This walk in Auckland, takes us from the ridge of Remuera Village,  down to the edge of Hobson Bay walkway, onto a boardwalk amongst the mangroves via reserves and the Remuera mansions. You really get to know a city when you walk – we miss so much when we travel by car. This walk reveals some hidden Auckland gems.

Waiata Reserve is tucked in between Victoria Avenue and Orakei Road – a beautiful large space –  this is a dog friendly walk with an off-leash area.

Cafe Greenfingers at Palmers Garden Centre on Shore Road is a great little cafe – the coffee is very good and so is the food.

This walk is one to do if fitness is a criteria – there is a decent uphill.  It can also be done in all weathers as all the paths are paved.

Hello Pamela,
Apologies for my slow response, I had a busy weekend.
I am sorry as much as would love to, I don’t give away all my walks for free (hopefully one day I will find an advertising sponsor who will cover my costs).
You can purchase my map and detailed route from the shopping cart at this link http://walksinauckland.com/store/walks-in-auckland-central/

(we give away our maps now)

Best wishes,
