"Start walking down from St Stephen's and take the bridge that connects you to Mission Bay. I would walk along the water, then head up the hill to Ōrākei Village and down to Parnell and around the domain. It’s a beautiful walk. It's long, but it's super lovely as you're in a city, but it doesn’t feel like it."
