Mangere Town Centre — Attraction in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu

No major issues with the mall, just wish council would hurry up and renevate the place.

Dont really shop much at the stores mostly if im picking stuff up from Countdown.

I am stick of the beggars always harrasing people for money, they dont take NO! for an answer and ocassionaly threaten you.

Ive been followed to my car by these people, that dont take no for an answer aswell, resulting im Police being called.

Unfortunately its not safe at night, when the nightclub is open late, people that cant get into the club (or have no intention of entering) hang around outside drinking, trying to make trouble with cars in the McDonalds Drive-Thru.

Other then a few bad exeriences, it has alot of things I can get, that I cant get at the normal malls.

It has potential, but right now, it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way to...

Always love this place when I go home, clean, cheap eats, friendly people, great vibes, Thursday they have the island jams rocking, and Zumba, where anyone can join in, or you can sit down and feast on chicken n chips from jollys, while watching lol - library is another one of my faves to hang out, they have ping pong table, piano, fun for the kids, seafood places are great, fresh esp mussels yum, and the bargain stores are a must, or even if you just want to get that island lavalava, tees, or whatever. If you after a stylist haircut, or even a new colour, the hairdressers across from the library is a must, friendly, great cust service, and even get your brows done, our #1 hairdresser when...
