Water park in Wellington

“There's a cute fountain and lots of seating”

“Wouldn't recommend swimming with eel food strapped to you. Saw one the size of a fricken tree trunk, the size that makes you say... that's a fricken tree trunk. But it wasn't. Having said that, great spot and friendly eels.”

“Awesome! Ideal for retreating and having quality time with friends and family. Been here on an early autumn weekend and was lovely. Photography enthusiasts can experiment with the colours of the leaves, and also the Hutt River flowing nearby.”

“Clean and well maintained public toilet.”

“Excellent 360° view of Wellington and its surrounds. Make sure you pack wind breaker as it definitely is exposed at the top.”

“Lovely easy walk on eastern side of Wellington. Harbour view, ferry crossing and city & airport view on the other side. Easy to moderate hike. Pet friendly.”

“Very noice. Quiet, well kept island. Short, easy walks all around the island. Worth a visit.”

“Fantastic walk up to the old gun positions for lunch. The walk back around the beach takes a bit longer but is worth it. Rocky bottom beaches but the water is very refreshing after the climb. Those of moderate fitness can complete this walk but should take their time as the initial climb is quite steep. Ring ots on water and on sunny days a hat and sunscreen! There is no shade to be found. Highly recommend for a fun day out.”

“Beautiful scenery, public toilets that get locked in evening but one open all night. We had a peaceful evening. Restaurant at the carpark. Only one night for freedom campers they do come check.”

“Great walk. Came in off Hine Rd, up to McKerrow, onto Roubd ridge, back through Camp Wainui, up Bruce's track to repeater and back to car. Well marked, easy to navigate.”

“Has hot showers and free gas-fired barbecues, well maintained facilities for low pp cost per night. Beautiful native bush surroundings and stunning freshwater stream. Excellent walking trails nearby and superb NZ native forests to explore.”

“Great place, so easy to clip multiple kids on and trust they’re fine until the next wall. Dominique was phenomenal; so personable, helpful and knowledgeable.”

“Been here for many years with my Tamariki . Finally a toilet and water fountain installed after many years also. Large bike,scooter track. Basketball hoop and play area.”

“Not been here before, lovely staff, enjoyed meal, n coffee”

“Had a kids party here. Easy to arrange, and the kids loved it. Food and service was good and the play area was great. Only negative would be how cramped the seating area is”

“Great spot with plenty for kids and families-Junglerama, Jumperama, Cyberpunk, Clip ’n Climb, and the arcade. It’s not the cheapest day out, but it definitely wears the kids out and creates some great memories. The café food is pretty average, but fine for a quick drink and some hot chips.”

“Such an amazing walk to get here. The view is amazing on a good day! If it’s cold or windy, definitely take a jacket as it gets super cold up here. You can also get out of the southerly if you pop behind the shed at the top. Definitely recommend the hike to the top. Steep, exposed and rocky though!”

“Amazing views pretty much every time I go here.”

“The detour approaching Jacob’s Ladder bridge was muddy 4/10/2023 in places. The descent was slippery but not very challenging. Families with young kids navigated easily.”

“Great place to throw a ball for your pups, have a decent walk off-lead with hills and interesting places to sniff, always fun.”

“The Eastern Walkway Trail is a fantastic coastal track offering stunning views of Wellington Harbour and the rugged coastline. The well-maintained path takes you through lush native bush, and there are plenty of lookout points along the way to soak in the panoramic scenery. The trail is relatively easy, making it suitable for all fitness levels, and it's a great spot for a leisurely walk or light hike. The highlight is the picturesque view of the Cook Strait and Pencarrow Head. Overall, it's a perfect escape into nature, right near the city.”

“Chilly, but nice coffee at the cafe.”

“There to officiate a wedding. A stunning spot on a sunny day.”

“Well-maintain track with wide walkway. A little bit uphill but good for morning walk. We enjoy the voew of wellington city and also see the top of southern alps from the top of track. Make sure you bring enough water for walk! **thus track are join with red rock coastal walk, just walk down the hill approximately 5 km.”

“Good for those who loves walking, hiking. It was first time for me with friend. It was good. My suggestion to do Johnsonville to Karori.”

“Only 4WD vehicles can be driven on the rough road. It is not joke, seriously. We have seen 7 seals in different spots. They are very lazy and cute.”

“Well worth a visit. Lots of birds, great informative signage, beautiful bush. Good place to visit if you don't have time to do any bush walking - gives you a great taste of it! Also, the Cafe is excellent! Great coffee and really lovely food”

“Such a long trail and have to climb up the mountain to reach the upper lighthouse of pencarrow. Lots of awesome trails with views of the beach, mountains and green landscape. Biking is the most recommended option so as to cover a lot of stuff around and enjoy all the views from the top.”
