Oruaiti Reserve

A nice coastal track that also leads to Point Dorset. Good coastal views and suitable to all levels of fitness

Such a beautiful place with a small playground and public toilets and pretty beach. Great for kite surfing when the winds to the north. Some parts around the public toilets are wheelchair and strollers accessible

I’m only giving 4 stars, because there was a very grumpy bird telling the kids to shush while we were on a school trip. Fair enough, she was nesting…. But someone should tell her to tone it down if the reserve wants to get 5 star reviews.

A very nice secluded spot in the East cost bays in Wellington.nEasily approachable via public transport and road too.nThe views from the point are awesome and exceptional on a clear sunny day.nPoint Dorset and Fort Dorset are a part of this reserve.nThe walks to the point and down to Breakers Bay are enjoyable and require a normal fitness level.nThe large ships sailing through the Wellington harbour can be seen from here and present a great sight.nWell recommended for half a day trip and picnic.

Nice to get some sunshine in the winter. Took 2 dogs with us for this easy walk beside the sea. It is a fairly busy track with people and dogs enjoying the area. Comfy shoes are a must as the track is not completely smooth and for additional challenge there is a path up to the top of the hill.
