Hobsonville Point Walkway Description

This walk is full of interesting views and experiences.

Start the walk from Catalina Cafe , next to the beautiful Hobsonville Point Park and then meander your way around the newly developed streets. The busy footpaths soon give-way to a coastal track which leads you around Hobsonville Point. The track is generally very wide and is in very good condition.

Views of the harbour and back to Auckland City in the distance are both stunning and plentiful. There are areas of grass fields and native bush enroute, particularly Onekiritea Park.

Once past Harrier Point Park the coastal walk takes in the Hobsonville Ferry Terminal precinct with its facilities and then tracks alongside recent housing developments. It is a fascinating mix of ‘the new’ alongside beautiful water views and two historic homes.

Chichester Cottage is a quaint old cottage built by Doug and Audrey Mill around 1927. Mill House, originally known as ‘Windover’, was built in the early 1930’s by prominent Auckland Architect George Tole for the Mill’s. Follow the links to find out more information.

This walkway is very easy and excellent underfoot, great for buggies, wheelchairs and bikes. There is a good playground at Hobsonville Point Park where the walk starts and another (only a flying fox and tyre swing) at Harrier Point.

Buggies and Wheelchairs

This walkway is excellent for wheelchairs, buggies and bikes. It is very flat overall, with minimal rise and fall plus the track is paved 95%+ of the way.
