Access to the town belt is right across the road from our cottage. Wander the many bush trails, enjoy the views, and climb to the top of Mt Victoria.

Our local beach is 10 minutes walk down the hill, but around the corner is Lyall Bay which is a lovely beach for swimming and walking. Or travel further towards Owhiro Bay and beyond takes you to a coastal walk to a seal colony at Red Rocks. Great for a picnic outing on a good day.

Great beach, with iconic cafes. Queen Sally's on Queens drtive is our favourite coffee, but Maranui is famous for its breakfasts and lively vibe. You can walk around the coast (40 minutes) for a coffee, then work off the muffin by coming straight up the steps from the end of Queens drive/Sutherland Road, to complete the circuit.

This is the best coffee anywhere (or so we believe). Our local quirky and cheerful little cafe with wholesome treats as well. Try also the sister restaurant down the road; the iconic MARANUI restaurant in the surf life saving building.
