welcome to devonport Your Devonport experience most likely begins on the ferry ride over from Auckland, passing the Navy base and catching your first glimpse of the volcanic cones of Mt Victoria and, further along, North Head.

Either will offer you incredible 360-degree views of Auckland, the North Shore, Rangitoto Island and the Hauraki Gulf.

But our mountains are just the start of what Devonport has to

see pages 24-25 for the full-size map

offer. We’ve created this guide to help you enjoy all of it.

In Destination Devonport you’ll find maps and guides to help direct you around the village, as well as further afield, to the beaches and other attractions on the Devonport peninsula.

Our guide is full of all the mustvisit places, shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and galleries in this very special village by the sea.

VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE The Devonport Visitor Information Centre is run by local volunteers.

About 25 passionate Devonport residents opened the centre in April 2017 for the World Masters Games, which drew thousands of visitors to Auckland.

“And then we just never closed,” said the volunteer coordinator at the time.

“It’s the Devonport way. Locals are passionate about sharing what they know about the place.

“Devonport has a long history of community service, and this

time they wanted to make sure visitors had the best tourist experience possible.”

The centre is in “The Arcade”, not far north of the Esplande Hotel on Victoria Rd. 15 Victoria Rd, ph 09 666 0119

1

Soak up Devonport’s Victorian heritage with a stroll up and down the main drag. There are some bargains to be had. Then grab a coffee at one of the many great coffee stops in town.

2

Watch the boats and harbour life from the top of North Head, the ‘poor man’s helicopter’.

3

Then keep your cool in the wonderful tunnels at the summit of North Head.

The kids will love shouting and hiding in the rabbit warren of old Navy tunnels

See our Food & Drink guide on page 30

4 Cool down with a jump off Torpedo Bay wharf.

7

Head up to Devonport’s other ‘mountain’, Mt Victoria. Another great panoramic view of Auckland and if you’re too tired on the way down, hop on a piece of cardboard, like the locals!

If you’re lucky, there might be one of the famous folk music concerts in the bunker.

10

Then take your pick for dinner with any number of the great dining options in the village. Devonport has a huge range of options, to cater for any diner! Have a look at our Food & Drink guide on page 30.

destination devonport 2019

5

Take on the ‘Aucklander’, the biggest ice cream at White’s Dairy on Vauxhall Rd, just a short stroll up from Torpedo Bay. Just the 10 scoops on one cone – the challenge has been set!

8

After a day of sightseeing in the village, sit down at one of the pavement cafes on the high street for a well-earned drink. The Esplanade has a great view of the city and the harbour. Choice bro!

6

After a visit to the Navy Museum, at Torpedo Bay, you can learn more about the history of the village at the Devonport Museum, just across the road from White’s Dairy.

See the Devonport map on pages 24-25 for directions.

9

Watching the sun set behind the Harbour Bridge is one of the best sights on a sunny evening.

Head to the wharf for the best views!

HOW TO GET AROUND Walking is your best option in Devonport. Everything is within close proximity.

You can also use public buses that are on a regular schedule.

You will also find shareriding services provided

by Auckland Transport.

Download AT’s “Local” app to get your local ride. Other options are e-bikes which can be hired from the wharf, Segway tours and share services like ONZO bikes or LIME scooters.

devonport ON A STOP WATCH TWO HOURS IN DEVONPORT If you’re visiting Devonport for a good time, not a long time, the best way to start your adventure is with a coffee. There are numerous options - on the main street but you can also try Chiasso’s, Devo or Lily on Wynyard or Baked on Clarence. Then make the short stroll up to Mt Victoria and take in the views over Auckland, and make sure you check out the iconic red and white mushrooms. When you’re finished wandering the mountain, head down to Cheltenham for a scoop of gelato from Cheltenham Milk Bar. Kick off your shoes and head to Cheltenham Beach while you’re there. Don’t forget to stop

by Vauxhall Vintage and find yourself a unique treasure to take home with you.

HALF A DAY IN DEVONPORT Head down King Edward Pde and enjoy the walk along the waterfront towards Torpedo Bay Wharf. Along the way, stop for coffee and brunch at Platter Cafe where you can enjoy the spectacular views over the harbour.

Once you get to Torpedo Bay, make sure you walk right out to the edge of the wharf for a great view. If you’ve got your swimsuit, and are a confident swimmer, you can even jump off the wharf for a dip. The Navy Museum is located here and entry is free.

North Head, Devonport’s historic coastal-defence site, is a five-minute walk away – and definitely worth your time. Take the looping track from the base to the top, where along the way you will find tunnels to explore (bring a flashlight if you’re not confident in the dark) and gun emplacements. Follow steps down the side of the mountain and find North Head’s little spot of bliss, its own hidden beach. By now you’ve surely walked up a sweat – so time to treat yourself to an ice cream as big as you can handle from Devonport icon White’s Dairy.

A FULL DAY IN DEVONPORT If you’re lucky enough to have a whole day to spend in Devonport, you won’t be disappointed. Every good day starts with coffee, and you won’t find better than Chiasso on Wynyard St. Their cold brew, which has been lovingly slow dripped for 6 hours, is not to be missed on a hot day. On your way up to Mt Victoria stop in for some retail therapy along Victoria Rd. After city gazing from on top of the mountain, head towards Church St where you will find Cambria Reserve. A scenic stroll through the reserve will reveal one of Devonport’s hidden gems – the Devonport Museum. This volunteer-run museum is filled with historical treasures and loads of hands-on activities such as a piano, a typewriter, skittles and even a small cinema. If, by this point, your stomach is starting to grumble the answer to your problems lies just down the road. Chateaubriant is a small French cafe located in Cheltenham, filled with yummy treats that will make your eyes (and your stomach) light up. Grab a selection of goodies to take away and head to Cheltenham Beach to enjoy them with one of the best views in Devonport – of the unmistakable Rangitoto Island.

Before the sun goes down, make your way back to the main village and into the beer garden at The Patriot for a cold brew and to soak up the final rays of the day.

Last but not least, get cosy in front of an evening movie at The Vic vintage theatre.

Don’t forget a large box of butter popcorn!

devonport: a history Devonport is one of Auckland’s most historic suburbs, with European settlement dating from the mid-1800s. Maori settlement goes back much further, to around the mid-14th century.

Three small local mountains were Maori pa sites (fortified villages).

With the arrival of Pakeha settlers, Devonport became an important farming and shipbuilding centre – the dry dock at the naval base (now privately owned) is still in use today.

Devonport Beach, circa 1912 Devonport was named after the Devonport naval base in England and the Royal New Zealand Navy still contributes significantly to the flavour and prosperity of the local community.

The harbour occupies a special place in the hearts of Devonport people. Two of New Zealand’s best-known yachties – Bruce Farr and the late Sir Peter Blake – are local lads, and Sir Peter Blake was a member of the local yacht club for many years.

The Coastal Classic yacht race officially begins just beyond Devonport Wharf every year, with many Farr-designed yachts entering.

North Head is riddled with military tunnels, connecting bunkers and empty gun emplacements.

destination devonport 2019

Rumours still abound of mysterious tunnels that are long forgotten.

Devonport was originally an island, joined to the mainland by a narrow causeway which is still known as Narrow Neck Beach. Fort Takapuna, with its underground fort constructed in the late 19th century to repel the Russians, lies just beyond this beach.

The original centre of Devonport was based at the bottom of Church St, where boatbuilding and the former Masonic Tavern were located.

By the early 1900s, the centre of town shifted to where it is now, largely due to its proximity to Devonport Wharf and Auckland.

For more than 100 years, Devonport was an independently governed borough. After a major battle with the government, Devonport was forced in 1989 to become part of a newly created North Shore City. North Shore City itself was incorporated into the newly created Auckland Council in 2010.

Devonport’s independent spirit remains to this day, with many fights against government and bureaucracy.

Famously, locals took the government to court in the late 1990s over plans to sell off a tract of Defence land at Narrow Neck.

Victoria Road, circa 1915 he residents won, and this area – a large grassy area up from the beach – is now a park. Devonport has a remarkable collection of late 19th-century villas, some of them very grand indeed.

By the 1970s, many of the villas had become dilapidated and some were being pulled down to make way for flats.

In the 1980s, a heritage movement was established to protect the old buildings. This coincided with

Victoria Road, circa 1910 gentrification sweeping Auckland’s inner-city suburbs.

As a result, many villas were saved and lovingly restored. You’ll see them both in the village and on the walks around the township, brought back to their original elegance and surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Cheltenham Beach has had several name changes over the years: White Beach, Rangitoto Beach and Cobley’s Beach.

The gardeners who worked on Mr Cobley’s Devonport estate originally came from Cheltenham Gardens, London. The idea of building a kiosk on the beachfront was first raised in 1909 amid public controversy. The kiosk has evolved from tearooms in its early years, to a popular venue for many a fine wedding, ball, or social event. In 2013 it celebrated its centenary.

First recycling depot in New Zealand opened (1977).

First borough in New Zealand to vote to become nuclear-free (1981).

devonport’s beaches ‘Welcome to the maritime suburb’, says Devonport’s entrance sign – and for good reason!

For one, it is the home of the Royal New Zealand Navy. You may well see naval uniforms around the village, and if you come to Devonport by ferry, you might see navy vessels moored at the HMNZ Philomel base.

Narrow Neck Beach Devonport is also home to two sailing clubs. Wakatere Boating Club, is where local kids learn to sail so well that some have become Olympians. Local sailor Paul Snow-Hansen sailed in Rio and London, and board sailor Tom

the beach is McHughs restaurant, which is over 100 years old and a popular spot for weddings. The restaurant offers buffet lunches on certain days of the week. From the end of Cheltenham Beach you can walk the stairs that lead to North Head. Once you get to the top, look behind you for a spectacular view back over the beach and Rangitoto.

If you are keen to have a more casual dip while visiting, you are spoilt for choice. Beaches extend from Stanley Bay to Devonport village, Torpedo Bay, Cheltenham and Narrow Neck.

(Most beaches are tidal, but Narrow Neck offers swimming in all tides.

sea swimming

Ashley won gold in Beijing. The Devonport Yacht Club, along the waterfront towards North Head, is one of the oldest in the country.

Its most famous member was America’s Cup campaign leader Sir Peter Blake. The club offers meals on Friday nights.

cheltenham Beach At the base of Maungauika/North Head lies Cheltenham beach, a long stretch of golden sand and calm water. This spot is a favourite among locals for swimming, walks and lazing in the sunshine. From here you have one of the best views of Rangitoto that Devonport has to offer. At the North end of destination devonport 2019

The Waitemata waters around the Devonport peninsula are also popular with seaswimmers. The local swim club runs two ocean swim events each year: the Round North Head Swim in November to open the season, and the Cheltenham Swim in April to close it. Friendly sea-swimming groups leave Narrow Neck beach early most weekend mornings.

We recommend putting your finger in the air first to see where the wind is coming from, then heading to a beach sheltered from either the prevailing southwesterly or less common northeasterly. best fishing spots Devonport has three popular fishing spots. From east to west: Torpedo Bay wharf; the central Victoria Wharf; and Stanley Bay Wharf. Fishing gear can be purchased at Devonport Hammer Hardware, should the urge to fish hit you unexpectedly.

best picnic spots Another way to enjoy the sea is simply to look at it, maybe while having a picnic at one of our many vantage points. North Head and Mt Victoria are two of the best. You can find a quiet and windless spot on their slopes any day and time. Nice spots can be found all along the waterfront as well, especially near the yacht club Wharf-jumping at Torpedo Bay and Stanley Bay is popular amongst teenagers, but banned at Devonport Wharf.

Cheltenham and Narrow Neck are perfect for a morning coffee or lunch, with a view of Rangitoto, though both get a bit shady and cooler than expected in the evenings.

Devonport has a maritime history going back to the 1300s, when the Tainui waka is said to have landed at Torpedo Bay, an event commemorated by a stone memorial on the foreshore.

parks & playgrounds windsor reserve

devonport domain

cheltenham beach

Located on Victoria Rd, next to Devonport Beach, this playground is perfect for the whole family. Its playground, big grassy field and proximity to the small sandy beach make it an all-rounder. Grab some fish and chips from across the road and catch the last of the sun while you take in the ocean air.

This is a playground with a billion-dollar view, overlooking Torpedo Bay and back towards Auckland City. The playground shares its grounds with the North Shore Cricket Club, so there is plenty of grass to kick a ball or throw a frisbee. It’s also a mere two minute walk from Narrow Neck Beach.

Need we say more? This modest playground is steps away from one of Devonport’s best beaches, complete with great views of Rangitoto Island. No doubt you’ll see paddleboarders and windsurfers going past. Too hot? Just around the corner is Cheltenham Milk Bar, which serves delicious gelato and milkshakes.

balmain reserve

narrow neck beach

woodall park

Located about half-way down Cheltenham Beach, this reserve is an institution among locals as THE picnic/fish and chips spot. Bema Fish and Chips are located a couple of minutes away on Vauxhall Rd. Bonus: You’re allowed to drink alcohol on Cheltenham Beach from 7am until 10pm in the summer months (October until April).

Another playground located on one of our beautiful beaches, Narrow Neck is home to a small but entertaining playground with a beautiful view. It’s also right next door to the beach cafe which sells all the kiwi necessities including pies, hot chips and ice creams.

Not enough room for the kids to run around at the Narrow Neck playground? Pop across the road to Woodall Park, a massive stretch of grassy field, perfect for a family game of cricket or soccer. There is also a volleyball net set up in the corner of the park.

wicklow reserve

This little gem is tucked away at the back of the Devonport Museum, down a one-way street.

Its winding concrete paths and landscaped gardens make it the perfect spot for a little adventure.

The reserve sits in the remains of Mt Cambria volcano, which was a quarry for scoria rock between 1883 and 1985.

Located next to the Waitemata golf club, this playground is usually quieter and less crowded than a lot of the others. You can walk from here to Cheltenham Beach in about five minutes.

Also slightly more off the beaten track, this reserve hosts a pirate ship-shaped playground the kids are bound to enjoy exploring. The reserve also has lovely benches and a picnic table, a great spot to take a packed lunch. Wicklow Reserve is a five to 10-minute stroll from Narrow Neck Beach.

skate park

melrose reserve

rainy day options

Whether you have a skateboard in tow or not, this is an iconic part of Devonport to check out.

Located opposite the Waitemata Golf Course, and a 10-minute walk from Narrow Neck, the skate park also has a lovely little walk around the outskirts overlooking the mangroves.

This charming reserve is tucked away in a quiet part of the village and is nestled amongst charming villas. There are plenty of trees that provide a nice shady spot to spend the afternoon. Here, you will be located in Devonport’s sister suburb Stanley Point.

Weather not so flash? Don’t panic, there are still plenty of indoor options to keep the kids entertained. Both the Devonport Museum and the Navy Museum have plenty of interactive toys and games to be enjoyed.

Alternatively, check out what’s on at The Victoria Theatre; built in 1912 this is New Zealand’s oldest operating purpose-built cinema. page 11

a beer lover’s guide If you’ve walked up a thirst, you need to know the best places to quench it. Our resident beer hounds sniff out the village’s superior beer options.

Raise a glass, because we’ve really never had it so good.

We’re delighted to report that this year the inexorable march of craft-beer progress has continued in Devonport, further extending our whistle-wetting options.

Many of them centre on a thriving mid-village triangle of beerfriendly establishments, but good choices are available much more widely than they were just a few years ago.

So let’s start, as usual, hopping off the ferry with a healthy thirst barely touched by the quick one enjoyed on the ferry itself.

Devon on the Wharf is the first bar you’ll see, a good spot from which to watch the passing crowds of commuters and holidaymakers.

Here, the pick of the on-tap brews is the recently added Sawmill IPA, with the Founders Pilsner offering another decent option. Naturally, the Asahi and Estrella Damm tap beers prove pretty popular here.

Over the road, you need to make time to stop in at The Esplanade, a stately Edwardian pile built in the early 1900s to resemble the resort hotels of England’s Brighton and Blackpool. The wonderful Good George IPA on tap remains our firm favourite here, with Founders providing a second IPA option and Tuatara’s Mot Eureka the best drop for pilsener fans.

Next door, at the Waterfront Bar and Grill, they have Heke lager from Waiheke Island, and up at Manuka, on the corner of Victoria Rd and Clarence St, they have Mata lager from Whatakane, which goes down a treat with destination devonport 2019

their pizza or seafood chowder.

Just a few doors further up Victoria Rd is the welcome newcomer on the Devonport hospitality scene since our last report, and one of

Best afternoondrinking spots For sun: Vondel, the Patriot (on the street) and The Esplanade along the waterfront are hard to beat.

The Patriot also has outdoor garden-bar style seating out the back.

the pillars of our newfound Beer Triangle: Victoria Rd Kitchen.

The food here is great and the service outstanding, with friendly, efficient staff who get you settled in with a glass of your preferred beverage in double-quick time. They have a permanent line-up of Good George pilsner, IPA and APA on tap, plus a couple of guest taps – Sawmill XPA and Urbanaut Brixton Pale Ale were on offer as this piece went to press.

It’s hard to drag us away from those Good George draft choices, but there’s a wide selection of quality beers in the fridge, too: Liberty Darkest

Days Stout, Halo Pilsner and Oh Brother Pale Ale; McLeod’s Longboard Lager and Porter; Panhead Supercharger APA, and many more. And, oh yes, a plate – or two – of Vic Rd Kitchen’s shoestring fries with parmesan and truffle oil is our new favourite beer accompaniment.

Tearing ourselves reluctantly from Vic Rd, let’s stay on the western side of Victoria Rd all the way up to Nicolino Restaurant, one of the few places in Auckland you can wash down your moussaka with a bottle of Mythos (“the world’s most famous Hellenic beer”), before taking the crossing to the eastern side for our return journey.

The Vic Theatre has two Stoke options (IPA and pilsner) on tap, while the popular Corelli’s on the Rattray St corner has Mac’s pale ale and lager on tap, plus Emerson’ 1812 and Little Creatures in the fridge. A few steps up Rattray, Hemingway’s has draft lager, pilsener and an IPA from

Hawke’s Bay Brewing.

Further down Victoria Rd in the old bank building, The Patriot remains Devonport’s mainstream pub option, complete with bigscreen sport and quiz nights. They have a wide range of big-brewery taps, with Emerson’s Pilsner or Little Creatures Pale Ale the ones likely to catch our eye.

You can sit in the sun at the Patriot, as you can at our next stop, Vondel, which anchors another corner of the Beer Triangle. This place also takes its beer seriously, with Urbanaut’s Brixton Pale Ale and Epic Lager on tap, plus a guest tap which on our last visit featured Behemoth’s Lid Ripper Hazy IPA. Their fridge selection is also impressive, with a range of brews from Garage Project, McLeod’s, Lakeman Brewing, Boneface and others.

The outside tables here are among our favourite summertime destinations, and the beer choice is icing on the cake.

Finally, we cross the road, head into Clarence St and climb the steps to the deck of Tiny Triumphs, which was the first of the village’s real craft-beer specialists. This tiny operation is the remaining corner of our Beer Triangle, with a changing roster of quality tap options – not necessarily from Sawmill, despite the sign outside – and heaps to choose from in the fridge. When we visited last, they were pouring Sawmill pale ale, pilsner and Hefeweizen, but had Garage Project Hapi Daze Pacific Pale Ale and Bliss lager lined up for the next week.

Those who prefer drinks other than beer will be pleased to know that all the venues mentioned above offer other options, including a choice of New Zealand’s favourite wines, such as Marlborough sauvignon blanc or Central Otago pinot noir.

Please enjoy your time in Devonport. Cheers!

finding the perfect ice cream White’s Dairy

After a day at the beach, make sure you pop into White’s Dairy in Vauxhall Rd for an ice cream.

If you’re up for a challenge and have the appetite for it, ask for one of their famous 10-scoop monsters that have people travelling to this local dairy from all over Auckland. White’s Dairy has become iconic to Devonport, with owner Nilesh and wife Jody scooping up ice creams for locals and visitors since 1994.

The Vic cinema offers traditional gelato (homemade) sorbet, as well as gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options. Their carefully selected recipes originate from Italian confectionery traditions and international and local tastes transformed into tasty cold treats.

The Esplanade Hotel, 1 Victoria Rd

There has been a hotel on this site since the 1860s when the original Flagstaff Hotel was established. The Esplanade was opened in 1903.

Continue walking up the left-hand side of Victoria Rd until you reach the former post office / council chambers at 3 Victoria Rd. 5-19 Victoria Rd, Oliver Mays Building / The Arcade

Victoria Road walk Start at the Ferry Terminal and walk across the road to the Esplanade Hotel.

The establishment of a commercial area on lower Victoria Rd was prompted by a ferry service connecting Devonport with the city and the development of a wharf and hotel at the foot of the streeet in the 1860s.

By the 1880s, Victoria Rd had become the leading commercial centre of the North Shore.

By the 1920s, the western side of Victoria Rd was lined with fine Victorian and Edwardian commercial premises.

Today Victoria Rd has one of the most intact collections of Victorian and Edwardian commercial buildings in Auckland. Several of these buildings have been listed

by Heritage New Zealand and the Auckland Council.

This impressive row of two-storey shop buildings was built around 1880. The building features a charming arcade through its centre, with displays relating to various aspects of Devonport’s history, as well as some fantastic little shops and the new eatery, Akdeniz. Cross the road at the first pedestrian crossing to the bronze statue.

War Memorial

Unveiled in 1923, the Devonport War Memorial was one of a large number of memorials erected to the war dead after the First World War. They served as surrogate tombs for the families and friends of the many thousands of men and women who died in the conflict and were buried in foreign lands. The bronze figure known as the ‘untidy soldier’ is unusual for its formality and realism.

Windsor Reserve & Devonport library

Carry on up Victoria Rd passing the library on your right. You will come to a small section of park, Windsor Reserve. Over the years it has been adorned with a band rotunda, a library and several memorials including the South African War Memorial (1899 - 1902). Centrestage is Devonport’s magnificent Moreton Bay fig tree - also known as an Australian Banyan tree - which was planted in 1883.

The flagpole and survey plaque, Windsor Reserve

Once a visual shipping signal station, the flagpole was moved from Mt Victoria in 1957 to mark the site of the birthplace of the New Zealand navy. In the 1840s naval vessels had stores and repair depots in the area. It is also one of the many areas along the foreshore where Maori canoes landed in 1350.

Commemorative Sea Wall, Windsor Reserve

waterfront walk Start from Devonport Wharf and walk east through Windsor Reserve, towards King Edward Parade along the waterfront.

King Edward Parade stretches along the foreshore from Devonport Wharf to North Head.

During the early 19th century, a commercial centre was developed, beginning with the Masonic Hotel and various boat-building facilities (including Logan, Bailey Holmes and Beddoes).

By 1914, King Edward Parade was graced with a string of residential buildings and those houses certainly have stunning views, not only of the harbour but of the the city’s eastern beaches and the central business district of Auckland.

Elizabeth House, 5 King Edward Parade

Formerly the Ventnor Private Hotel, the present building was erected in 1911. It had 50 guest rooms and an impressive dining room.

The hotel catered from holidaymakers until WWII when it was requisitioned by the Defence Department. After the war the building was renamed Elizabeth House and used by the Navy to accommodate the WRENS - Women’s Royal NZ Naval Service. The Navy vacated in 1991 and the building is now private residence.

Devonport Yacht Club (DYC), King Edward Parade

4

Carry on down King Edward Parade on the seaward side, looking at the distinctive black lava flows that are visible beyond the sea wall at low tide. These are from the eruption of Mt Victoria many years ago. Founded in 1905 and considered one of New Zealand’s most respected yacht clubs, the clubhouse was originally the waiting shed on the old Victoria Wharf. The yard is usually full of colour as numerous boats wait to be painted and repaired.

5

Torpedo Bay end of the parade Named after the torpedo boats that berthed at the Naval Wharf in 1886. And Takapuna was the name of a spring which formerly flowed from the base of Maungauika/ North Head. It was named by the commander of the Tainui canoe after a spring in the Society Islands. Takapuna became the Maori name for the wider Devonport area.

North Head / Maungauika

North Head played an important role in defence plans for the Auckland Harbour from the 1880s when it was fortified as part of the defence system established in response to fears of a Russian attack. Between 1888 and 1914 prisoners were incarcerated at North Head where they were put to work digging a network of tunnels that link the defence facilities.

cheltenham to fort takapuna

The North Head tunnels

From Torpedo Bay, walk north along Cheltenham Rd towards the beach Military lookouts were established on North Head and Fort Takapuna because of their extensive views of the harbour.

With volcanic soil for farming, plus attractive beaches, it became an enviable retreat. Vauxhall Gardens were created in the 1860s, and the swamp west of Wairoa Rd drained to create a racecourse (now a golf course).

Devonport’s residential development increased because of fine beaches, proximity to its own commercial centre and ferry transport to the city.

There has been much speculation that historic aircraft were hidden inside sealed tunnels. In spite of extensive exploration they have never been discovered.

3

McHugh’s, 46 Cheltenham Rd

After exploring North Head, walk back to Cheltenham Rd and turn right At the end of this road you will find McHugh’s. Originally the Cheltenham Tea Kiosk, it opened in 1913. It provided changing rooms and a large tea room for beachgoers. Now a popular reception lounge.

Cheltenham Beach

4

Continue walking to the northern end of the beach, to the children’s playground. Public concern over the depletion of shellfish beds on Cheltenham Beach came to a head in the early 1990s. Initial results were alarming and led to the formation of Cheltenham Beach Caretakers who pushed for a ban on shellfish harvesting. With the support of local Maori, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, and other local groups, the ban was put in place in 1993 and shellfish samples continued to be collected to track progress.

5

Waitemata Golf Club Built on a former swamp, it was reclaimed in the 1870s and the Takapuna Racecourse was established on the site, which it shared with the Waitemata Golf Club (where the golf course had been in the centre of the race track). The shape of the racecourse can still be seen in the layout of the current golf course, and the Jockeys’ Changing Rooms are now the Devonport Croquet Club premises.

Fort Takapuna Vauxhall Rd At the end of Cheltenham Beach, turn left by the playground, through Bath St, and turn right into Vauxhall Rd.

7

The fort was equipped with two six-inch guns and living accommodation for the gunners stationed there.

After the First World War the fort was abandoned.

6

The Vauxhall Shops, Vauxhall Rd Head towards Narrow Neck Beach, then cross the road into Wairoa Rd. Turn left into Grove Rd, then turn right into Vauxhall Rd. In the 1920s a small set of shops arose at the intersection of Vauxhall Rd and Tainui Rd to serve the growing Cheltenham Beach community. Now it’s a busy hub of eateries, and interesting shops. Turn left into Tainui Rd, then right into Cheltenham Rd and end this walk at Torpedo Bay.

Fort Takapuna Historic Reserve Vauxhall Rd This reserve encompasses one of a number of forts overlooking New Zealand’s major harbour built as a result of the Russian threat in the 1880s. The New Zealand Army had a military hospital on this land in the 1930s, which later became a maternity facility. The site was converted to a naval accommodation precinct, before the houses were removed in the 1990s and a reserve created. The Officers’ Mess, scene of many formal naval functions, has been restored, as have the nearby barracks. You can also enjoy bruch and lunches at The Officers’ Mess.

The Devonport Domain

This was originally a swamp that was developed into a park in the 1880s, and used by the Tennis Club before becoming home to other sports such as the Devonport and Masonic cricket clubs. The cricket club recently celebrated its 150th anniversary and is one of the oldest in New Zealand.

Holy Trinity Church 18-30 Church St

neighbourhood walk From Torpedo Bay, Cheltenham Rd, walk west across the Domain towards Cambridge Terrace & Domain St The inland area of Devonport gradually evolved from a farming locale to a residential area.

Volcanic cones that once provided fertile soil also supplied stone for roadmaking and building; Mt Cambria and Duder’s Hill were quarried away during early European occupation. Community facilities were established, including places of worship built in Church St and Albert Rd. Large landholdings were subdivided into smaller sites, so gradually residential development could expand inland during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Exit the Domain onto Cambridge Tce, then turn left into Domain St. Then turn left onto Vauxhall Rd/Church St to the Anglican church of Holy Trinity. It is a magnificent example of a wooden church with exquisite stained-glass windows. Designed by Edward Bartley.

47 Church St

This was built by the Electricity Supply Corporation in 1915 as a coal-fired power station, and provided the first electricity supply for Devonport. In the 1930s, it was used to house Depression relief workers, and was converted to apartments in the 1980s.

Mt Cambria Reserve & Devonport Museum

4

Cross Church St and enter Mt Cambria Reserve, via the path just past 48 Church St. The museum is on the far side of the reserve, down some steps.

Mt Cambria Reserve Takararo

Mt Cambria was a 30m-high volcanic cone that was formed around 20,000 years ago, and destroyed by quarrying in the 19th century. It was named by a syndicate of Welsh miners who purchased it in 1874. Cambria is a traditional name for Wales and was also the name the miners gave to their Coromandel goldmine.

See page 37 for info on the Devonport Museum.

5

Masonic Hall 145 Victoria Rd This former Masonic Lodge building dates back to 1901 when it was erected as the first purposebuilt home of the local Lodge Albion. The lodge had been established at Devonport in 1882 by Devonport members of city-based lodges. A decade after it was opened, extensions were made to the building with a social hall being added.

Mt Victoria cemetery Albert Rd Once back on Church St, continue walking north. Turn left onto Albert Rd and continue walking straight ahead (keep Mt Victoria on your left) This part of the lower slopes of Mt Victoria was set aside as a burial ground in 1854 for the early settlers to the area. It also contains the grave of Ngapuhi leader and Government adviser, Eruera Maihi Patuone, who lived in Devonport in the 1850s until his death in 1872.

FOOD & DRINK Devonport is teeming with restaurants, bars and cafes.

The easiest way to find most of them is by walking up Victoria Rd but there are also some great coffee shops on Wynyard and Clarence streets that locals love including Chiasso, Devo, Baked, Lily and Stone Oven.

And look for Akdentz in the newly renovated Arcade to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine in a historic red brick building.

Another local favorite is Vic Road Kitchen which has a daily changing, seasonal menu - well worth trying for a taste of fresh New Zealand fare.

Some restaurants occasionally have live music: Hemingways

on Rattray St, Tiny Triumphs on Clarence St and the Esplanade Hotel, near the ferry terminal, has a regular jazz night on Tuesdays.

and a meal upstairs in the bar/ restaurant. Afternoon drinks on the verandah overlooking the 9th hole is a treat worth exploring.

A short walk towards North Head is Platters and Torpedo Bay Cafe.

A little-known, yet special dining experience, is at the Officers’ Mess at Fort Takapuna just up from Narrow Neck Beach. Only open to the public on Sundays - you can enjoy brunch on the deck that overlooks Rangitoto.

Near Cheltenham Beach are the Vauxhall shops, which includes, the Milk Bar, Vauxhall cafe, and the French cafe Chateaubriant.

The Vauxhall eateries all provide take away options for “picnicking” at Cheltenham Beach.

The Waitemata Golf Club, close to the Vauxhall shops, welcomes visitors for coffee and rolls at its new cafe “Swingers” and also for drinks

Nearby Narrow Neck Beach Cafe has coffee, lunches, ice creams and supplies for a picnic on the beach or the park adjacent to the Wakatere Boat Club . There is a BBQ area, a playground for kids, a basketball hoop and a volleyball net at Woodall Park.

vic road kitchen At Vic Road Kitchen, the focus is on fresh, seasonal and local produce served up with a rustic Mediterranean twist.

The menu changes daily and incorporates fresh New Zealand seafood, home-made pastas, pizzettes and seasonal vegetables.

Pair this with a great selection of New Zealand wines, craft beers and cocktails and you have a must-visit dining destination.

Set in a beautiful old building that oozes charm though warm brickwork and soft lighting, Executive Chef Ian Shields and ‘partner in wine’ Harriet Byrnes have combined their extensive experience to create something truly special in Devonport.

retail & shopping Treena Nixon at Miller Road has studied perfumery for many years. Some of this time she even spent in Grasse, the perfume capital of France.

Treena has combined her knowledge with her love of fragrance to create her very own perfume-making workshops, which are run from her shop on Queens Parade.

The experience involves participants choosing a combination of fragrances, combining 200 drops of scent to produce their own customised perfume. Smelling Treena’s hand-picked selection of over 160 fragrances is truly a sensory delight, with coffee beans on hand to cleanse your ‘palate’ between scents.

From start to finish, the process

takes around 45min to 1 hour, and the result is an entirely unique fragrance.

“We have never had someone leave with a perfume they didn’t like,” says Treena who is on site to provide as much (or as little) guidance as is required.

Once you’re happy with your perfume, Treena bottles and labels it with a name of your choosing.

To book a workshop go to millerroad.co.nz, or pop in to see Treena or one of her lovely staff at 2D Queens Parade.

the esplanade hotel Enjoy magnificent views of the city and harbour. Soak up the ‘old world’ charm of the big, beautiful Edwardian architecture, whilst enjoying the personal and friendly service of the 115-year-old Esplanade Hotel.

Completed in 1903 for £7000, The Esplanade Hotel quickly became established as a wellrun, popular seaside resort hotel. Recently renovated in 2002, The Esplanade has become synonymous with Devonport. It has 17 rooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and some with balconies and is priced from approximately $200-$400 per room per night

depending on the room type and season.

Only a 10 minute ferry ride to downtown Auckland, The Esplanade Hotel offers the convenience of boutique hotel accommodation without the hassle of the inner city. After a busy day sight-seeing or on business, The Esplanade Hotel is a haven to escape to at the end of the day. Sit back and relax inside or outside the bar and watch the Auckland city lights and harbour activity or dine in the newly appointed Waterfront Restaurant.

The Esplanade Hotel also has function rooms available for business meetings, seminars

and conferences. Additionally this elegant boutique hotel is one of the popular Auckland event venues – jazz nights every Tuesday, quiz nights every Wednesday and is an ideal space for special occasions such as birthday celebrations, anniversary dinners, or wedding receptions.

In essence, The Esplanade boutique hotel experience is about modern comfort in a heritage setting, along with friendly, personal service. The Esplanade is the quintessential Devonport experience.

devonport property economy and growing population, adding 180,000 new residents in just the past five years, putting pressure on a city to provide enough new housing. This has naturally led to a greater intensity of housing.

However, with Devonport’s recognized heritage, more stringent restrictions are placed on housing developments, which only adds to the appeal of the suburb, with more open spaces and retained architecture.

Whilst often Auckland is judged to be one of the most expensive cities across the world in regard to house prices, when you compare Devonport with inner-harbour suburbs in Sydney or Melbourne, prices here in Devonport are generally lower.

waitemata golf club

One of the great things about Devonport is that everything, including the 18 hole Waitemata Golf Club is walking distance from the ferry.

The course contour is flat, allowing easy walking through beautiful parklike surroundings with well established trees, shrubs and water features. Non playing public may walk through our course. So the club asks to “please share with care”.

The course was originally nine holes within the perimeter of a horse racing track.

Motorbike racing, horse racing, greyhound and professional foot racing shared Alison Park until 1934.

The first full season of the Waitemata Golf Club on Alison Park took place in 1906, with annual subs of one guinea for men, and ten shillings and sixpence for women.
