★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I would say this is the greatest lookout I have ever been in New Zealand so far. This defines "lookout." Also, "lookout" for the gannets. HAHA One gannet landed on my wife's head. Quite amusing. The gannet colony is a natural phenomenon that New Zealand is lucky to behold. Must visit. Awe inspiring creatures.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful outlook onto Garret Colony. Gannet birds everywhere perched on the cliffs. Views of the shore as far as the eye could see. Very serene and interesting. 1 hour’s drive west of Auckland.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ About 45 mins driving from Auckland city. Beautiful lookout. It's just amazing. Sunset, birds and sea view just make everything perfect. Time planning is necessary because of migration of birds, you could see many birds or nothing. It's better to go there during summer.
Take care the wind that is really heavy. It may possible makes cold even summer. Take care about sand from beach as well, which may kiss you by wind.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A short walk from the beach car park, hundreds of gannets nesting right on the edge of the cliff. Really interesting to see especially for anyone who loves nature and you get some pretty awesome views as well.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You can walk up to the gannet colony from the beach or drive up. If driving, take the road up near the roundabout and keep an eye out for the gannet colony sign. There are a few parking spots at the top and it has a nice view of the beach below.
There is a pathway that leads to two different lookout sites. One is close to the carpark and the other closer to the beach walkway. Both have stairs to get to the lookout.
The birds are so close to the lookout points. You can see them sitting, walking and interacting with each other. The closeness gives you a feel for their size. It was a nice little walk to both lookouts and it had a nice view over the water, along with the nesting colony.
It is worth the walk up to see these amazing birds up close and personal.
