The HMS Achilles defeated the German cruiser Graf Spee in the 1939 Battle of the River Plate, the first major naval battle of World War II. Achilles Point has great views of the Waitemata Harbour, and of course the Gulf Islands. Not so much a venue for actvities, but the views say it all..

Sitting on the green grass surrounded by the pink flowers, you could only hear the birds and feel the gentle wind blow your face.
