   Very nice walk. Nice view. Few different walking trails. Make sure you properly close gates behind.

   Great place for a hike. You can opt to stay flat and walk around the bottom, or you can climb up for spectacular views. Cows and sheep in abundance, as well as other great scenery. Take a picnic, there's benches and tables around.

   The Duder Farm Loop Track is an absolute gem. The walk is the perfect length at around 4 km — just enough to get your legs working without feeling too long. The trail winds through open farmland with friendly sheep and cows grazing nearby, which makes it feel uniquely Kiwi. The highlight for me was reaching the top near the trig point — the panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf are breathtaking. On a clear day you can see all the way across to the islands, and it’s worth stopping to soak it all in. The track is well-maintained and easy to follow, with a nice mix of rolling hills, open grassland, and coastal outlooks. It feels peaceful and unspoiled, yet it’s so close to Clevedon and Auckland. I’d recommend this walk to anyone — families, casual walkers, or anyone wanting a short adventure with big rewards. Easily one of the best little loop tracks in the region!

   A great place for walking with well-maintained, stable tracks that make it easy and enjoyable for all ages. The amenities are clean and well looked after, adding to the comfort of the visit. The automated gate system is especially useful for exiting the park after hours. I was also impressed by the council’s helpline—very responsive and helpful when needed. Overall, the park is well-managed and makes for a peaceful and pleasant outdoor experience. Perfect for a day out in nature.

   Excellent hike, bit of a drive to get there but the views are worth it! Some notes - Parking is limited and entrance is free. Toilets by the parking area, but water is untreated. BYO snacks and rehydration. Early mornings are great however, rain and wet grass and several muddy patches will require better hiking equipment, waterproof hiking boots and even hiking gear. Watch out for slippery slopes, muddy paths and cow pies. Livestock roaming between fences and gates, please respect property boundaries, keep gates and fences closed. Farm animals generally ignore you as you pass by, and a few disgruntled cows did reluctantly trod away. Weather permitting, rainy days offer no shelter out on this hike, hot sunny days would be perfect. Not all picnic tables are clean, the ducks do kinda get around... The views are absolutely worth it. Two thumbs up!!

   A great place for a walk on a fine winters day. Just a short drive from the madness of the city.

   A beautiful Regional Park, a working farm with breathtaking coastlines. Rolling meadows and moderate hills make this an easy and relaxing three hour walk.

   Beautiful place with amazing outlooks. Be aware that beach access can be tricky and you may find yourself scrambling up the side of a hill. Bring plenty of water and a good sun hat. Be careful on the rocks they can be slippery.

   The Farm Loop is amazing. This time of the year is especially good to meet all the baby lambs. It's an easy walk with lots of up and down on the green.
