Rangitoto Island and Hauraki Gulf from Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand
Hiking the volcano in Rangitoto
A beautiful view from the top of Rangitoto Island after a 30 minutes climb through various landscapes (fields of volcanic rocks, a cave and bushes).
Rangitoto Island is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland, New Zealand. The 5.5 km wide island is an iconic and widely visible landmark of Auckland with its distinctive symmetrical shield volcano cone rising 260 metres (850 ft) high over the Hauraki Gulf.
There are several daily ferries to the island from Auckland's main ferry terminal. These allow day trips for the fit to walk to the summit and back, with stunning views of the harbour and city. An alternative to walking, a land train, co-ordinated with the ferry sailings, takes visitors to a short way below the summit.
Sea kayak trips from the mainland to the island are also available.
#AboveItAll
Along the way to the summit you may see a lot of lava rests.

9/10 Wonderful! (2,008 reviews)
Large, clean room with good facilities. Handy location near to CBD - about 10 min walk to downtown. Most meal and bar outlets are not in main building but across a small adjoining lane way which wasn't explained and I didn't discover until breakfast. So dinner was somewhere else. Overall, good value ...

Room was ok. Carpet had some stains. Couch had seen better days. Staff were very helpful however, which made up for some of the shortcomings of the room. That, and clean sheets!

Fabulous view of the CBD and the Sky Tower from the 13th floor. Washer and Dryer was useful. But a couple of dirty towels was left behind in the dryer. Also the bed runner was very dirty, but thankfully the rest of the bed was ok.
