Reviews of Bayfair Shopping Centre

J. A.

A fantastic selection of stores set in pleasant surroundings with plenty of food options to refuel! The extensions have significantly improved Bayfair and pretty well any item can be purchased here now. Of special note is K-Mart and a cinema complex.

J. M.

This shopping centre might not be the same size as Auckland's shopping centres(Mt Wellington or St Lukes), but they've got a real good range of stores, no matter what your obsession is. Heaps of car parks, ir if you want to ride your bike, there's plenty of places to park up / lock up your ride. There's even repair stations if you get a puncture and need to fix it. There's Countdown, Farmers and Kmart for all your grocery and household appliance basics. Heaps of clothing brands like Amazon, Cotton on, Dotti, Max, Peter Alexander, and Kathmandu. Whitcoulls is there for your book needs, Pascoes for Jewellery, Vodafone and 2degrees for phones and internet, Smiggles for stationery for the pre school and primary school little ones, Farm street Larder for your coffee hit plus other cafes like Starbucks, The Coffee Club, Esquires and a reasonable food mall for fast food joints like KFC, Macca's, Subway, Pita Pit, Sushi and other food options. And if your children still have got bundles if energy after dragging thrm around all the shops, there's a small climbing frame outside in a children's area that they can play around on. Bayfair's worth a visit for locals and tourists and a place to go and spend some of that free Corona handout money on

At kmart. Did a lot of clothing shopping. Excellent buys for plus size needing cotton clothes. KK fashions was still expensive and not much of pure cotton. Hot fabric. Food court was good, loved the sushi. Kmart is a excellent place to buy kids toys. Lot cheaper.

J. P.

Nice clean and modern mall, it would be nice if there were more toilets or at least the toilet signage was more prominent.

J. W.

This is a really lovely shopping mall with very friendly staff, who continue the hospitality well after hours. I drove in on my way down the east coast, looking for an after hours toilet and the staff at the local Asian restaurant there were so obliging offering me access to their bathroom. Thankyou for your kindness, which goes a long way.

Just so many beautiful shops to choose from in a gorgeous mall with lots of space and a big food court is available too. You can't go wrong here. A1

C. H.

Great shopping center, very clean and modern with a huge selection of store. Great food court, again a huge variety of places to eat. Was busy with school holidays, but enjoying shopping here. A large car park as well. Lot's of comfortable seating scattered around to take the weight off your feet. One of the better shopping Malls I have been to in New Zealand.

C. T.

Beautiful mall ,on arrival many places to eat,cleaver and Co seemed to be the favourite,if you wanna ditch the kids then there's time zone,plenty to play in there,mall was nice to walk around

K. M.

wow this place has gotten amazing! Bit of a rabbit's warren though and could do with some more regular spots indicating where you are and where shops are. Great stuff though!!

M. P.

Love this place, so spread out and not crowded. Lots of places to shop and buy. The food court is always a favourite ❤

Great selection of shops. Awesome movie theatre, brilliant food court, loads of parking. Entrance to the multi storey carparking can be an absolute pain.

S. F.

Great shopping centre. Very clean and great selection of shops and all under a roof with free parking. Excellent

Excellent staff & shops - especially the security man on duty @ the food court, Excellent people skills politely asking diners for vaccine passes - top job

When I decided to purchase the present for the child whose my agent’s son, I didn’t know the place where I go. So I serched in goolge and then I stopped by the bayfair. I could meet everything that I’d wanted to buy. In addition to, there are most banks in NZ where we can have a bank service even weekend, such as ASB, ANZ, Westpac, Kiwi bank including postal service and BNZ ATM. Great place for you!

Cool mall. Good to see less people wearing masks. Much more friendlier to us who choose no mask

Very good. So many shops and a good feel with the new extension. Worth visiting for an outing.

Great service. Loved the reclining chairs. Clean and tidy facilities. Thankyou

Great for shopping lots of seating available at convenient locations around mall.

D. P. (.

Beautiful place to shop other than having a creepy lady follow us around trying to sell us a book lol Would appreciate more security patrolling lol.

Awesome shops. Something for everyone. Clean and friendly huge shopping mall.

Nice mall clean not too big but do nice food

P. H.

Absolutely Love this Shopping Centre👌 Literally has Everything! I Love Photography. Took these in an around the Centre. Go Shopping then head too Beach... 😁😍💯 no

S. H.

Bayfair its good great open spaces heaps of parking, multi storey n flat ground.. gots all your needs shopping wise.. timezone, countdown Kmart food court plus outside mall food/bars corner of higher end eating available big upgrades happening but all for the better shopping experience, also major roading upgrades SH2 eight out front, not really affecting entrances bar one, the main entrance but many scattered around back. Cool dog shelter station also..

Eating in the Food Hall can be a great place to meet friends, as everyone can choose from such a variety of different types of food

Great atmosphere.. Very clean and tidy. Food court cleaners are awesome...

It's a nice busy center. Good food court and few shops.

A big shopping centre with a variety of stores and food spots. Very clean and modern.

A great place to go and shop there are so many different types of shops and food shops.

If you want just every generic chain store that New Zealand has to offer plus a bog standard mall food court, this is the place for you. There is copious parking or, if you’re coming by bus, the bus stops are out the back on Farm Street.

Ok but don't trust some of the food in the food court containers seems to be in containers a long time and been sick from it

Convenient place for most of your shopping needs, good parking and easy walk to the main complex

Chemists Warehouse, unbelievable,I waited for this magic moment,to shop,had the greatest time at Chemist Warehouse beautiful staff, thankyou

Getting better as it grows. Might visit again once roads are sorted

Great food very good and friendly service highly recommend

It has expanded a lot since I first ever went to Bayfair.. Lots of shops now and places to eat. Highly recommend for a day out as there is a Timezone too!

s. k.

Very big place, not to crowded, every person was wearing their masks, we sat down to have lunch, very clean eating area, plenty of cleaning people, wiping up after people have cleared the tables straight away, we didn't find what we were looking for but still what a great place to visit.

H. B.

Fantastic Mall. Girls shopping day for going to a wedding. All very happy with our purchases from Dotti, Jacqui E and Portmans. Some shopping in Cotton On for the younger ones. Great foodcourt, easy parking under cover and a great finish to the day with a Starbucks coffee.

Good parking, very accessible good range of shops.

Very busy place. Good selection of shops, banks, supermarket, food hall

Enjoy visiting. Always nice and clean. Staff very nice and helpful

Absolutely awesome shopping centre. So much choice and convenience. Ample parking.

Certainly a better place to go nowadays and hopefully will get better again after major roadworks are done. Some great eateries- Katsubi being the best. Alright shops.. decent parking 👍

Great mall everything you need is there. Good shopping

Large enough to get around a selection of shops but not to big to get lost.

D. E.

We all know how Tauranga is one of New Zealand’s rapidly expanding cities, and it is in fact the fifth largest city in the country. Bayfair Shopping Centre has been the pride of Tauranga for many years, bragging many international, national and local brands, and it is relatively exciting to see how the new renovations currently happening at the centre will work out. (Spoilers: It will be so awesome, we can’t wait!)

Easy parking, lots on offer including yummy food

You can easily spend the whole day there and not experience everything.

Always nice and clean. One stop shop for me and my family.

Food court serves everyone but seating area requires vaccine passes. Don't know why - other food courts don't do that.

Busy when we went, hard to find parking but this place has a large variety of stores

Great food stalls, good variety of stores, nice experience

Very comprehensive mall just about every shop you could think of

Fabulous mall! 3 generations shopped together all finding just what we were looking for. Will certainly return for another lovely day again soon.

Good shopping and dining options when we visit Mount Maunganui.

Great variety for shopping Great food court

S. S.

Lots of shops and plenty of places to eat too. Haps of parking but just remember what door you came in!

As always, products there when you need them. Very clean toilet facilities.

J. H.

I'm a visitor from Auckland and I was very impressed. A great place to visit and gang out

J. S.

Great shopping center to visit, with heaps of variety and a great food court. It's still under reconstruction, but when it's finished it will be great

L. T.

I appreciated the help today from the Information Desk staff member as I couldnt find my car on car park. A security guard was called and helped me retraced my steps and we located my car. I was very grateful for their help. A big "thumbs up" for Bayfair staff. Thank you very much.

R. F.

Really nice shopping centre with a good range of shops. A good indoor food court, that caters for most, a Domino’s on the outside of the mall, McDonalds and KFC, Kebabs, Subway, Pita Pit, Starbucks, Shamiana Indian, Hot Works Chinese etc have a number of options for even the fussiest of eaters. Now with the addition of the food alley this has made the choice even better, with a great range of restaurants like Nando’s, Mexico, Burger Burger, along with pub style restaurants too makes it a great place to eat even if you don’t go to the mall itself. Bayfair really is one of the best malls in Tauranga and easily competes with similar Auckland malls with a better range of food than places like Sylvia Park.

Always good. Never too busy. Undercover car park for those sunny or rainy days. Red and green lights above each parking space to indicate occupied or vacant space. Very handy!

A lot of shops and nice people.

Love this mall and food court.

Another wonderful place for all your shopping, wininh and dining needs, includes countdown supermarket with a lovely seating area outside for those preferring to wait rather than shop, cotton on, food court, jewelery, pizza, crystal gifts, schetchers, you name it its all here at your finger tips..the waitresses at the food court are absolutely lovely, plenty of parking, wheelchair accessible, only 5 minute drive from Mt maunganui Beach...awesome place

The bays oldest shopping centre in the bay, which has been refurbished quite recently. You will find everything from hi-tech shops to clothing and supermarkets. The centre also hosts a cinema and a multitude on restaurants.

M. M.

Pretty much everything you need in one location. Supermarkets, cafes, pharmacy’s, games shops, book shops and a ton of clothing stores. The layout and some of the shops have changed in the last year or so. Ground floor Parking can be a bit of a challenge on busy days (weekends especially) so try and use the upper floors of the multi story park if you can. Popular with tourists and out of town folk. If you go there during a public holiday and it’s warm outside, be prepared for big crowds in the food court!

No purchases just walk through but always a greaty ambience of business. Like it

Cool place. Plenty of stores to enjoy and a nice food court if you are hungry during your retail therapy.

Always a pleasure shopping here. Everything you need in one place

Bayfair you won't see me there lol Really the best mall in Arataki and the Mount

Decent selection of shops and clean modern look.

very good mall better then the Henderson Auckland westcity mall

K. W.

Love this mall, it’s not too big but has great selection of stores and a good food court. Kmart is great and Countdown for groceries makes it perfect. The toilets are spacious and always clean. I walk here all the time and it’s so convenient!

Busy mall with most of the big brands here.

S. a. B.

The most exciting thing about this iconic shopping complex... The new outdoor eateries. A great mix of quality food options, mixed with a clever layout that allows easy choices of indoor or outdoor. Makes for a great reason to visit, even if you’re not shopping.....

A. P. (.

Love it reminds me off the ozzy shopping malls. Anyway awesome place to shop at if you have money🤑. Love that it has kmart my Fave 👌 also caters to eating and gaming entertainment for the whole family.

It's what you want in a mall, be awesome if it had a huge playground d for the kids 😂

Don't visit very often with the roadworks at present makes it difficult to get to

Just another shopping center.No different from any other.

A. B.

Busy spot, all the usual stores, I got keys cut at Minuteman Bayfair, Brian was really helpful. Plenty of easy parking.

L. H.

Amazing Shopping Center, partly new now with a huge countdown and nice new shops, big car park and modern design.

B. J.

Really busy place but probably due to having a feet range and the stores seem to have better or more items available. When road works out front done it will be busier.

Crowded but cool place

Excellent mix of outlets including food court

Got some of just about everything ...clean/friendly ..and the toilets are V. nice/functional!!...mother/father toilets are a big bonus for parents of little ones ...

I always hangout here like almost every Saturday

K. A. (.

Large, open spacing, a wide variety of business from fashion to food, not too long of a walk from one end of the centre to the other. Was extremely clean everywhere and lots of parking all around including in the multi-level carpark.

Spotlessly clean... Plenty of parking.... Good selection of stores and lovely cafe

What can you say about modern shopping malls? Especially when you are only tagging along? But it was clean, wasn't full of the same old chain stores, and had parking , so that is all good.

Nice to shop under one roof

This is a gorgeous mall, in a great place. Third time here at mount and this place has gotten more productive and pretty. Love it. 😊

Great range of food & shopping options. Will be a much better experience when all of the road improvements are completed

Young persons mall now. Shops aimed for youngins.

Shop here often. Lots of variety of shops. Kmart, Countdown, Specsavers, Farmers, food court, clothing, jewelry, and many more shop options. Also has other shops in small centre across the roundabout. Tonnes of options, plenty of stores, can spend a whole day here!

J. M.

Lovely helpful cleaning staff directed me to the next best thing to a two dollar shop. Horrid cheeky staff in there. But my cleaner guy was on point. Lovely Whare Bayfair 💕 My first ish visit. Lovely staff, helpful in countdown xx chirpy too xx tyvm xx

Heaps of parking, covered or uncovered. Eco friendly steps taken by the mall to reduce the impact on the environment. Heaps of choices for shops and food

S. G.

Had a great experience shopping and dining in the outside food restaurant area. Good selection of shops, tidy and clean place. May be an idea to have some toilets on the other end. Overall good day out 😊

C. B.

I have been coming to Bayfair for over 35 years. I love how modern it is now. I have seen a huge transformation since the year 1999 with a far wider diversity in the shopping selection available. It would be nice to know if they can build a second storey above existing shops.

Had all the shops I needed Stirling sports/Lower/Amazon/Cosmic/Kmart& Countdown, and a great coffee from Esquires,Heeeaps more shops/movie theatre

Just had lunch with plenty of options to choose from, what we had was delicious

Have only shopped here once before, seems very popular with decent selection of shopping options for different needs, brands and prices. Could do with more obvious signage for the rest rooms and more casual seating for a break from standing/walking etc.

Bayfair has improved a lot over the years ! More shops to visit and more car parks. As a child bayfair was a small building with a few shops a couple of banks and 2 supermarkets limited car parks. A lot of years later a big level car park was built with over 1000 car parks and food outlets and more to come. wow ! 🙂

Has a great selection of shops to choose from for all your needs

Great shops, heaps of parking. Only thing to make it better will be when roadworks are completed 😀

I do not as a rule have great affection for large shopping malls. However Bayfair is the exception because of its large covered carpark definitely a big asset when one is out shopping in both winter as well as summertime. A good place to shop and spend a whole day away from home for mother and the little ones.

I went to Strand Bags an bought a small backpack for myself so i dont hav to carry a handbag around 👍. The lady on that late afternoon was very helpful, she got down all the bags for me to choose from 😁. Grest customer service!!

Most shops represented. Plenty of space and seating and great in wet weather with covered car parking.

Very nice place expanded over the years

K. R.

Very good shopping centre with many different shops to choose from. I spent time during Christmas here doing my shopping and found good deals for Christmas presents for friends and family. There is usually parking available and the foodcourt is good for a rest and a feed.

Just another shopping centre, same old shops

It's a nice place and very spacious, the food court would probably be better if it was a bit more spread out instead of so tightly packed, there's a lot of clothing stores more than anything else tho. I saw the mystery machine outside.

To big hard to find shops you need

A great mall, well designed so nobody will get lost in this mall. A great variety of shops and a picture theatre, also a supermarket. 🥂🤠

New complex in the midst of construction for further expanding the shopping centre itself. Has all conveniences available, including countdown, Kmart, Farmers, a multitude of retail stores. Will boast a total of 150 stores once expansion is completed. Also has a dog area for tying up your pet while you shop, and charging stations for mobility vehicles.

Wow just wow! Spent three hours here today with three teenagers and a baby! Was an awesome day out.. looking at whats hot in fashion, sports, shoes, jewellery, massage, nails, free wifi, groceries, foodcourt ( so much to chose from) mens, ladies, kids wear, a wide range of everything in this place. As we were walking around we were kinda hungry but we noticed alot of people with (kfc) so we located it in the far corner across from subway and decided to dine in.. was super efficient with food service but couldve done with a clean up as customers left from eating in.. as tables were left unsanitized (had to clean our own table and chairs) the floors needed a major sweep and there was rubbish left on the window bench as you approached the court. The rubbish bins needed emptying as they were filled to the top. We really liked the beepers given to notify us our food was ready 👍 all KFC's shpuld have these available wether your dining in or waiting for an order instore. It was the first kfc we have had that we ate piping hot.. very nice. And to my amazement which i thought had been extinct was they had the towelettes.. i was very excited to see these! All KFC's should have these available as well. Thanks for the great service but hygiene is something to work on.

A good mall with everything you'd expect from a shopping centre. Perhaps a bigger food court with more options would be in order (or a second food court).

A very nice mall with some really great cafés and shops

Love this place especially the Peter Alexander store 😍

2nd best place to shop around in tauranga

Great range of stores now that they've expanded the centre. Stores like Mecca Maxima are there as well as an upgraded Cotton On store. Bathrooms are very tidy, wheelchair accessible and child/family friendly. Food court has extremely limited seating for the size of the complex so during peak times it's impossible to find seating to eat at.

Loved the shopping mall and a selection of eateries to choose from. Pita pit and Coffee Club were both very nice places to eat from. Good quality of food and very nice hot drinks, both would highly recommend

Great. BUT, PLEASE PLEASE SIGN IN AT EVERY SHOP. YOU ARE SELFISH IF YOU DON'T. WHY DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT OTHERS???

Crowded but good range of shops

It is years since I have shopped at Bayfair Shopping Centre and today I found it very pleasant. The few places that I did visit, I found the staff very pleasant and easy to deal with. Thank you Bayfair I'm sure I will be back soon. 👍👍👍

Don't come here in summer unless u want to get stuck in traffic to and from the mall. So many new stores in the mall, good layout and the food court is top notch. They also have a time zone for the kids and a cinema coming soon I believe

Nice collection of stores not much social distancing happening

The only decent mall in town

Had a great time at Bayfair Mall. We found it a relaxed and friendly place to shop when we visit the Mount. A good variety of shops and services from supermarket to jewelers and banks to clothing and food shops. Plenty of parking, undercover or outside. Recommended.

K. K.

Love food and love shopping. This is the nice place those activities in Tauranga side. This place got every side car parking and all car parking are wheel friendly. There access of entrance is ver wheelchair and strollers friendly. They got very nice clean restrooms.

It was so amazing 🤩💜the kids loved anime house 💓

K. T.

Easy parking disabled parks right by doors good to see .disappointing to see really strange mix of Christmas badly installed over head hangings and 2 random ball shapes in food hall along with random dried flower installations very sparse and uncoordinated apart from that great selection of shops awesome countdown and muffin break.

Good mall, lots of choice

Love the new add on. Great place for a family outing, it has everything that any family member could possibly need

So expensive but the only place to eat

Well.set out although a bit ugly with the alterations going on but I know once it is all finished it will be awesome can't wait. Apart from that well spaced out plenty of room to move. But the food court is a bit small and it can be hard to find a table or seat during lunch time

F. T.

Was a great place to take the girls can't wait to do it again

Nice new shop additions

Difficult to cycle to, and had to wrap new changed

Hard to get a park for starters.. and thats on more then one occasion. Toilets are clean and are cleaned during the day. Layout easy to follow.. and the typical shops you would find in any mall.

Always a good selection of things required

All the stores you need. Clean and not too noisy

Really liked this centre, interesting mix of shops and eateries. Nice, clean looking centre with good parking.

Howzit? Its grown a lot bigger, give yourself more time for parking & getting round the place, seems nice friendly staff.

Nice big modern mall and actually has some shops that aren't clones of every other mall :D

Blown away by the sheer size and grandeur of a shopping centre located outside of the 3 major cities in NZ. Fantastic!

Lots and lots of shops. It was nice and clean. Toilets were clean swelt fresh. The centrevwas well looked after. Rubbishbins were all emptied.

It has a free electric car charging.

A. G.

Close to the mount this mall has it all - a supermarket, lots of shops,Kmart and a good food court. Petrol station nearby. They even provide and outdoor covered place you can put your dog with water and covered parking.

Always a great visit.

J. ..

Small but plenty of store around. The bundle of restaurants outside is great. Had a beer and played a few games of pool.

Good range. Lots shops and under cover. Nice coffee too

G. S.

The new food outlets have made this a nicer place to visit. Great variety of stores to choose from and superb foodcourt.

J. S.

Great mall. Everything you want in a mall. Had some awesome ideas like a doggie tie up spot, car park vacancies indicated by green lights above the park, electric car charging parks and cycle bike park with tools provided to do running repairs if needed.

We love shopping at bayfair! They have just added on heaps of new stores and now have a fantastic outdoor section with restaurants. They pretty much have everything you need! From makeup stores to farmers and Kmart and even countdown! It’s all indoor so you can escape the weather if needed.

I haven't been here in years and it has really grown, great selection of stores.

Lots of free parking, and a good variety of stores.

Great place too shop

Busy but everything you need in one place

D. K.

If you haven't made your way here in the last year, I encourage you to do so as there's a whole new array of stores since Phase one of two of the extension has been completed. However the new Coffee Club is small and ugly compared to the atmosphere of the old one.

N. J.

Let's face it, it's a mall smaller than some but large enough to spend a bit of time having retail therapy. Food hall is nice but you can get cheaper food elsewhere.

C. B.

Has recent stepped up it's game. Great location, wide variety of shops, large food court with plenty of options, clean and tidy, usually quite busy on weekends. Great public transport options and parking also :)

The best shopping centre in Tauranga. Lots of outlets with great parking space!

Best shopping mall in Tauranga

L. H.

A nice mall with Farmers, Kmart and a large supermarket anchoring a great variety of other shops. The food court has something for everybody. Great parking lot that indicates how many spaces are available in each row - really helpful!

Good range of shops here. Supermarkets, boutique stores, restaurants, cafes, cinema. Great to spend some time here on a nice day, sit outside for lunch, stroll through the shops.

D. P.

I don't like the layout, hard to find your way around if you don't know the mall. Good selection of different stores although I did find myself walking out and across the road to visit Harvey Norman and Warehouse stationary... Best part is the large undercover parking.

S. A.

As always a great place to spend a quality time with the family for shopping or grabbing a nice meal. It is so nice to see the new expansion for the cinema and I’m sure that this will enhance the center experience to a great level. Will certainly come again and again.

Great place to shop now they have extended the mall more shops and restaurants.. the new movie theatre is great old Hollywood glamour

J. S.

Great for the kids with a small indoor playground and a few rides they can enjoy! Keeps parents sane on a rainy day! There's work currently being done in the car park which is a bit rough but still functional

Has a variety of shops to visit, so very handy.

z. a.

Heaps of shops and parking. If you don't Like crowds go in the morning or later in the evening as it can get quite packed. They do have a food court tho that have a lot of yummy food shops. Plenty of seating.

Very busy clean and nice

Ok mall first thing in the morning

The back entrance of the Plaza is wonderful. Not very crowded..easy access to Farmers and the food court.. I loved it...being disabled, it gave me effective entry and exit if the mall.

Everything under one roof including free parking. Lovely cafes when you've shopped till you can shop no more at either one of many boutique stores as well as keenly frequented chain stores. Plus the countdown supermarket to get your supplies before heading off home.😁

Good variety of shops, large good food Hall and plenty of sheltered parking available. Also installing charging stations for electric vehicles! Only rated this place four stars because the acoustics in the food Hall are terrible!

M. H.

Still enjoy the convenience and variety of stores. Usually love the food court options but I must say, Hot Wox is really not as good as it used to be! Bonus, I found Mirrou, first time there and loved it!

Nicely located between Papamoa and Tauranga City, this is a shopping centre that has quite a bit on offer, ranging from banks, to clothing, to food, this little mall has quite a bit to offer. The food court offers quite a variety, so if you are into sushi or Indian or burgers, you'll be able to find sufficient satisfaction for your palate. The new movie theatre being built will naturally add to the appeal for others. Parking is also ample.

Good mall. The place always feels a bit 'full-on' even when not that busy. Better selection of food now.

Good food, great place to view and lots of shops to visit

A. M.

Kiwi's still go to malls, this one is busy. I am good with this mall because it has a nice food court with fairly priced meals. The whole family can pick whatever they like from a variety of restaurants and then all sit together without drama.

Went here after the opening of stage one of the new mall. Was so excited, but found it a little underwhelming. It's ok if you can afford expensive fashion, although the new mega Cotton on store is great as it incorporates Rubi shoes and Body. Pricewise is also worth a look, although on this occasion the deals were not that great. I actually ended up at Kmart and Farmers. The new stage looks amazing but there are clearly stores yet to open even within this stage. Imlove bayfair and this won't change that.

Have just opened up new shops and stalls during the most recent extension. Have even opened up a Time Zone arcade there!!! Lots of great places to shop, and have some lunch or a treat half way through shopping in the amazing food court

Good place to shop, take kids to timezone and various food stop selections. Plenty of parking.

Awesome shopping centre large range, even has a drop of centre for the kids so you can shop (service only available in school holidays) well done team

Still like the old Bayfair better

This is where I mostly shop for all my needs. Good selection of shops and restaurants.

Large central under cover shopping centre with all the main shopping destinations, food outlets & supermarket enclosed within. Huge underground carpark as well surrounding the center itself for plenty of parking options.

Bayfair would have to be my favorite shopping centre I aways go there everytime I go to Tauranga whether for work or holidays

Awesome range of stores and food places

Excellent shopping beautiful and clean has everything u could wish for!!

Good selection of shops and food has a movie theatre really enjoyable

Not just your typical mall. BayFair with it's ongoing upgrades just keeps getting better. Has shops for everyone from tech to clothing to Banks to sushi. Perfect place to go to buy almost anything or just to shop around. In closerl proximity of major roads and the beach.

Always feel ripped off by the food court. Slim pickings of you want a good vegetarian meal. There is also no water fountain anywhere at this mall.

I enjoy going to Bayfair because I can do everything in the one place. It's always clean, the facilities are great and there is a good range of eatery's.

L. S.

Great wee play area for young ones up to ages 6.

A wonderful shopping experience. Many food places and everything else there.

A very nice shopping complex with almost everything you need, but I found the men's tiolets disgusting. You don't want to sit down.....

Modern and clean. All the usual mall stores. Good parking. Quite a few food options. Could do with a nice non-chain cafe though.

This place has alot of choice.

Good varied shopping. Plenty car parks. Clean toilets Excellent new food outlets. Lunched Mexican Friday. Great service Fun tasty reasonably priced food.

Good and timezones there and movie

I find that the variety of businesses means you can do all your shopping under 1 roof. Then choose a spot for lunch or just a drink with friends or the kids or quietly by yourself. Heaven.

Lots of new shops

Heaps of parking. Music in the carpark!!!

Great place to shop, plenty of seating for my older mum who can't walk for long distances.

Loads of free parking, great selection of stores and lots of yummy food options.

I have been going to bayfair since I was a kid with my grandmother. Has a large kmart inside and all the usual shops a good shopping centre in new Zealand would have like Jay Jay's Glasson Hallen stones and more. There is a good size food court and very clean and tidy public bathrooms. Great relaxing day out under cover

It's one of the best mall available in Tauranga or Mt Maunganui. I went there to have lunch and there are plenty of options available. I ordered a Vietnamese wrap from Tank and protein shake which were reasonably good in taste.

Don't loose your money. haha

The prawn & scallop salad was absolutely delish! Cant wait to go back & see what else is on the menu!!

Great shopping, lots of stores big variety of stores, really good shopping malls

Lots of new shops and new restaurants and cinema opening soon extra carparks have been added

The only large mall in Tauranga. Everything there that you need, plenty of parking, disability as well. PO, banks, Kmart, Farmers, two supermarkets and novelty shops. Large food hall and friendly atmosphere.

This place looks amazing after all the reno. Can spend hours browsing and buying more than I came for. Love it.

So much shopping to do. Variety of stores. Dining outdoors and indoors is a plus. Great place.

Good range of stores including KMart, Millers, Spark, Vodafone, 3 degrees, pharmacies, supermarkets, book stores, Farmers, Lotto, and a good food Hall with McDonalds, Roast, Asian, Indian etc. Banks including Westpac and Kiwibank. There are a lot more that I can't immediately recall. Parking is good, I usually park on the third floor where there are lots of empty parks. The lift takes you to the ground floor. It is also wheelchair friendly. Quite a few people use mobility scooters there.

Great shopping but Bigger the better !

Great mall the only thing that I can comment on is that there is not enough stuff for teens or children and there is too much clothing shops

Bayfair is one of the most popular mall's in the Bay Of Plenty. Lot's of shop's to choose from, a huge variety of food choices, great place to take the kid's & whanau along.

Huge variety of shops and products. Like a kid in a candy store. Love the parking. Awesome use of wheelchair parks available for me

Great place Something for everyone

Great spread of shops

One of the two larger shopping centres in Tauranga area. This one has the usual mix of shops plus a Mecca Maxima. Nothing special to mention.

Always nice and clean, a great place just to wonder around the shops

Good variety of shops here, I have yet to have a meal here but it is on the list

Nice... not crowded today

I can't believe such a nice mall doesn't have a simple drinking water fountain. I asked the info desk where the water fountain was, and was told that there is no water fountain because it would compete with bottle water sales. Really? The oceans are overflowing with plastic waste from bottled water. I just spent a thousand dollars on a mobile phone in your mall, and you can't afford me a sip of water? Certainly there are customers spending lots of money in your mall who have a medical condition and they need to take a pill. I mean, I understand capitalism, but intentionally making your mall a concrete desert is extreme. Shame on Bayfair if their expansion doesn't include a water fountain for its loyal customers.

Undercover parking; air conditioned; great food court; great coffee shops; ice cream shop; take away's outside such as Domino's Pizza and Indian cuisine; great shops with anything you need including electronics; beauty; jewelry; clothes for all sizes and ages; handbags & suitcases; Lotto and two supermarkets - all under one roof! Great for shopping on those hot summer days or those cold and wet winter days!

Has everything one might need in terms of having kids at the shops... playground, changing and feeding facilities all kept very tidy and clean, food for choice as well as shops to please most every member in the family

Close, compact, yet has everything. everything looks clean and fresh as well. and plenty of parking. A great variety of stores and visual appeal.

Manah d to find parking despite the extensive renovation work going on and the fact that it was a public holiday. Cleaning staff in the food court were run ragged but doing a fantastic job.

It has everything from Mecca Maxima, Seed Heritage, Barkers complete with its Groom Room (barber), Farmers, Adairs to Kmart. Do your grocery after shopping-there's countdown.

Good food court (hot wok sushi mmmmm!). Pretty much everything you need under one roof. Currently being expanded so is only glint to get better :)

Decent food, plenty of shops.

One stop shopping place as you can buy groceries as you can find Countdown Supermarket, KMART and other specialty shops ranging from shoes, nightwear, phones/gadgets, fashion design and even the electronics appliances as you can buy through Jb-Hifi store

D. C.

It's an undercover shopping experience with major anchor tenants like KMart, Farmers, Countdown. It also has major chainstores like: JBHiFi, Glassons, Hannahs, Whitcoulls, Just Jeans etc; as well as boutique shops. It has a substantial and popular Foodcourt, but also boasts other intimate eating areas. Access and parking can be awful at times. They are currently expanding into the surrounding area.

T. N.

It’s a good place to go and by many different things! Here you can find food and clothes! So go with time! The quality of clothes are not the best, but it’s helpful when you don’t want to spend lots of money

Great place, a bit of something for everyone

Loads of windiw shopping can be done, heaps of seating areas to rest while you wait for the next bus or between getting a haircut and a coffee

I love the place had everything in it everyone should go anywhere else to buy my stuff and the food court was awesome

Great shopping here. All the larger stores can be found here and they have a large food court with enough choices for everyone. Would recommend to others.

G. Y.

Great Mall, great range of outlets, fantastic food court with added restaurants, definitely can't wait for the cinema to open soon

best shopping mall i have been too. NP is seriously lacking in this area. whoever designed this mall should be thanked. plus there is a kmart 😍

Not bad for a mall. Great restaurants on the outskirts of it.

C. T.

Jeez, it was like the amazon main maze, but harder, and scarier with the locals walking about! Naaa but seriously looked like a good mall, had everything I would have needed, had it not been 10 at night!

Omg bayfair has gotten bigger since I left many moons ago. Loving the change.

The Jewelry shop had some good prices on there ring which is good to see

Great shopping , especially if you are female , All the Telcos are here .

Clean and tidy ok shops. Just hoping that the new shops are different to what we already have in the bay. Food hall very average needs more healthy options.

Lots of great shops

Nice for doing all your shopping. Has lots of stores that sell all sorts of things. Parking was a bit confusing though and had to ask where to park.

The Mall is now twice the size and has a fantastic choice of shops and food and parking.

It's a good mall, but not great. Well tauranga is just a small city after all. Hopefully there will be expansions in the future due to the rising population.

Waffles breakfast just scrumptious thanks, shopped at Kathmandu thanks found exactly what I was looking for cheers

Really nice open space with great selection of shops, food etc.

Getting better and better nice to have an actual mall not just a square of shops

Loved this place. Lots of people chill out together

Nice place. Good product. Wide variety of product. Slashed prices. Got good discount from Kathmandu. Nice Coffee and Smoothies. Massive Kmart

Cool mall, a bit dirty in places but loads of cool shops and fun things to do with friends

Awesome place if you want to eat and have a walk around the mall. The people are very friendly and helpful.

All good

Love going here it's a big mall and has everything u want if u don't need to go to Tauranga

Nice place but I don't go there anymore unless I really need to because the bus doesn't stop out front any more. Needs more signs to help direct where the exits are.

Undercover shopping mall. Currently being renovated so not all stores open. Food court offerS a good range of food . Can't wait to the cinema opens at baycourt

Ever expanosing mall with a huge array of stores. Spacious thoroughfare without to many central stalls to navigate. Clean toilets and plenty of parking

Overcrowd very poor service served with worse toasted cheese and ham sandwich I have ever had in any travel I have done to 13 different country's I have visit and NO one wanted to take responsibility spoilt our planned visit on a beautiful day. Not a good morning at Bayfair Shopping Centre Tauranga. Saturday 31st. MARCH.

I enjoyed shopping here. Plenty of choice when shopping for clothes for all ages. Love K Mart especially when hv grand children. Plenty of parking

The food hall could do with more vegan options, but other than that, a good sized mall. Not too big!!!

A great place to shop. Clean and tidy too. Shops appeared to be well stocked and staff were helpful and friendly.

Awesome food lots of things to see & do great place

Its ok. Went to have my nails done, but struggled to get mobility parking.

A lot of options, underground parking, ok to navigate.

R. W.

I always try to avoid this shopping center as it's really hyperactive with very difficult parking. On the plus side, it's nice inside with a pretty good selection of stores.

Nice mall but like any other mall in the country. Does have a great JB HiFi of you are into the electronics and gadgets. Other than that the stores are the same as everywhere else.

Free parking and WiFi great selection of shops can't wait for the new cinema

Food court bit expensive but nice clean mall with good shops

It is huge with plenty of shops

Great selection of shops. Plenty of seating. Loved it

I love coming here when traffic isn't bad. Great food court love the stores offer and facilities are always looked after well. Keep it up Bayfair

A lot of reconstruction at the moment but always excellent shopping and service here. Guards to greet you at the door and keep an eye on the carpark

Awesome place to go shopping, love it.

The best shopping in the Bay of Plenty. I have just completed a mamouth shopping spree on a budget and Bayfair Shopping Mall comes out "number one" for quality items together with fabulous bargains.

Something for everyone under 1 roof. If you dont do crowds i suggest you go to another place 🤣😂

Excellent new mall. good brands to choose from. Lots of parking and clean.

Got everything you need...

UsuL mall shops but the whole place feels clean and lots of space. Enjoyable place to visit. Good for a walking workout!! 😉

Great place awesome staff

Good shop, and variety of food, people always friendly.

Whether food, clothes, tech or just wandering around, Bayfair gives you all the choice you need, United cinema now open at Bayfair mall

I spend $1000 here... that's a bit of a problem but it's worth it here. I did all of my Christmas shopping here and definitely saved a lot of money even though I bought gifts of good quality and value.

Just meh. Nice place to eat at main entrance though.

Really a nice place to visit for almost all of your shopping needs...

I love Bayfair Mall fabulous shops and eateries something for everyone

Lots of parking A good range of different shops. Great staff and food selection Fun for the kids. Kmart is the best!!

Great place to visit caters for everyone plenty of food outlets to choose from air condition so very comfortable in this weather..

So big now! Perfect for major store shopping with Kmart and Countdown for convenience and a good choice of eateries.

It was very nice but I wish their were more shops

Bayfair shopping centre is great place to do shopping with your family. It’s fun.

A. V.

Huge mall for a small town. Not crowded. Lots of shops and a food court. All shops close by 6 pm except the food courts on weekdays except friday.

Great Shops AND Info Centre to assist with all my shopping needs

Great refurb with more to come! Much needed with all the development that has happened over the years. Shops to cater to all the family.

Not a huge mall, but good enough to get most things you want or need, has a food court and late nights Thursday and Friday, open 7 days, and has heaps of outdoor parking and a 3 story parking building, all free to park.

Lovely array of shops, clean and tidy too.

Clean and plenty of shops to choose from. Too many asians for my liking. They always get in your personal space

Surprisingly enjoyed our shopping and excherion here. Usual businesses there but great range.

C. A.

Originally pretty small for a shopping centre but is doubling in size with construction ongoing. Very good food court.

Getting thru the traffic to get there is a pain but once there it's ok. Food court always busy. Not enough nice coffee & cake places though.

Went to the newish dining quadrant for dinner. It's an awesome spot for a drink and or great food.

s. m.

Lots of changes going on but looking really good so far. All your typical shops like other malls

Typical big mall but was spacious and good variety of stores.

It's so much better now they've opened stage 2. Can't wait for stage 3 and the cinemas!

Watch your prices, this is what brings people back.

Has lots of shops but is usually very crowded and the road works in front dont make it easier to get there

Good variety of stores and food outlets and large amount of parking. Easy to drive to and find

Great shopping but not sure why most shops close so early.

This is an awesome shopping centre with all you need in one place. Excellent shopping experience every time.

Just amazing after extension.... Everything you could ever want in one location.

L. W.

Has everything you need in one place. Relatively easy parking except through peak season (Christmas/new year) when you just have to be a bit patient.

There's always good vibes at bay fair mall I like coming here to shop when I'm in tauranga. There is a good variety of food at the mall and clothing shops any mall with a kmat is great

Great mall good variety of shops and good eating places

Heaps of parking and loads of shops and new outdoor food venues

Fabulous shopping & rest area from the shoppinb 😂😂 thanks Bayfair 💕

Great place . Has a pretty good food court.heaps of shops. Parking can be bit of a issue sometimes.

Very helpful staff and you can even get jacket potatoes from "carve it up"

Lovely place to shop and have a cuppa or a quick bite with friends while shopping.

Hard to find a park.

Plenty of shopping very pleasant lots to choose from something for everyone

It's a mall, if you like shopping it could be a 5 star. But for people who don't enjoy crouds it'd be best to find your stores elsewhere

Nice... But car park sizes are too small... Lots of people drive SUV type vehicles! 🙄

Always clean,bright,fun and nice coffee out back carpark, relaxed shopping

Good Spot for shopping, and also for lowkey losing your missus by "Accident". Ignore the text messages and calls ...and head over to Imbibe for a brew!

Good sized Mall with plenty of space and area to have a walking workout. Pleasant ambiance and plenty of folk shopping and eating.

Huge place eith a good variety of shops. Plenty of parking. Good size food court

Just love this place, has everything I need

Was just there for the food! Food court was pretty good - good selection!

The new upgrade is awesome. With the extra shops and Time zone entertainment it's made the trip from Bethlehem worth it

Great improvement since the renovations nice to have some different shops

Much bigger than expected

It’s such a massive shopping centre with heaps of shops in there , for cheap clothes and cosmetic , food court everything you could able to find in this massive shopping centre

Has every thing I need there and heaps of parking got things to do for kids and as a family nice food places

Great for shopping.

Parking can be a problem with this busy place, hopefully the expansion adds some relief to that part, but can usually find what I need here. Could be better, but not much better.

Good place for shopping and a meal love the whole new renovation that have been done

If you need a Mall in Mt Maunganui, this is the place to go. The Mall also hosts Tauranga / Mt Maunganui's only electric car fast charging station, with dedicated car parks on the ground floor of the multi-story car park. (At time of writing - 17/01/17)

Needs a plant shop OK I'm a gardener

N. Z.

Sometimes a bit busy for my liking but great for business. Also lots of shop changes. Great food court

Probably the best shopping around the area, had most things you could want. Major traffic works out front created the biggest traffic jam since the last one

Clean, bright, modern, easy to reach location and parking, smallish but comprehensive range of shops - everything you need and nothing you don't.

Great place timezone was a cool place for kids, pretty cheap to,heaps of parking, and 5 minutes away from the mount .Mount Manganui I mean..

Loved my first visit to mayfair in my power chair. So easy to get around. And staff so helpful

Great shopping complex with lots of variety.

It has all the major chains of stores you will need in terms of products and food. Worth a visit if you need to shop around.

A lovely centre with plenty of variety in a shopping experience. Always clean and tidy from our experience

Great shopping complex, that's if you are into shopping, which I'm afraid I personally don't enjoy. But yes a great closed in area

Relatively large shopping centre with a nice selection of stores and electric vehicle chargers

Excellent all in one.

Nice cool place to shop in the middle of Summer, great brands everything you need here in one place.

A wide range of shops with different price ranges. Many stores (particular farmers) outshine their counterparts in the CBD. Rather crowded at times but thats to be expected

Good selection of shops and cafes. Well kept and clean

Always great to come here shopping or banking n meeting friends. It has changed a lot, but in a good way.

Really good mix of shops and the toilet facilities for young families are perfect. Best I've ever seen

Nice place to shop and get something to eat it's a pity it hasn't got a pack and save and a New world super market and a warehouse it's got a whitcoulls so that's good and my son work's there.
