One Tree Hill

i love this place, not only for the history but also for its peace and calm. it is an extinct volcano and an old Maori fortified pa and a working farm 20 mins from Auckland's CBD. Added to that the views of both the Manukau and Waitemata Harbours are spectacular. visitors get an idea of the small peninsula on which Auckland is based.
a stall sells rush munroe ice cream, the best ice cream in NZ and the cafe is also delightful.
