About
A relaxed 90-minute evening walk from Newmarket through historic Remuera, taking in the summit of Ōhinerau / Mount Hobson and the Ōrākei Basin, finishing with optional drinks at Orakei Local Bar & Kitchen. Perfect for first-timers and regulars alike.
🟢 The plan:
Join us this Wednesday for a scenic evening walk through Remuera, combining city views, leafy streets and one of Auckland’s most distinctive waterfront walkways.
Starting at Newmarket Train Station, we’ll make our way along Remuera Road before climbing Ōhinerau / Mount Hobson. From the summit, we’ll enjoy panoramic views across Auckland, the city skyline and Waitematā Harbour.
We’ll then head down through Remuera’s quieter residential streets towards the Ōrākei Basin, where we’ll follow the walkway and boardwalks around this unique volcanic lagoon.
Our walk finishes at Orakei Local Bar & Kitchen, where you’re welcome to stay for a drink, something to eat and a chance to continue the conversation before catching the train home from nearby Ōrākei Station.
Duration: ~ 90 minutes including stops (approx. 6–8 km)
Pace/Difficulty: Easy & relaxed, around 1.0–1.5 on our 1–5 day-hike scale. There is a climb up Mount Hobson, but we stop regularly to keep the group together.

17:15 – Meet at Newmarket Train Station
17:30 – Brief intro & start walking
19:00 – Walk finishes
19:00 – 20:00 – Drinks at Orakei Local Bar & Kitchen, 228 Orakei Road (Optional)

🟢 First-Timers:

What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, clothing suitable for the weather, a light jacket/rain layer, water, and your AT HOP card/Credit Card for the train.
