Nestled in the heart of Somerville, Meadowlands Shopping Centre is a trusted retail and community hub that’s catered to local needs for over 30 years.

Convenient location and accessibility

Strategically positioned within a five-minute drive of Cockle Bay, Shelly Park, Botany Downs and Dannemora, Meadowlands is perfectly situated for families and residents across east Auckland.

With more than 300 on-site parking spaces and multiple access points via Meadowlands Drive and Whitford Road, accessibility is effortless for drivers.

Public transport is also well catered to, with several nearby bus stops and routes stopping at the centre.

Store mix and anchor tenants

A cornerstone of the community, Meadowlands features more than 20 retail outlets offering everyday essentials and services.

The centre is anchored by a longstanding Woolworths (formerly Countdown) supermarket, which has served residents for nearly three decades, a testament to its reliability.

The AA Centre was a founding tenant and continues to reinforce the centre’s service-oriented focus.

The blend of specialty services, from food and beverage to beauty, health, and stationery, makes Meadowlands a versatile destination where many errands can be accomplished at once.

Design, amenities and community appeal

A thoughtful refurbishment about eight years ago revitalised the plaza, enhancing its appeal to both retailers and shoppers.

Today, Meadowlands is celebrated for its convenience and strong community presence, not a rival to large leisure-focused malls like Botany Town Centre, but rather a compact, purpose-driven hub where essential needs are easily met.

Hours and visitor experience

Most of its stores are open from 9am to 6pm daily, offering dependable access throughout the week.

The Woolworths supermarket extends hours dramatically, welcoming early risers and late shoppers alike from 8am to 10pm every day.

Free wi-fi and a welcoming atmosphere make Meadowlands not just convenient, but also comfortable and community-friendly.

Meadowlands Shopping Centre stands out as east Auckland’s dependable local mainstay.

Its prime location, essential services, and welcoming environment have kept it thriving for decades, making every trip there both efficient and enjoyable.
