All in all a pleasant spot on a sunny day... There is a boat ramp, but it is steep and at an angle to the access road. Making it only useful to small boat owners with big towing vehicles.....

Great domain. Lovely views out to harbour and Rangitoto. Good area for kite flying as is often a good breeze. There is a part time coffee shop at the top but not sure of hours. Mr whippy parks at the top often too. Very historic area and memorial. There is an easy walking path down to mission bay and all the good cafes and ice cream places. We had my uncles 80th picnic party halfway down as it was more sheltered. So plenty of great picnic spots...
