Little Manly rests where the land gently slopes towards the Waiau Bay, a kilometre or so distant, its contours softened by time and the persistent, salt-kissed breeze. It lies 19.1 km north of North Shore (from North Shore: bearing 0°T), and is situated 10.8 km north-north-east of Albany. The air here carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and the distant tang of the sea, a subtle perfume that mingles with the sweet, fleeting fragrance of unseen blossoms in the neighbouring gardens. Rolling hills, cloaked in a patchwork of emerald lawns and the deep green of native bush, rise and fall in a gentle undulation, their crests catching the diffused Auckland light. The physical character of Little Manly is one of quiet suburban embrace, where houses are interspersed with pockets of verdant growth, and the sense of the wider Hauraki Gulf, though not directly visible, is a constant, atmospheric presence.

This particular locality, Little Manly, has a history that whispers of early settlers drawn by the promise of coastal proximity and fertile ground, though its economic heart beats with a quieter rhythm than the bustling centres further afield. The local economy is largely sustained by the daily ebb and flow of residents who commute to neighbouring hubs, their lives interwoven with the simple pleasures of a well-established residential area. While not a hub of major industry, the area benefits from its proximity to Long Bay Regional Park, a cherished green lung that draws weekend visitors seeking respite and recreation. The spirit of Little Manly is one of understated community, a place where the pace of life allows for a recognition of the small beauties – the way the late afternoon sun paints the eaves of houses in warm hues, or the contented chirping of unseen birds in the dense foliage of the Okura Bush Walkway, a mere five kilometres away.

About This Little Manly Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Little Manly, Auckland, New Zealand at coordinates -36.62819, 174.75019. 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.
