# Kitchens in Orewa, Auckland

*23+ years in trade · 2,000+ kitchens supplied & installed across Auckland · Laminex NZ fabricator*

MTN Kitchens designs, manufactures and installs kitchens right across Orewa and the wider Hibiscus Coast. We are an Auckland kitchen manufacturer with our own workshop in East Tamaki, which means you deal with the people who actually build your kitchen, not a showroom middleman. Supply and install come under one contract and one invoice, so there is no juggling separate cabinetmakers and installers.

Because we sell at trade prices with no showroom markup, Orewa homeowners often pay considerably less than they would through a traditional kitchen company while still getting top-quality cabinetry and benchtops. We have been doing this for more than 23 years and have built over 2,000 kitchens.

From beachfront apartments along the Orewa estuary to family homes in Millwater and the newer subdivisions climbing the hills, we cover the whole coast. Use our free online 3D designer to lay out your space, and we will have a detailed quote back to you within 24 hours.

## What we do in Orewa

### Renovations for established Orewa homes

Plenty of Orewa's 1970s-90s brick-and-tile and weatherboard homes still have their original kitchens. We replace tired, closed-off layouts with open-plan kitchens that make the most of coastal light and indoor-outdoor flow.

### New builds in Millwater & Silverdale

We work alongside owners and builders on the new subdivisions spreading through Millwater, Silverdale and Wainui, supplying and fitting kitchens that suit modern open-plan living without the new-build price premium.

### Rentals & holiday homes

Orewa has a strong rental and bach market near the beach. We build hard-wearing, easy-clean kitchens in durable melteca finishes that landlords and holiday-home owners can rely on between tenants and guests.

### Infill homes & one-off builds

For builders and owners putting up a one-off infill home or townhouse on the Hibiscus Coast, we build the kitchen to your plans in our own workshop and fit it on schedule, with trade pricing that keeps the build budget in check.

## Local context

Orewa is a coastal town on the Hibiscus Coast, around 30 minutes north of our East Tamaki workshop via the Northern Motorway and the Johnstone's Hill tunnels. Its housing is a real mix: older beachside baches and 1960s-80s homes close to the estuary and main beach, a band of brick-and-tile family homes through the established residential streets, and a wave of newer building in Millwater, Wainui and along the western hills where younger families and downsizers have moved in.

The older stock near the water often has compact, dated kitchens that were never designed for the way people live now. The most common job here is opening things up: removing a wall or peninsula, adding an island, and bringing in benchtop space and storage that suits both everyday family life and entertaining over summer. Salt air and coastal humidity also mean finishes and hardware matter, so we spec accordingly.

In the newer Millwater and Silverdale homes, kitchens tend toward larger open-plan footprints with scullery or butler's pantries, engineered stone benchtops and handleless or shaker cabinetry. Across both ends of the coast, our trade pricing lets people put their budget into the things that last rather than into a showroom's overheads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do you cover Orewa and the rest of the Hibiscus Coast?

Yes. We install right across Orewa, Millwater, Silverdale, Wainui, Red Beach and the wider Hibiscus Coast, as well as the whole Auckland region. It's about a 30-minute run from our East Tamaki workshop up the Northern Motorway.

### How much does a new kitchen in Orewa cost?

It depends on size, layout and finishes, but because we manufacture in-house and sell at trade prices with no showroom markup, our kitchens are often significantly cheaper than a typical Auckland kitchen company. Send us your plans through the 3D designer and we'll give you an exact quote within 24 hours.

### How long does the work take?

Most kitchens are installed within 5-7 days once we're on site. From your first quote through design, manufacture and install, we'll give you a clear timeline so you know exactly what to expect.

### Can you update an older home near the beach?

Absolutely. A lot of our Orewa work is opening up dated kitchens in older estuary-side and beachfront homes, removing walls or peninsulas and adding islands. We also spec finishes and hardware suited to coastal conditions.

### Do you do kitchens for rentals and holiday homes?

Yes. We build hard-wearing, easy-clean kitchens in durable melteca finishes that suit Orewa's strong rental and bach market, and that landlords and holiday-home owners can rely on between tenants and guests.

### What benchtops and finishes can I choose?

Benchtops range from laminate through to engineered and natural stone, and door finishes include 2-pac (painted), melteca and timber. We'll help you match durable, good-value options to how you use your kitchen and to the coastal setting.
