    Great place for a view of Auckland coast to coast. There is a bunch of new walks and board walks around the top. There is a great loop track around the stone fields lake below too that can all be included for around a 6km walk. Easy to have a picnic around the top or many other locations around the Mt.

    Mt Wellington is fantastic place for walk with a view, right next to the Panmure train station. I go every night after work and it offers a challenging uphill, and open grassland to play in, a summit to conquer, and a tremendous view across to the city.

    Really nice and scenic place. Looking through layers of cloud and overseeing the lake and basin give your peaceful mind and reset

    A natural treasure of Auckland and NZL. You can get on it from mountain road. About 30min to summit. A lot of new houses down being built which indicates the progression of the city. Maybe one day houses will be built on the mountain? Who knows

    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 ^_^

    It looks very average from the outside. But after climbing up, it's really amazing. Much better than I thought. There is a sacred crater in the centre where it is not allowed to enter. Can have 360 degree view and kids can do grass slide, I think.

    Easy to walk up. Roads are not as steep as Mt Eden. Beautiful scenery can be spotted from above. City view is really amazing. Can pack dinner to eat above. Dustbin is available there for rubbish. After that you may enjoy sunset view around 8pm.
