First Impressions

Titahi Bay is a peninsula suburb located to the north of the Porirua city centre. The suburb is 1 km long, with rugged cliffs and a crescent-shaped beach looking out to the Marlborough Sounds. Titahi Bay is a popular destination for water sports and weekend getaways – a true coastal escape just 20 minutes away from Wellington City!

With its iconic boat sheds, bustling beachfront, and al fresco eateries, Titahi Bay is a suburb with a real seaside spirit.

Local residents are always within walking distance of the beach, and never miss an opportunity to go swimming, surfing, kayaking, or boogie boarding; those lucky enough may even spot some penguins paddling in the bay! Titahi Bay is exceptionally family-friendly, with multiple primary and intermediate schools, five parks, and a public library.

Home to 4,500 residents, Titahi Bay is a village-like suburb with a close-knit community of families, homebuilders, and retirees. The suburb is the epitome of a relaxed and beachy lifestyle, with surfers and small business owners coexisting alongside artists and young professionals. With views so magnificent that they have to be seen to be believed, Titahi Bay is not one to be missed.
