Red Carpet Tours (Lord of the Rings Tours)
Tour agency
👍👍 Without a doubt could not have chosen a better way to get to travel through New Zealand and also see several amazing Middle Earth locations. I was honestly kind of skeptical to the thought of traveling with a large group of people and not being able to experience this with just family/friends. Man....

Mokoroa Falls
Tourist attraction

Pukematekeo Lookout
Scenic spot
👍👍 FYI! It has two one way roads, one on either side of the hill so you will likely find the entrance before it says you have arrived in maps. Almost looks like someone’s driveway with a gate on it.
Once your up there it’s a awesome look out, you can see up to all the west coast beaches and all the way...

Lake Wainamu
Lake
👍👍 The carpark to the lake is quite small but you can park closer to Bethells beach as there are more spaces there.
To get to the lake you need to go through the gain dunes first. We opted to climb the dunes at the start so that we could walk around it at the end of the walk. After walking up the dunes...

Upper Nihotupu Walk 40min
Hiking area
👍👍 There's a bit of forest bathing, a waterfall and of course the dam. Easy walk, 40 minutes (each side) at leisurely pace, what's not to like. Tip: Parking is about 700m closer (when coming from West coast to Piha) to what maps show. Look out for the parking at 200m sign.

Kumeu River Wines
Winery
👍👍 Really surprised and impressed to find this gem in Kumeu. My husband and I have been traveling and working at wineries for the last 3 and a half years and we have rarely had such an amazing experience at a cellar door. Their wines are lovely all around, perhaps particularly appealing to our palates....

Just Plane Interesting Antiques and Collectables
Antique store
👍 What an interesting place! It is filled to the brim with interesting antiques, curios, and knickknacks.
They have opened another store across the road which has better/more parking and which is also filled with awesome tidbits.
Most of the items are quite expensive. The rows are very narrow, which m...

Kiwi Valley Farm Park
Farm
👍👍 This place is awesome! Kids will love it. It made me feel like a kid again. There are a lot of animals to pay and feed, as well as horse rides and a tractor ride. When you go up the hill on the tractor, you are able to see Rangitoto and Sky City. The views are amazing!
There is also a fun maze, and...

Coopers Creek Vineyard
Vineyard
👍👍 Coopers Creek produces wines from grapes grown in several NZ regions. They produce well known varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir. They also produce some varieties less well known in NZ, like Viognier, Arneis, Marsanne and Montepulciano. We visited the Cellar Door and enjoyed a tasting...

Waitakere Dam
Park
👍👍 A dam that was built in 1910, a very old engineering, prob the earliest engineering that NZL has ever done. It is one of 10 dams in Auckland, still providing water to Auckland people. At the moment it is about 72% full due to the drought. We really need to conserve water, water is precious.

Te Henga Walkway Parking
Parking lot
👍👍 The new bridge is up. This is an excellent, beautiful walk, or a good hard run.
It's definitely not for people who are unfit – as done sections are quite steep and the full walkway is 10km end to end; 20km round trip – and some sections require a bit of nimbleness to cross challenging terrain, and...
