Mt Eden (Maungawhau)

Mt Eden (Maungawhau) crater

250 Mt Eden Road, Mt Eden

Spectacular views of the City are enjoyed from the summit of Maungawhau, which is reached by either foot or car.

The slopes of Maungawhau were once densely populated by Māori and the crater is known as the food bowl of Matāoho. In 1841, Apihai Te Kawau defined from the summit the boundaries of his 3000 acre gift of land to the Crown that established the city of Auckland.

Vehicle entry is off Mt Eden Road. There are also walkways off Clive Road, Glenfell Place, Batger Place, Hillside Crescent, Rautangi Road and Owens Road. Entry to Eden Gardens is from Omana Rd, off Mountain Road.
