Sixty-five hectares (160 acres) of undulating land, along with masses of native trees and plants, comprises the relatively new Botanic Gardens. Opened in 1982, the gardens have already established a reputation. The variety of the land includes a rock garden, herb garden, edible garden, lakes and valleys. A cafe provides a place to rest and enjoy an afternoon tea. Those who find the gardens too large to traverse may hop aboard the Wiri Rambler 'train' run on the weekends. Open daily.

Maungakiekie has been inactive for years as a volcano, but activity on and surrounding the hill has been rampant for centuries. Believed to be the largest pre-historic fort in the world, the hill is the site of New Zealand's largest Maori fortified village. Today, the grounds are protected and include a monument and grave to Sir John Logan Campbell, the ‘founding father’ of Auckland City. It is also a popular recreational reserve with many trails and a scenic landscape. The hill derives its name from a single tree that stands on its highest peak.
