NZ Steel Lookout is a lookout at Glenbrook in Franklin, Auckland, rated 3.3 on Google from 20 reviews. Visitors mention the view of The Steel Mill and a relaxing place for lunch, though some find the lookout overgrown and say there is not much to see.
A lookout over an industrial site is mostly about the view, so clear weather and a little patience make the visit. Trees and scrub can close in on old lookouts over time, so a visit may show less than the photos suggest. Bring a warm layer and water, since exposed spots can be windy.
For visitors to Glenbrook who want a quiet lunch spot with a view of the steel works, this Glenbrook lookout is worth a look.
