Bayfair Shopping Centre


Bayfair Shopping Centre,, is the main shopping mall in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.

Location

Bayfair Shopping Centre is located on the corner of Maunganui Road and Girven Road. The rear of the shopping centre backs onto Farm Road, and Jackson Street and Harris Street are located to the side of the building. It is across Maunganui Road from Omanu Golf Course, and across Girven Road from Baywave.

Facilities

Bayfair has three anchor stores; Countdown, Kmart and Farmers. Up until 2018 it was home to New Zealand's only remaining Woolworths supermarket, which was rebranded using the Australian Woolworths logo rather than rebranding to Countdown because there was already a Countdown store in Bayfair. Farmers is the only part of the shopping centre to be on more than one floor. There is a large foodcourt with around a dozen food retailers.

Development

In December 2017, construction began on expanding Bayfair. Where the old Countdown was has been turned into new stores including the Australian makeup & beauty brand Mecca Maxima, and to the left a new larger Countdown Supermarket was built. The Woolworths Supermarket on the Girven Road side was demolished and the first United Cinema in New Zealand is being built in its place.
