Great views, best reached by foot

This lookout point provides a beautiful and very interesting view of Hawkes Bay. However, the drive up is confusing, one way and not recommended. The walk however is a great short uphill walk with views throughout. There's a couple ways, but here's the shortest. Start...More

Bluff Hill Lookout

After climbing Bluff Hill by car through some narrow streets with beautiful old homes we reached the road that leads to the lookout. Narrow at times, take care driving as hard to pass in spots. The view at the top was worth it!

Fabulous views - hairy drive to get up there -should be one way onlyly

Its not tat easy to find your way to the top. It's not that well signposted. This road should be one way only. We had trouble passing an oncoming car on the way down.

Ok.

We decided to walk up to the top. It's a steep winding road so you'd have to be relatively fit and able. Great views at the top. I'm no eco warrior at all but the sight of all that timber sat on the dockside was...More

Great views

We drove up on a sunny day and took in the views which were fantastic. It provides a different vista to Te Mata Peak. It has tables as well and you could easily decide to have lunch up here as well. It’s well worth the...More

A bit disappointed.

I expected amazing views back over the city but that aspect seems to be blocked off due to a slip in the hillside? And mostly what we saw was the port, load loading facility and the hills in the distance. Nice drive up past the...More
