Itinerary

  1. One of Auckland region's 14 Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains). At 196m tall, Maungawhau or Mount Eden is the highest volcano in Auckland. From the summit, you can enjoy spectacular views of the city and its harbours.

    1.5 h

  2. Cornwall Park is the largest volcanic park in Auckland. sir John Logan Campbell gifted Cornwall park to New Zealand in 1901 Lots of Aucklanders are going to this park for picnic, and BBQ. There are lots of sheeps and cows in the park. Those animals are owned by the council.  With more than 350 species and 8000 trees, Cornwall park is paradise for tree lovers!

    1.5 h

  3. Situated in the gently rolling country of east Auckland. This is one of New Zealand's best known gardens, characterised by sweeping lawns and informal but detailed paintings by ponds and waterways. A strong but sensitive use of colour is a hallmark of Ayrlies seen best in the lurid border where 'hot' colours are used to great effect and in other areas where old roses, clematis and perennials are combined in romantic profusion. The Garden now covers some 4 hectares of rolling terrain, with large lawns, ponds and waterfalls. Now over 50 years the garden is nearing maturity. Trees and shrubs form a changing backdrop for the garden. View lines to the Hauraki Gulf and within the garden are preserved with careful arboriculture. A large Ayrlies Wetland area links the garden to the sea.

About Auckland

Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, spreads across an isthmus between two harbours, dotted with volcanic cones, beaches and island-studded bays.

The Sky Tower rises above the central city and the waterfront, where the Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter are lined with restaurants and yachts, fitting Auckland's nickname, the City of Sails. Mount Eden and One Tree Hill, two of the many volcanic cones scattered across the city, give panoramic views.

Top-ranked sights in Auckland: Auckland Harbour Bridge, Waiheke Island, North Head Historic Reserve (Maungauika).
