Bringing Convenience to Pāpāmoa East
Nestled in the charming seaside community at the eastern end of Pāpāmoa Beach, the Excelsa Centre has a variety of stores and services that offer health & beauty, restaurants & cafés, a supermarket, office space, a cinema and pet care. Perfectly situated within walking distance from the beach, our community hub combines convenience with leisure. With plenty of parking and easy access, Excelsa Centre continues to be the cornerstone of stress-free shopping since 2018.
The Pōhutukawa — Metrosideros Excelsa
With Pōhutukawa — Metrosideros Excelsa trees dotted around Golden Sands and all over our incredible coastline, Excelsa Centre was named to reflect its unique location just a few steps to the beach and how it enables our community to come together and celebrate our incredible coastal lifestyle here in Pāpāmoa Beach. To have such a great locally owned and operated community hub within Golden Sands truly allows us all to make the most of why we call this place home.
