Short walk from Bluewater
Ahuriri Estuary
A flat estuary walkway around sheltered inlets and wetland margins, a short walk from the hotel.
The Ahuriri Estuary walkway loops around sheltered inlets and wetland margins a short walk from the hotel, on a flat paved track that suits an easy morning or evening stroll.
It is one of the region’s richest bird habitats: shags, spoonbills and wading birds feed across the mudflats. Pandora Pond, at the city end, is a calm spot for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding in summer.
Water quality at Pandora Pond is monitored during summer and can be affected after heavy rain. Check current local advice before entering the water.
