Mawhitipana Reserve is a hiking area at 55 Cory Rd in Oneroa, on Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf. It has a 4.7 rating on Google.
A good walking area has clear tracks, good signage and a mix of shade and views, so you can choose a short stroll or a longer walk. On Waiheke, reserves often link bush, coastline and beaches, so expect some steps and slopes, and wear sturdy shoes, carry water, sun protection and a light jacket, as the wind off the gulf can be cool. Regulars know that mornings and weekdays are quietest, that summer weekends bring crowds on the island, that tracks can be slippery after rain and that tide times matter if a route runs along the shore. Waiheke is reached by ferry, so check sailing times, including the last boat home, and allow time to walk between the wharf and the reserve or use local buses. Keep to marked paths, keep dogs under control where allowed and take your rubbish home.
For visitors to Waiheke Island, Mawhitipana Reserve at Oneroa is a pleasant place to walk and look out over the gulf.
