The walk takes in Manuka Reserve with views of the Upper Harbour, Hobsonville Point and native bush. Not only are there stands of manuka trees (tea trees) beside the estuary, but inland within Leigh Scenic Reserve, there are kauri trees and palms.

NOTE: The Manuka coastal track around to Kaipatiki Rd is currently closed and it looks pretty unused with no skirting the barrier in sight. Instead I did the the walk the other way and up through Leigh which was great. From Maureen.

Lovely view on the Bayview Coast and Bush Walk

Thank you for this it is invaluable. How do you get to the Bayview bush walk? Is this detail part of your description. I can’t see it.

Hello Anne,
We only did the walk yesterday and I will be writing the directions, map etc. for the downloadable brochure tomorrow.
Would you like to let me know when it is done?
Many thanks,
Helen
