of ‘large mountain’ for Maunganui. The walking tracks to the top of this extinct volcano provide 360 degree views which span the entire length of the Bay of Plenty.

Its Main Beach has been crowned the ‘Best Beach in New Zealand’ by TripAdvisor, and ranks among the top 25 best beaches in the world.
Relax on white sand beaches, surf in the warm ocean waves, or swim in the relaxing waters of Pilot Bay. This is a great place with numerous beach, ocean and multisport events and people of all ages enjoy the Main Beach year-round.
