★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Take your time. Some parts of the track are reasonably steep. But the view from the top is quite unique. Would be even more spectacular on a clear day. About a 45 minute round trip including a few moments at the top.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fifteen minutes easy walk to the top. Beautiful view of Nelson, the coastline and ranges. Totally worth a visit when you're here.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic walk but not for people who struggle to walk up hill, unless happy to stop for breath. Worth pushing yourself if you don’t usually climb hills, the view is brilliant and worth the effort.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice walk(s) great park to spend a few hours. Clean, well maintained paths and plenty of parking even on busy days. The hill is easy to walk, but bring a bottle with you on hot days. It's more the just a 10 minute hill.... The monument has a great view of the bay, town and surrounds. The reason (centre of NZ) of the monument is up for debate... And not a supper must to visit, but if you want 30 minutes of Nelson on a few days South island trip, it is worth getting to see the town quick... Also great information on the natural sea wall. During our walk a big group of students just did the walk, but fairly quiet on the track. Also saw plants of dogs!.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Long hike to the top - it says 20 minutes but it took a little longer. There are some steep sections of track and gravel so can be slippery, especially on the way down. Take some water and good shoes to make it easier and more enjoyable. Great views from the top

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful views of Nelson and harbor. Would recommend not doing it in the middle of the day as it is very hot. Nice Bush walk on way up and on the Kauai track on the way back. A few steep parts but doable for most fitness levels.
