Six reasons why people love Devonport
Surrounded by water.
The Waitematā harbour on one side, the Hauraki Gulf on the other. You're never more than a few minutes from the coastline.

Twelve minutes to town.
The ferry runs every twenty to thirty minutes to the city centre. Rangitoto and Waiheke go direct from the same wharf.
Village atmosphere.
Everything you need is about five minutes away. The ferry, the supermarket, the school gate, the cinema, the dentist, the library, the café, the beach you love. All within walking distance.
History and character.
Victorian villas, a heritage main street and a cinema from 1912. The Vic is the oldest purpose-built cinema still running in the Southern Hemisphere, showing films on Victoria Road to this day.
Natural beauty.
Two maunga with 360° views across the city and the gulf. Four beaches, for the swim before work, or the paddleboard after it.
Built for families.
If it works for families, it works for everyone. Kids walk to school, swim after class, and grow up with the run of a peninsula. The playgrounds, the library, the pump track, the sports clubs, the beaches, and that's the short list.
