Mount Wellington

I checked out Mount Wellington the other day, the view from the top is seriously amazing! You can see pretty much all of Auckland, like, literally sprawling out beneath you.nIt's a bit of a huff and puff to get up there, but totally worth it for that Insta-worthy panorama.nJust a heads up, though: it can get CRAZY windy up top. And it can be chilly even when it's sunny down below, so bring a jacket or something. Oh, and pack some water, because you'll work up a thirst on the way up.nAnother thing – the car park is tiny. Like, maybe 8-10 cars max. If you go on a weekend, get there early or you might miss out. And speaking of missing out, don't even think about going if it looks like rain. There's absolutely nowhere to shelter, you don't want to be trekking back down that hill in a downpour.nOne last thing: that volcanic crater is seriously steep. If you've got little ones or anyone who's a bit wobbly on their feet, you'll want to keep a close eye on them. If you're up for a mini-adventure with a killer view, Mount Wellington is the place to be.

Stayed in the area for a week so decided to take a hike up the mountain. It's really good for one of those afternoon walks. You'll be able to get a good glimpse of the city especially with the sunset. Highly recommend visiting the mountain if you're in the area.

I have been here a few times, but not for a while. It's a bit of a hike to the top, as there is no vehicle access, but it's worth it for the views.nI went on a public holiday, so it was a bit busy, but not crowded. The place is very well kept, but all the facilities are at the bottom, so be prepared.nOn a good day, you can see for miles, with views all around the city.

I like the place as it has really great views of whole auckland kind of. Nice walk

This is a stunning, beautiful 360° look of the immense city of Auckland as well as the enormous crater in the middle. I loved being here, the landscape is unique for me and the best way to start my trip to New Zealand ^_^
