Piha, Karekare and Whatipu are to the south of Anawhata. To the north are Te Henga (Bethells Beach) and Muriwai.
Anawhata was milled as part of Piha 's operation. A tramway was constructed from the Piha Mill to the bottom of the hill, to the bottom of the White Road. Indeed, the Marawhara Walk parallels the old stretch of the tramway. This was the route used by the little Dub generator, the A196. The incline ended near the homestead of Craw.
Pole Line Track and Quarry Track can take you downhill to the McKenzie and Forbes Lines, then to the Piha Valley Track. The Centennial Track, which takes you down rugged steps to the Piha Valley Track, is among Piha's most emblematic tracks. At the peak of the Quarry and Centennial is the McElwain Lookout, a high-pitched structure. From here, you can look down to Piha over the interior of the Ranges.
Around a third of kiwis live in Auckland. We are all being exhorted to visit other parts of NZ rather than taking our regular trips to Australia, the Pacific Islands and the rest of the world. And, for sure, a high proportion of Aucklanders have never been to the Sth Island - it’s about time they did!⠀
⠀
But … Auckland has plenty of fabulous things to do as well and it’s time other kiwis sat up and realised that it is more than an excessively busy place to go shopping and eating.⠀
⠀
We are starting with a quick review of the black sand surf beaches on the west coast of the Waitakere Ranges, easily the most interesting Auckland region for outdoor lovers. Although most of the hiking is presently closed due to kauri dieback disease, it is still the most scenic part of Auckland to visit, and one of the most rugged and scenic surf beaches in NZ. In order of the pics - Whatipu, Karekare, Piha, Whites Beach, Anawhata and Te Henga.⠀
⠀
Being west coast beaches, also great places to watch the sunset (pics 5, 8 and 10).⠀

🏹 Sagittarius setting on the horizon of the pristine Anawhata beach.
Anawhata takes a bit of time to get to but is very calming. Unique black sand, very few people, interesting walks in the area and even a natural ‘infinity pool’ hidden away.
When I originally captured the 19 shots required to make this, I had no clue how to process it.. over a year later finally getting in to the deepscape dream 🤓 Didn’t have a tracker back then but very happy with the level of detail pulled out of stacking these 2.5 second sky exposures.

FG = Sony A7R3, Tamron 17-28 @ 17mm, f/2.8, 20”, ISO1600, 6 shots stacked
BG= Sony A7R3, Sony 85mm, f/1.8, 2.5”, ISO1600, 13 shots stacked

You can get to Anawhata by taking the Anawhata Road turnoff from about half way along the Piha Rd. it is a pretty, winding, metal road through forest then along the high ridge above Whites to a trailhead. Then it’s a 20 to 30 minute steep walk down to the beach. There is a particularly amazing viewpoint on the cliffs above the beach about a third of the way down, so try not to miss it.⠀
⠀
There is a camping ground near the end of the road and you can rent one of a couple of houses you can see as you head down. They are managed by the Auckland City regional park service.⠀
⠀
If there are more than a few people there, you just got unlucky …⠀
⠀
You can also hike from Whites to Anawhata if you really like hill climbs!⠀

Lake Waimanu is another unique place to visit in the Waitakere region. You can access it from a small carpark immediately before entering Te Henga. It is an amazing experience as you either walk over a giant sand dune, or around it along a stream that follows the north side of the dune. At the end of the dune is the lake, with the dune effectively acting as a dam. The best swimming is from the edge of the dune.⠀
⠀
You can also hike for about an hour around the lake. There is a modest waterfall at the far eastern end.⠀

Piha is top weekend destination for Aucklanders on the west coast, but small with a few cafes and shops. There is a campground and a reasonable amount of other accommodation. Given how amazingly beautiful it is, it continues to surprise at how traditionally kiwi it still looks. ⠀
⠀
It is surrounded by high hills, cliffs and forest with some of the best surfing in the North Island. If you want to swim, the surf patrol area is at the south end of the beach near Lion Rock. Like all west coast beaches, it is not safe outside the flags. Sunset is a great time to be there, and several early evening and sunset shots are included in the series.⠀
⠀
For a cool walk, find the track that goes from near the end of the beach at North Piha, then hike over the point to much smaller Whites Beach. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes each way. The view back to Piha is in pic 7.⠀
⠀
There are some other great walks from around Piha such as the Kitekite Falls and Mercer Bay, but we will cover these another time.⠀

I actually had a little cry when I packed up this painting to go to it’s new home. It’s presence was so soothing in my studio. ‘Be Here Now’, a painting of a magical beach, named after a magical book. This is the kind of painting that brings you right into the moment. Limited edition prints available on my website.
Pets are a huge part of our families, and they need lots of guidance, love, and care— pet ownership is increasing at a rapid pace and like Mums and Dads of kids, parents of four-legged fur babies have all sorts of pet parenting styles. Some are strict but loving while others are more laidback and carefree.
Your pet parenting style has a lot do with your personality, your pet’s breed and demeanor, what you both like to do, and where you live.
So what kind of pet parent are you?

This was definitely a career highlight for me, being featured in my favourite magazine homestylemag last summer.. you can read the lovely article by alice.lines and see some more of larnienicolson pics on the Homestyle website, I’ll pop a link in my stories. Behind me was the original of ‘Be Here Now’ - she was such a pleasure to have in the studio! (As we’re the wonderful ladies from Homestyle!)
One Friday afternoon in January, I was blessed enough to spend my hours with some of my favourite people, on this beach - Anawhata. It’s a very isolated West Auckland gem, and the energy there is POWERFUL. It was my first ever visit and I can’t wait to go back. I took hundreds of pictures, including this one, that I immediately turned into a painting called ‘Real Life Dreaming’. The original was snapped up by jumbledonline in a second, and I have limited edition prints available on my own site and greenhouseinteriors. It’s such a dream, just like the beach.
It’s been a while since I gave this special piece some airtime. ‘Be Here Now’, named in honour of the amazing babaramdass is a depiction of a place that really brings me into the moment - Anawhata beach. I just love the clarity, the warmth and the subtle reflection details in this piece. This pic is of the original (sold ages ago) but you can find prints on my website.
Autumn tones, summer outfit, adventures in Anawhata with my favourite Instagram boyfriend 🤪

This is one of the two remaining large pieces from my exhibition, ‘About Today’. It has so many beautiful textures and details (take a look at the listing on my website for some detail pics). It’s playful, gentle and oh so pretty. It’s guaranteed to bring you bucket loads of joy. (Ps, the original is a bit smaller than this mock up, at 100cmx75cm but the limited edition prints come in some big sizes)
Priceless views of my favourite beach around Auckland. Can’t wait to come back there to enjoy the place and take more photos of it.
