Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We revisited the Duder Regional park on weekend. The Duder Regional Park is a large coastal farm park located on the pohutukawa fringed Whakakaiwhara Peninsula and offers spectacular 360 degree views.

The car park at the entrance of the park has toilet facilities, maps and the shoes cleaning station for preventing kauri dieback disease.

The park offers many scenic walking tracks. We took nearly two hours to reach the Whakakaiwhara point at the tip of the peninsula

Easy walk through farmland with nice sea views culminating in the walk to the pa site. Very nice for the amount of effort required.

I've walked around this park many times. It is still a working farm (on a small scale) has simply stunning views of the gulf from all angles. Not a lot of trees, as it was a farm for a long, long time, but a lot of bush blocks have been left and are being expanded over time and will see the bush increase. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy farm and water views with few other people then this is the place for you.

We went for a 2-3 hours walk and covered the Duder park's Blue and Red tracks. One goes through the farm lands and the other around the coastal edges. Beauty of this park is that its perched on a hill and you start from the bottom to reach the coastal areas with nice views. Although the walk is uphill, it wasn't tiring or anything with gentle slope. If you are going from Auckland then make sure to stop at Clevedon's Sat/Sun market to have you breakfast and shop fruits, nuts etc..Atmosphere is great and it sits in a valley, so you get nice surroundings too.

We've driven along Maraetai Coast Road south of Auckland several times and never really paid attention to the Duder Regional Park turnoff until recently. Turns out we’d been missing a scenic walk to the remains of an old Pa site (fortified Māori settlement) at the end of Whakakaiwhara Point with great views of Waiheke and Ponui (Chamberlins) Islands. The main loop track is just over 4km and apart from a little climb up to a trig beacon is easy and family friendly. The walk out to the point, which is well worth it, adds about another hour return. Bear in mind that the park is also a working farm so you'll be walking through paddocks with cows and sheep, but they all seemed friendly enough ;-)

Overview: A great attraction, which provides open fields and and walking trails through undulated farmland and beaches.

Pros: We undertook the Farm Loop Walk, which allowed us to enjoy spectacular views, observe unique flora, interact with sheep and catch glimpses of uncommon birds. This trail also took less than 2 hours and provided a great light workout.

Cons: Perhaps stepping on sheep excrement? Which I don't really consider a con, as it is what makes the experience memorable hah.

Notes: Another possible "pro" could be the drive there. If driving from Whitford or from the west, the road follows the coastline and takes you past other splendid beaches. Refer to the Regional Parks Auckland Council webpage for more details.

I went here with my husbnd for a walk, not expecting it could be a bit of a hike for a newbie. It was a great piece of land. Awesome views and the peninsula has fantastic view.

Im glad we went there. It was a beauty!

No money spent. Gear up with a comfortable walking shoes, sunnies and a hat. Bring a bottle of water and snacks. You can do picknick and enjoy the fresh air and view.

Started to rain so didn’t stop too long but worth a visit if you can get out to Maraetai first. Beautiful beach east of Auckland
