About Devonport

Just across the harbour from Downtown Auckland, the marine village of Devonport is one of the city’s oldest suburbs. With its picture postcard Victorian villas, pretty beaches and stylish shops, Devonport is a great place to spend a day or afternoon.

Walks, views & beaches

Climb to the top of the distinctive volcanic cones of Mount Victoria or North Head for fantastic views across the city and nearby islands of the Hauraki Gulf. Take a stroll along King Edward Parade, with its views across the harbour, or along Cheltenham Beach, with its stunning views of Rangitoto Island.

Shopping

Devonport is home to many interesting art galleries, boutiques and gift shops, most of which are situated along the main street, Victoria Road. Spend an afternoon browsing, and discover everything from glassware and paintings by New Zealand artists to second hand books, jewellery, designer labels and unique kiwi gift ideas.

Cafes & Restaurants

Devonport is generally bustling with people, many of whom are sitting outside in street cafes, watching the world go by. The village is a popular place to eat out - take the ferry over for morning tea, a lazy lunch or a more formal evening meal.

How much time is needed for the whole trip?

Anything from an hour to a full day.

Departures from Auckland City

Old Devonport walk

The Old Devonport Walk passes by some of Devonport's historic spots, and short walks to the summits of Mt Victoria and North Head offer spectacular views of Auckland, Rangitoto and the Hauraki Gulf.

The first Tainui canoe landed on the foreshore about 1350AD, followed by the British Navy in 1840. The route passes historic monuments, churches, fine old houses, the cemetery, the ferry wharf, volcanic cones and lava flows. The Devonport Museum also organises regular conducted tours around this route. A number of the buildings are privately owned and not open to the public.

The route is laid out in 'The Old Devonport Walk' brochure, available from the Tourist Information Centre, Windsor Reserve, Devonport, Tel: +64 9 979 7060.

Give yourself a good half day to see the sights - longer if planning on a leisurely lunch or a visit to one of the picturesque pubs.
