Kitchens in Devonport, Auckland | MTN Kitchens
23+ years in trade · 2,000+ kitchens supplied & installed across Auckland · Laminex NZ fabricator
Devonport is one of our further afield suburbs - a straight run up the Southern Motorway and over the Harbour Bridge from our East Tamaki workshop - but the drive is no barrier. When you choose MTN Kitchens you are dealing with the people who actually make your kitchen, not a showroom that pockets a margin and sends the job out to a subcontractor.
We have been manufacturing and installing kitchens in Auckland for over 23 years, more than 2,000 of them, all built in our own workshop. Because we cut out the showroom markup and buy our sheet and stone at trade, you get a better-built kitchen for less than you would pay at a retail chain - and you deal with one team from design to the day the bench goes in.
Start with our free online 3D designer to get a feel for your layout, and we will turn your plan into a firm, itemised quote within 24 hours. Once you give us the go-ahead, most kitchens are manufactured and installed within 5 to 7 days on site, with our own Site Safe team handling the fit-out.
What we do in Devonport
Reworking the villa scullery kitchen
So many Devonport villas still have the original kitchen tucked into a small lean-to or scullery at the back of the house. We reconfigure these into a proper working kitchen - often opening through to a dining or living space - with Shaker-style cabinetry and timber detailing that reads as if it has always belonged in the home.
Character bungalow kitchens
The 1920s and 30s bungalows through Vauxhall and Stanley Bay usually need cabinetry that respects the period without feeling like a museum. We build painted 2-pac Shaker fronts, add a freestanding-look island or a butler's pantry, and hide the modern appliances so the room keeps its character.
Heritage-sensitive renovations
Much of Devonport sits under a special character or heritage overlay, so the design has to sit comfortably with the age of the home. We design layouts and finishes - profiled doors, timber benchtops, classic colour palettes - that suit a heritage house while giving you a hard-wearing, everyday kitchen underneath.
Coastal home rebuilds and full renovations
Around Cheltenham and Narrow Neck there are plenty of renovated and rebuilt seaside homes where owners want a clean, high-end kitchen. For these we build open-plan layouts with large islands, engineered stone benchtops and integrated appliances that make the most of the light and the view.
Local context
Devonport is one of Auckland's oldest suburbs, and its housing shows it. The streets running off Victoria Road and up towards Mount Victoria and North Head are full of Victorian and Edwardian villas, many of them protected by the area's special character rules. These homes have wonderful bones but kitchens that were never designed for the way people cook and live today.
Around the edges of the village the mix broadens out - Californian bungalows through Vauxhall and Stanley Bay, and a run of renovated and rebuilt homes closer to Cheltenham Beach and Narrow Neck. It means no two jobs are the same, and a kitchen that suits a heritage villa on Cambridge Terrace is a very different brief to a rebuilt home overlooking the water.
We are based across the harbour in East Tamaki, so Devonport is a longer trip for us than our eastern suburbs, but we cover the whole of Auckland and the North Shore is well travelled ground for our install team. The distance makes no difference to the price or the timeline - your kitchen is still built in our workshop and installed by our own crew.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Devonport and the surrounding suburbs?
Yes. We are based in East Tamaki and cover the whole of Auckland, including Devonport and the neighbouring suburbs - Cheltenham, Narrow Neck, Vauxhall, Stanley Bay, Belmont, Bayswater and across the wider North Shore. The drive over the Harbour Bridge makes no difference to your price or timeline.
Can you renovate a kitchen in a heritage or character villa?
Absolutely - it is a lot of what we do in Devonport. We design cabinetry and finishes, like Shaker-style 2-pac doors, timber benchtops and classic colour palettes, that suit the age of the home while giving you a modern, hard-wearing kitchen underneath. We are happy to work in with any special character requirements on the house.
How much does a new kitchen cost?
It depends on the size and finishes, but because we manufacture in our own workshop and buy at trade, you avoid the showroom markup you would pay at a retail chain. Send us your plans or use the free 3D designer and we will give you a firm, itemised quote within 24 hours so you know exactly where you stand.
How long does the whole process take?
Once your design and quote are locked in, most kitchens are manufactured and installed within 5 to 7 days on site. Heritage renovations that involve building or plumbing work can run longer, but we will set out a clear timeline before you commit.
What benchtops and finishes are popular in Devonport?
For heritage homes we do a lot of Shaker-style painted cabinetry in soft greens and off-whites, timber accents and butler's pantries. On coastal rebuilds it is more often engineered stone benchtops with clean, integrated open-plan layouts. As a Laminex NZ fabricator we can match a huge range of finishes to your home.
Do you handle both the manufacture and the installation?
Yes. We are a manufacturer and installer, not a showroom middleman. Your kitchen is built in our East Tamaki workshop and fitted by our own Site Safe install team, so you deal with one crew from the first drawing right through to the finished install.
