Introduction

Devonport is the ferry town on Auckland's North Shore, about 12 minutes across the harbour from the CBD. Victorian villas, seaside cafés, antique shops and two volcano walks (North Head, Mount Victoria) define it; second-hand bookshops and ice-cream parlours line the main street, and the wharf view of Rangitoto and the skyline makes it Auckland's most relaxed escape.
