    Really nice area to chill out, hike and discover some nature. The trails are build very natural, mostly you are walking on natural paths to the forest. Unfortunately you cannot find any goof viewpoints because of the natural habit. A lot of trails are not allowed for biking, so either you push your bike or left it somewhere on the street.

    Beautiful place. There is something for everyone. Camping area, amazing beach, a variety of paths, native plants and birds. This park offers the opportunity to book events of different type (birthday parties, group activities, educational events...) We helped around and took part of the event Get into nature which was amazing as I was involved into preserving the nature and be more physically active. The area is quiet and offers the perfect space for relaxation and quality time with family and friends. If you come to Auckland-NZ you must not miss on Waiheke's Whakanewha Regional Park!

    Really nice walk near Batch Winery. Quite a few steps, but lovely walking through the tree ferns.

  • 4/5 Nolan J. 3 years ago on Google
    Great natural reserve, good walking tracks that are well laid out, all the way up to cascade Falls at the top. The resting spots were well placed, and we made it with a 6yo and 5yo without too many hassles! Loved the way they made the walk around 'Dotties Run' fun and engaging for the kids, finding the next sign post.

    Nice views and a simple walking track, however it could be sign posted better as it is easy to lose the track if you aren't looking for it. Sculpture park only has the one main sculpture and not a lot of other sites apart from the coastal and beach/sea views. Nice camping area in the park

    What an amazing trek. We saw so many things. Track is kept and maintained really well. Well worth the trip

  • 5/5 Marcie P. 6 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place to camp. Loving the high tide down the beach, perfect for a swim. Would definitely go back there. Clean camping ground and helpful ranger is always around.

  • 5/5 Zoard G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little place with amazing scenery. Fresh drinking water and plumbed facilities onsite.

  • 5/5 Jack H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice day hike location. You really see how the low tides affect the south side of Waiheke

  • 5/5 Shehan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a stroll along a shell covered beach.. great bird life including the little dottrell.

  • 5/5 Raoul M (. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved the family friendly trail from the sculpture car park to the cascade waterfalls. We decided to do the 4.2 km loop. One way tlvia the beautiful bush path and returned via the main walk.

👍 We have visited most of the Vineyard's on Waiheke and this is up there with the best in terms of quality of food. The location is nice and pleasant and is beautiful on a sunny day, but the location does not have the sweeping views of some of the other vineyards. Back to the food, it was delicious an...
