(0604) Auckland - 1251 Huia Road

Roadside parking near a hiking trailhead and a museum. Large enough to park a little further from the road, even though it's not busy at night, so it's very quiet. There's a large expanse of grass and a picnic table nearby. There are also restrooms in another parking lot at the start of the hike, about 200m away if needed. Note that there's a barrier at the entrance to this parking lot, which is closed between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the summer and between 7:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the winter. There are no signs indicating overnight parking, so "freedom camping" is only possible for autonomous vehicles, according to the rules in force. Average phone signal.
