On a sunny day, St Heliers village has a holiday feel about it – with the harbour water sparkling, the golden sand and people enjoying the waterfront. It is contrasted with the quietness of the native bush in Dingle Dell.

This is a dog friendly walk with an off-leash exercise area. There is a children’s playground at the corner of Maddills Farm and Allum Street. Plus a picnic area in Dingle Dell Reserve. And a good choice of cafes along the Tamaki Drive waterfront.
Comments on Dingle Dell and St Heliers Circuit

This is a lovely spot (Dingle Dell) I’ve done a wedding here and it was just beautiful. These walks are all great and show that in Auckland we can get out and do something different – for walking or your wedding. Thanks for posting this. Saturday there is Opera in Dingle Dell too. Looking forward to it.

Thank you for your comment Sarah. Dingle Dell would be a wonderful venue for a wedding – and for this Saturday’s Opera too. Helen
