Renton's Beach Walk - South Auckland
Nishiki Japanese Restaurant, 100 Wellington St, Freemans Bay, Auckland, NZGreetings Everyone - Join us on Sunday as we walk along the Manakau Harbour from Renton's Beach to the Oruarangi Boat Ramp and back again. We aim to look for the buried Kauri Forest.
🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
Hiking along the Manukau Harbour coast from Renton’s Beach to the Oruarangi Boat Ramp is a journey through shifting light and layered history.
The trail hugs the tidal edge, where mangroves whisper and black sand glints underfoot. As you move northward, the harbour opens wide, revealing distant ridge lines and the hum of birdlife.
The air carries hints of salt and flax, and each bend invites curiosity. Your goal—the buried Kauri Forest—adds a sense of mystery, grounding the walk in ancient time. On the return, the changing tide reshapes the shoreline, and the forest’s quiet presence lingers, half-hidden beneath the land.

Mangawhai Clifftop Walk
Nishiki Japanese Restaurant, 100 Wellington St, Freemans Bay, Auckland, NZGreetings Everyone - Join us on Sunday as we walk the famous Mangawhai Clifftop walk, with time for a lunch and swim.
🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
Starting from Sellars Reserve, we head north along the beach toward Mangawhai Heads, waves lapping at our ankles as the tide creeps in. We climb the steps to the clifftop walkway, greeted by sweeping views of ocean and dune. The track winds above rugged coastline, then descends to golden sand where we retrace our steps along the shore.
A swim in the surf refreshes us before the final stretch back to Mangawhai Heads. We end the day with cold drinks and laughter at the Mangawhai Tavern, salty and sun-warmed, sharing stories of the walk and the sea’s shifting moods.

Patetonga Wetlands and Water Gardens
Nishiki Japanese Restaurant, 100 Wellington St, Freemans Bay, Auckland, NZGreetings Everyone - Join us on Sunday as we walk along the Piako River past the Kopuatai Peat Dome in New Zealand. afterwards we will visit the Ngatea Water Gardens.
🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
As we walk along the Piako River, the landscape shifts—quiet waters winding past open farmland and the vast Kopuatai Peat Dome, New Zealand’s largest unaltered restiad peat bog.
The air feels still, the horizon wide, and the path gentle underfoot. It’s a softer kind of adventure, trading rugged trails for rural calm. Birds skim the water’s surface, and the dome’s wetland grasses ripple in the breeze.
Afterward, we’ll visit the whimsical Ngatea Water Gardens, where quirky sculptures and reflective ponds offer a playful contrast. This walk is a little different—intimate, pastoral, and quietly rich in ecological and artistic charm.
