Bayfair is also known for being the first shopping mall built in Tauranga.

The rear of the shopping centre backs onto Farm Road, and Jackson Street and Harris Street are located to the side of the building.

Bayfair has three anchor stores: Countdown, Kmart and Farmers.

Farmers is the only part of the shopping centre (other than the carpark) to be on more than one floor.

[4][3] Included in the development was a new cinema with 1,300 seats, and a new Countdown supermarket.
