Onehunga Heritage Walk - Maungakiekie
- Location
- The walk commences in Jellicoe Park on the corner of Quadrant Road and Grey Streets in Onehunga.
- Description
Onehunga means "landing place" in Maori and has a rich history of both Maori and European settlement and trade. The Onehunga Heritage Walk visits a variety of early colonial-era buildings including settlers cottages built in the 1850s, a defensive blockhouse built to protect Auckland during the Land Wars of the 1860s, and an assortment of early hotels, churches and factories. Be sure to visit the Pump House, built in 1888, which still provides crystal clear spring water to Onehunga residents.
