Athenree sits at the northern tip of Tauranga Harbour, right on State Highway 2 between Katikati and Waihi Beach. It's a small, relaxed coastal community and for residents here, selling a vehicle privately can be slow going. Trade Me doesn't bring buyers to your door. We do.

Athenree is a small coastal settlement on the northern shores of Tauranga Harbour, where State Highway 2 from Auckland first brushes the harbour on its way down to Tauranga city. Named in 1878 by Irish settlers after Athenry in County Galway, the area has long been a place of passage and quiet beauty known today for its hot springs holiday park, wetland walking tracks, and the broad tidal flats of the upper harbour.
With a population of around 900, Athenree draws a mix of permanent residents and holiday visitors, particularly those en route between Auckland and the Bay of Plenty. The area lies within the Western Bay of Plenty District and sits in the Katikati-Waihi Beach Ward, roughly 10–15 minutes from both Katikati and Waihi Beach by car.
For locals here, offloading a vehicle that's reached the end of its life or just one that's no longer needed can be tricky. The population is small, the nearest large town is Katikati, and towing a wrecked vehicle any distance adds cost and hassle. Cash for Cars Tauranga removes all of that. We drive to Athenree, pay you well, and take the vehicle at our expense.
Call us or fill in our online form no obligation, no pressure. We'll give you a fast, fair cash offer for your Athenree vehicle, with free towing included.
