Kauri Glen Reserve

Such a great reserve for a stroll and the advantage about this walk is that it isn’t too huge or overwhelming. The main attraction is of course the bridge which the kids love. There are a few other entrances and exits into this reserve so do check out the options to see which would suit you best in terms of travel direction etc. Parking can be slightly challenging on a busy day as they are mostly on street parking, so do be prepared to walk if you’ve got a slot further than expected.

Such a beautiful area of bush ao close to the city! The new walkway is very accessible, with good grip and gives a great view of the Kauri tops. A great wild urban adventure for all ages.

What a little gem hidden in the valley! This reserve became extremely popular after the overlook bridge was built. The view is totally different from above. The whole reserve is not big with 4 entrances if I get it right. The distance to walk to all the entrances is about 3km in total. There are kauri dieback sprays at all entrances. The dieback disease is a clear and present danger for these young giants. Please do look after them.

Definitely you will find mental peace here. The people near the area are really lucky to have such a great place hidden with nature. I found much needed mental peace escaping away from the hustle and bustle.

Kauri Glen Reserve: Auckland's secret paradise and a total must-visit! Trust me on this one, it's all good! #KauriGlenReserve #AucklandCBD #HiddenGem #NZMustDo #ForestFinds
