Mount Mainstreet is the main shopping area of Mount Maunganui, commonly known as “Downtown the Mount”.

The shopping centre is only 200 metres walking distance from the Port of Tauranga, where all the cruise ships berth. There is no need for passengers to board yet another bus or shuttle, because Downtown Mount Maunganui is only 5 minutes walk, and it’s open 7 days!

In Downtown the Mount you will discover nearly 200 shops and businesses. From boutique shops to surf wear, from exquisite souvenir and gift ware to childs’ wear. You’ll find anything from bookshop and banks to barbers and bakeries. There are bars, cafés and restaurants to cater for all tastes, all ages, all cultures and all budgets!

Tall phoenix palms provide a relaxed clean green environment for outdoor dining and relaxation, while warm smiling faces welcome you to this special part of paradise. Downtown the Mount is situated at the foot of Mount Maunganui (Mauao), from which the area takes its name. The land area of “The Mount” is a narrow peninsula that separates the sheltered waters of Tauranga Harbour and the pristine white sand beaches lapped by the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Just a short stroll from the shopping centre stands the majestic Mauao providing easy free walking tracks and a spectacular view of the eastern coastline from its summit. On the eastern side of the peninsula lie world recognised surf beaches and soft sand where many national and international water sports competitions take place.
