    A very pleasant walk is from Mount Victoria to North Head along King Edward Parade and Torpedo Bay. You follow the road, but within minutes this becomes little more than an access road for the homes built along the shoreline.

    Catch a ferry ride over to fair Devonport and be charmed by its rustic and debonair beauty. Time slows down and even takes a step backwards in Devonport. The atmosphere is totally relaxing. The urban jungle and its rat race is totally absent from Devonport. Take a leisure hike up steep Mount Victoria to see the Auckland Skyline as well as the surrounding Auckland area. Capture a 180 degrees panoramic shot of unblocked Auckland from on top of Mount Victoria and bring home the peaceful serenity that Devonport has to offer.

  • Directions: Across harbour bridge or by ferry. It is easier to purchase a 2-way ticket on the ferry from Queens Wharf and make the crossing.

    Coming back from Devonport by ferry after sunset gives you the city skyline by night.

    Devonport is a nice little town over the harbour bridge. Beautiful peaceful little towns with cafe strips and art galleries. I spent half a day here wondering around the markets and shops and there are beaches on the other side for swimmers.

    Devonport is only several minutes drive away and also can be reached by ferry from Prince's Wharf in downtown Auckland, but it offers Victorian charm and village-like atmosphere to visitors. Devonport is small enough to explore by foot. We walked its Victoria Road, main street leading from the ferry wharf. From the ferry wharf we can see Auckland skyline at its best. For a stunning 360` view panoramas of Devonport, we drove to the vantage point of Mt. Victoria.

  • Devonport is very pretty and peaceful. Nice cafes and shops. Especially the second hand book shops are cool! Good for chill out and to take pictures of Aucklands skyline. Even the ferry trip is nice and cost only $ 4 (adult).

    Devonport: Great place to spend a 1/2 day to a day

  • It was really cold when we were in aukland...and on this particular day...there was not a lot open...but it was fun to take the 20 min ferry over ...and the town was quiant and cute. I ended up finding a shop with pure wool sweaters (jumpers)...for a great price..which was a perfect souveniour...and something I needed for the cold weather. It was also a great place to stop and have coffee... I'm sure if it's warm the place is buzzing....but it was nice even without a lot of places open...

    Just 10 minutes across the bay by ferry is Devonport (ferries leave every 15 minutes), a cute suburb on the southern tip of the North Shore peninsula. The main street (Victoria St) runs up from the ferry to the volcanic cone of Mount Victoria. Its a cute low-rise building place packed with cafes, restaurants, craft and book shops, and although obvioulsy aimed primarily at tourists, it doesn't have that overly commercialised feel to it (partly to do with the fact that loal residents also use the places),

    North Head itself is little more than a series of wooden barrack huts and a few old guns from WW1 & WWII, but it offers some great views over the surrounding bay and back towards Auckland.
