Nevins Lookout
About
Nevins Lookout in North Island sits on State Highway 43 at Tokirima 3980, New Zealand, in the hill country inland from the west coast.
The viewpoint takes in the surrounding hill country along State Highway 43. A 4.1 out of 5 average from 7 reviews reflects a spot that draws those travelling the route rather than crowds. First-time visitors can expect a roadside stop with wide views and space to pull over. Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth all lie some distance away, so the lookout suits a road trip rather than a quick detour.
New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, so layers help at this elevation. Native birds such as tūī and kererū are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. The North Island's volcanic plateau, with its hot springs and geysers, lies further east.
