Product Description

Mount Maunganui Wall Art — Tauranga, New Zealand

Between Mauao and the Pacific, Mount Maunganui's beach runs white sand and clear surf with the Bay of Plenty stretching bright to the horizon. This aerial photograph takes in a long sweep of that coastline from above — the endless-summer version of The Mount.

Mount Maunganui in full summer mode is infectious. The beach hums from early, the surf stays busy all day, and the whole town seems to operate in togs and jandals — with the cafes along Maunganui Road and the beach kitchens on Marine Parade full from breakfast onward.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera preserves sand texture, surf lines and the layered blues of the bay, sharp across every print size — holding the sparkle on the water that gives this frame its freshness.

Pure January joy

The bright, fresh palette lifts living rooms, bedrooms, baches and offices instantly. For anyone who spends summers in Tauranga, it's the season itself on a wall.

Kiwis keep voting this the country's best beach. Flying it in January, the vote makes complete sense.

Available as a fine art paper print or stretched canvas, with black, oak and white framing options across a full range of sizes. Every artwork in the Matthew Philip collection comes from his own aerial photographs of places he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Mount Maunganui in full summer mode is infectious. The beach hums from early, the surf stays busy all day, and the whole town seems to operate in togs and jandals.

I spent this flight working the drone along the shoreline, catching the sweep of white sand and the bay's bright layered blues in that clean Bay of Plenty light, with the cafes along Marine Parade already full below.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro holds the freshness of it all — the sparkle on the water, the texture of the sand — which is exactly what a print like this needs to carry. Kiwis keep voting this the country's best beach. Flying it in January, the vote makes complete sense.

Frequently asked questions

All canvas prints on this site are made to order—I print each one specifically for you using museum-quality materials, which means a 3–4 week production and delivery window within Australia. This isn't a warehouse clearance; it's a custom-made product crafted to last decades. If you're ordering before a specific date, get in touch and I can often prioritize your print. Free shipping applies Australia-wide, and you'll receive tracking so you know exactly when your piece is arriving.

Paper and poster prints ship much faster—typically 1-2 business days to anywhere in the world, with free international shipping included. If you need your aerial photography print urgently, this is the best option. The paper is archival-grade (same fade-resistant, professional-quality stock I use in gallery prints), so despite the quicker turnaround, you're not compromising on longevity.

Canvas prints ship ready to hang with your choice of frame style at checkout: black, white, or natural oak. Each frame is specifically designed to complement the composition of the aerial photography and arrives attached and ready to display. If you prefer an unframed print, that's available too—giving you the flexibility to source custom framing locally or match existing décor. Paper prints come unframed but can be ordered with frame recommendations included in your package.

Canvas prints are stretched across 390gsm acid-free poly-cotton matte canvas—the same archival-quality material used by professional galleries and museums for fine art. The inks are fade-resistant and non-toxic, rated for 100+ years without noticeable color shift when kept out of direct sunlight. Paper prints come in three finishes: matte (museum-grade), semi-gloss (vibrant), or fine art paper, all archival-rated. As a Perth-based aerial photographer who has shot every image on this site, I've invested in materials that will outlast the trends—your print is an investment in something that lasts.

Canvas and paper prints are low-maintenance. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight (which fades any print over decades) and humidity extremes. If dust settles on canvas, a soft, dry, lint-free cloth does the job—no cleaners needed. Paper prints benefit from framing behind glass or acrylic, which provides UV protection and makes them virtually maintenance-free. Both formats are designed to age gracefully; many customers report their prints looking exactly as vibrant 10+ years later.

I stand behind every print. If your canvas or paper print arrives damaged, the colors aren't right, or anything doesn't meet your expectations, contact me immediately with photos. I'll remake it or refund you—no questions, no process. This isn't just a returns policy; it's a commitment to your satisfaction. Email matt@matthewphilip.com and we'll resolve it within 48 hours.
