Westfield Manukau

Westfield Manukau is the main shopping destination in South Auckland, serving the local community with a practical mix of retail, dining, and recreational options. While it covers a decent footprint with around 167 stores, it feels relatively small and a bit dated compared to Auckland’s larger and more modern malls like Sylvia Park or Westfield Newmarket. The mall hasn’t seen major redevelopment since 2007, and it shows—many areas are in need of a refresh to keep up with changing retail trends. Still, it covers the essentials well, with anchor stores like Farmers, JB Hi-Fi, The Warehouse, and a Woolworths formerly Countdown providing a solid grocery and retail offering. The food court includes over 30 outlets, featuring a variety of cuisines alongside big-name chains like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Starbucks, making it easy to grab a bite while shopping. Entertainment options like Event Cinemas and a kids’ play area help keep families entertained, while amenities like parents’ rooms and Kiddie Kruzzers make it a family-friendly spot. Parking is a strong point, with over 2,100 spaces available, and the mall is well connected by public transport, located close to the Manukau Bus Station and train services. While Westfield Manukau may not offer the flashiest experience, it remains a reliable and accessible choice for locals—though a long-overdue revamp would go a long way in revitalizing its appeal.

love this mall. down fall is the play area for the kids. I have two littles and after being at the mall shopping and having lunch you want to take your littles to have their time to run around. my goodness the play area is not that great. Its barely a playground, no proper slide tho its new. The person who designed it probably didnt bother. I notice sylvia and botany malls, plus northshore malls O see online they have nice indoor playground but come to southside its like they don't bother with the inside playground. The super center playground is also just a simple play area compare to other areas of auckland. this picture is the play area in the mall, like is this meant to be a slide? it doesnt do much. my kids were not entertained for long. BORING

While we were eating, my cousin broke a chair and was almost in tears from embarrassment. We’re from Australia and we’re heading back now but just wanted to thank the beautiful brown girl in the brown dress. She made sure he was okay and said, “The chair is replaceable, but you’re not.”nThat really helped him feel better. Thank you for being so kind — is she single? Asking for a friend

Great Mall situated in the heart of Manukau city.nHave great varieties of shops and eateries to cater for different tates and preferences.nLots of free parking too.

This place is not to be trusted. They did not show me a NO REFUND POLICY when I was tricked to buy hair products for hair lose. Very cunning operators.
