Must-Do's in Hobsonville

Hobsonville Point Cycleway - A 5km neighbourhood loop track that traces the peninsula’s shoreline, slicing its way through Hobsonville township from coast to coast. Made even better with various green spaces, pubs, cafés and playgrounds.

The Catalina Coastal Walkway - Hugging handsome coastline, this 5km walk in Hobsonville Point loops its way past native bush, large parks (including an off-leash green for your pooch), the harbour and an old rifle range. Cyclists are welcome too.

Secret Fairy Houses - Twenty tiny fairy cabins climb the trees at Te Onekiritea Point (Bomb Point), Hobsonville Point. Made from every material imaginable, the workmanship is commendable and they even light up at night.

Catalina Bay Farmers’ Market - Teetering on the northern-most part of Hobsonville Point, this market runs three days a week from Friday through Sunday, 10am to 2pm. Buy fresh bagels, artisan bread, meats and cheese and then fill your boots with handmade candles, oils and more.

Little Creatures Brewing - Located on the water’s edge in an enormous air force hangar, several eateries and the Little Creatures brewery rub shoulders under one roof. Dine indoors or out – and bring your dog along for the fun. Furry friends are welcome here and waterbowls are readily available.

TOP TIP: There’s a commuter ferry service to and from the downtown Auckland ferry terminal to Hobsonville Point, running seven days a week and sailing several times a day.
