This was a nice place atop of the hill had a great view of the city and surrounding areas, you can drive all the way to the top and park.

This is a great spot in the centre of the beautiful Cornwall Park with views all over Auckland showing the many volcanoes, the city and both the Manukau and Waitemata Harbours, as well as the Waitakeri Ranges to the west and the Coromandel Ranges to the south.

This is always one of my first stops. The views of Auckland are spectacular and you can see the old lines from the original pa site. A very special place.

came here to see the view. it's just ok. free is good. you have a walk a bit. the domain is a nice bit of green in Auckland but if you leave the cities, NZ is pretty much green. not so much to do at this place. there isn't even a tree at the top. but always nice to walk... More

If you want to see the view of Auckland and not pay to go up the sky tower then this is the place to go.

It's called One Tree Hill but there is no tree. Still,the view is fantastic another drive up the hill takes you through the most beautiful native trees.

A great, clean working farm where you can wander freely, with your dog (on a leash). Plenty of amenities and what a view from the top. A must for any visitors to Auckland
