About Bayswater, Auckland

Bayswater is a locality in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. It sits at an elevation of around 27 m above sea level. It lies approximately 4 km north-northeast of Auckland, the regional capital. Bayswater is located at 36.8156°S, 174.7733°E. It observes New Zealand Time (NZST/NZDT).

Bayswater unfurls along a gentle slope, its residential streets fanning out from a quiet commercial core. It lies 2.7 km south-east of North Shore (from North Shore: bearing 130°T), and is situated 3.8 km north-north-east of Auckland. The land here is a soft tapestry of rolling lawns and mature trees, a subtle undulation that hints at the broader, more dramatic contours of the land further afield. To the east, the shimmering expanse of Ngataringa Bay lies a mere kilometre away, its tides dictating a slow, patient rhythm that can be felt even inland, a whisper of salt and distant seabirds carried on the breeze. The air itself often carries a clean, bright quality, particularly after a rain, a freshness that seems to emanate from the very soil and the distant, unseen waters.

This locality, while seemingly tranquil, carries the quiet hum of a long-established community, its foundations laid in a time when the shores of Ngataringa Bay were a more central focus for trade and transport. The local economy has long been tied to the sea, though now more in the spirit of leisure and recreation than heavy industry, with a strong contingent of families whose lives are still oriented towards the water. Bayswater’s distinctive character is perhaps best captured in its understated residential charm, a place where the pace of life feels measured, allowing for the appreciation of small beauties – the way sunlight filters through the broad leaves of a pohutukawa in summer, or the quiet satisfaction of a well-tended garden.

About This Bayswater Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bayswater, Auckland, New Zealand at coordinates -36.81556, 174.77333. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
