[Devonport] 
Devonport is one of Auckland’s oldest suburbs and is well known for its independent spirit and activist community.  Enjoying close proximity to the CBD, it has a relaxed seaside vibe and a strong link to the arts, music & literary scene. It is also home to the NZ Navy and is the site of the Tainui Waka landing. Devonport has a rich archaeological, maritime and boat building history.

Our town centre is compact and easy to get around. One of the best heritage streetscapes in Auckland, the village offers a truly unique boutique shopping experience. The stores are local independent businesses offering friendly personal service and a wonderful range of products, including NZ designed fashion, design and gift shops.

Relax and enjoy Devonport’s many beautiful and accessible beaches or stroll the shell paths along the waterfront. Spoil yourself with a special treatment at one of Devonport’s top spas or beauty salons.

Rich in both Maori and early colonial history, Devonport offers some of the best views in Auckland.

Muriwai Beach is a beautiful, windswept beach on Auckland’s wild west coast. Its pounding waves draw surfers and its dramatic stretch of black volcanic sand is perfect for a walk to blow out the cobwebs.

Don’t miss the impressive sight of the huge gannet colonies nestled on the rugged coastline.

Piha is one of the most popular beaches on Auckland’s wild west coast. Yet with its vast stretch of dramatic, black sand it always feels wonderfully isolated and uncrowded.

The wild surf at Piha Beach draws seasoned surfers and it’s also a great swimming spot in summer.
