Round & about Howick

The village of Howick lies just over 20 kilometres by road south east of Auckland.   It can also be reached by a pleasant ferry ride from Auckland City to Half Moon Bay and a short connecting bus link to Howick.   The village-like town centre has a cosmopolitan ambience with its pavement cafes, restaurants and numerous small shops.   Howick is blessed with many breathtakingly beautiful beaches and in earlier times was the seaside destination for Aucklanders.

While in Howick, have a look out for examples of Wall Art in the Village.

Each Saturday, the Howick Village Market takes place from 8.00 am to 12.30 pm - outside the Howick Information Centre - with a wide range of stalls from baked delights, vegetables & eggs, chocolates and much, much more.

Not to be missed!

 The story of Howick is told through its many historic buildings.

At the northen end of Picton Street is All Saints Church

 And further down Selwyn Road is Shamrock Cottage

 Followed by a short walk down to Howick Beach

Back in Picton Street, you'll find the Howick Information Service and village centre, where, every Saturday morning, the Howick Village Market takes place.

Opened on 1 November 2008, the Fencible Walk at 108 Picton Street has been established on the old Police Station site, which, in turn, was the site of the original Methodist Church in Howick (now relocated to the Howick Historical Village)
The walkway provides a through route from the Picton Street shopping centre (opposite the Information Service) to Howick Library.

The next bay north from Howick Beach is  Cockle Bay

 Going south, you'll reach Mellons Bay (by beach, when the tide is out)
