Ōhinerau / Mt Hobson

The Māori name Ōhinerau means the place of Hinerau, the goddess of whirlwinds. Be blown away by the history of this Maunga and the spectacular views in all directions.

Once a large and thriving pā, Ōhinerau was home to around 1,000 people at its peak, with terraces, storage pits, and gardens stretching across its slopes.

Today, remnants of this history are still visible near the tihi (summit).

Summer: 7 am – 8.30 pm | Winter: 7 am – 7 pm

Dogs welcome on leash

Remuera, Auckland

Walk gently, respect the whenua, and take time to connect with this special place.

💡 Lighting upgrades are coming to Maungawhau / Mt Eden and Tahaki Reserve 🌿

Our team will soon begin works to replace and upgrade ageing lighting infrastructure across both sites, helping improve safety and reduce ongoing maintenance requirements.

The project includes:
• New and upgraded lighting
• Refurbishment of existing poles
• Minor maintenance and safety improvements

Works are expected to take around 4–5 weeks, with little to no disruption to access during this time.

Thank you for your patience while this important mahi is underway. 💚

🌱 Flashback to 2021 at Te Pane o Mataoho / Te Ara Pueru / Māngere Mountain, where students from five local primary and secondary schools came together to help restore and care for our Tūpuna Maunga. 💚

That mahi continues today, with community planting days happening regularly across the Maunga. Every planting day helps restore native ecosystems and strengthen our connection to these special places.
