Mount Victoria Reserve
Head up to Mount Victoria Reserve for panoramic views of the Auckland skyline across Waitemata Harbour. Aside from the scenery, the park features a field of "painted mushrooms" that serve as decorative vents for an underground water pumping station. You can reach the reserve via a 10-20 minute uphill walk or by driving, biking, or riding a Segway. Parking at the top is limited. On your way up, stop in at the historical Signalman’s House, which used to inform locals of ship departures and arrivals. The access road also features numerous shops and cafes. Bring a jacket because it's often blustery at the top. Use Inspirock's suggestions to plan your Devonport trip and find the best activities and attractions for your vacation.

It may be easier to go to North Head for the views, as the way here is steep and has to be done on foot unless you get permission to drive up the road. I got to the top and found the views as good...

Very special location with incredible views overlooking harbour. Love this spot! Note - No vehicle access from 2/3 way up. But a nice 5-10 min walk to the summit.

Visiting from out of town acting as a tour guide for the family. Always a great spot, although I remember the days you could drive to the top. A fair number of walkers dodged the showers and were rewarded with dramatic skyline views as the sun punched though and lit up the villas, shops, and vessels below. Very peaceful spot for a walk, a picnic, or showing visitors the best view of the CBD.
