Bombay
Perched on the southern edge of Auckland, Bombay sits along the ridge of the Bombay Hills – marking the gateway into Franklin and the wider Waikato region. Known for its elevated position and sweeping views, Bombay is both a rural community and a key transit point along State Highway 1.
From the summit, expansive farmland stretches south across Franklin’s fertile plains, while Auckland lies to the north. The area blends lifestyle properties, native bush pockets and long-established farms with convenient motorway access, making it a distinctive meeting point between countryside and connection.
Bombay is not defined by a traditional main street, but by landscape and outlook. Scenic drives, walking tracks and rural vistas give the area its character, while nearby towns such as Pukekohe and Drury provide commercial hubs. For many, Bombay represents the threshold — the moment Auckland gives way to open space and Franklin begins.
