Kitchens in Remuera, Auckland
23+ years in trade · 2,000+ kitchens supplied & installed across Auckland · Laminex NZ fabricator
Remuera is one of Auckland's most established suburbs, and the kitchens here have a lot to live up to. From grand Edwardian and villa homes along Victoria Avenue and Remuera Road, to mid-century bungalows on the southern slopes and modern executive builds near the ridge, every street brings its own mix of character and expectation. MTN Kitchens designs, manufactures and installs kitchens across all of it.
We are an Auckland kitchen manufacturer with our own workshop in East Tamaki, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from Remuera along the Southern Motorway. Because we build your kitchen ourselves and install it ourselves, you deal with one team, one contract and one invoice. There is no showroom in the middle taking a cut, which is why our trade and wholesale pricing can land up to around 20 percent below what many Auckland kitchen companies quote for comparable work.
After 23-plus years and more than 2,000 kitchens, we know what a Remuera renovation needs: respect for the character of an older home, a finish that holds its value, and a process that does not drag on for weeks. Most installs are completed in 5 to 7 days, and we can have a quote back to you within 24 hours.
What we do in Remuera
Villa & character kitchen renovations
Many Remuera homes are villas, bungalows and Edwardian houses where the kitchen needs to honour high ceilings, scotia and timber detailing. We build 2-pac shaker and in-frame style kitchens that look at home in a period property while working like a modern one.
Family home renovations
On the leafier streets around Remuera and Meadowbank, busy family households want durable, low-maintenance kitchens with generous bench space and storage. We design hard-wearing layouts with engineered stone tops that take daily life in their stride.
Premium new builds & rebuilds
For the newer executive homes and full rebuilds going up across the suburb, we manufacture to architectural specifications with natural stone, timber veneers and integrated appliance cabinetry, all supplied and installed under one contract.
Landlord & investment property kitchens
Remuera has a strong rental and investment market. For landlords and property managers we offer smart melteca and laminate kitchens that present beautifully, install fast and keep the spend sensible between tenancies.
Local context
Remuera's housing stock spans more than a century. The flat lower streets and the slopes toward Hobson Bay are dominated by villas, Edwardian houses and 1920s-30s bungalows, often on substantial sites. These homes were built before open-plan living, so a large share of the kitchen work here involves opening up a tired galley or scullery into a proper family and entertaining space, while keeping the period character of the rest of the house intact.
Higher up toward the ridge and into pockets near Upland Road and Victoria Avenue, you also find substantial post-war and modern homes, plus a steady stream of full rebuilds and high-end new builds. Expectations are high: owners here are usually investing for the long term and want finishes and joinery that reflect the value of the property, whether that is hand-painted 2-pac, real timber veneer or natural stone.
Remuera is also a genuine mix of owner-occupiers, downsizers, renovators preparing to sell, and investors holding tenanted properties. That range is why we offer everything from a clean, cost-effective melteca rental kitchen through to a fully bespoke stone-and-timber design. Being only a short motorway run from our East Tamaki workshop, our team can get to site quickly for measure-ups, delivery and installation without the travel adding to your cost.
