Sightseeing

Beautiful coastal walk where you can start or end with coffee. As the old airbase, there are interesting historic sights along the way. Also great for cycling and there are also childrens play areas.

City advice

Getting around

Public Transport

Check out the journey planners on the Auckland Transport (AT) app or website for details of getting around. Buses, taxis and Uber are available nearby. There are ferries from Hobsonville or Westharbour, check out sailing times. Buses go to both ferry terminals.
Ways to save

Supermarkets

Food shopping can be expensive so here are two options for good value shopping: - Smart Supermarket at Royal Heights shops is a Chinese supermarket that sells reasonably priced vegetables. - Pak n Save at Westgate is reasonably priced for most things. If you have a car, you will get a $0.10 per liter discount voucher on petrol with your receipt. Petrol pumps are outside the car park.
