    . (11/2017) Located next to the transmission tower, this beautiful lookout can be easily spotted from the roadside. There is 2 minute walk to the lookout location and directions are provided from the parking location. The view of Auckland city is amazing from this corner of the Scenic drive. One can easily spot Sky Tower and Harbour Bridge. Seating and benches are provided at regular distances for taking rest and enjoying the views. Public restrooms are not available. Ample parking space. Wheelchair parking is available and entrance is wheelchair accessible. Worth visiting on a sunny day for a clear view.

    This has to be the highest east facing spot in Auckland, with good distant views of the city and suburbs on a clear day. One or two trees getting a bit tall and starting to hinder the view but overall still a worthwhile experience. Only 2 minutes to the lookout from the roadside parking, the track down to the lookout manageable for most, starting to need some maintenance though.

    Awesome place and great views to the city. A short 5 minute walk is needed to reach the lookout from the car park. This is nearby the TV transmission tower on the Waitakere ranges.

👍👍 Some of the best falls in Auckland with a short 5 min walk from the beach carpark (parking is very limited) just some helpful notes are that the road to the Falls are very narrow and you will have to stop and allow cars to pass in places. If you are not a confident driver you may find this intimidat...
