Discover Devonport Village
Devonport Village is located on the southeast end of a prominent peninsula on the North Shore of Auckland. This charming suburb is easily accessible by ferry from Downtown Auckland, crossing the scenic Waitematā Harbour to the Devonport Ferry Terminal. Known for its preserved Victorian and Edwardian architecture, Devonport offers a unique glimpse into Auckland's past. One of its standout features is a massive Moreton Bay fig tree, located in a park just before you reach the village shops.
Exploring Devonport
The village itself is a hub of activity, with a variety of cafés, restaurants, and shops to explore. You can also enjoy an art deco-era cinema, a war memorial, and several outdoor sculptures. Nearby, you can embark on walks to Takarunga Mount Victoria and Maungauika North Head. For those seeking a longer adventure, consider including Cheltenham Beach, historic Takapuna Head, and Narrow Neck on the Hauraki Gulf side of the peninsula.
Devonport Village is also a key point on the North Shore Coastal Walk, which runs from the ferry terminal to Long Bay. This walk is part of the larger Te Araroa trail, offering a scenic journey along Auckland's coastline.
How to Get There
To reach Devonport, take a ferry from Downtown Auckland across the Waitematā Harbour to the Devonport Ferry Terminal, located at the south end of the village. This short ferry ride provides stunning views of the harbour and Auckland's skyline.
