A pleasant walk to top - not too challenging - about 45 mins at gentle pace. Plenty of buses from Downtown and a number of entrances to One Tree Hill Domain: one entrance easily found is at the north end of Onehunga Mall, another off Manukau Road etc. - around 20 to 30 minutes from City Centre - ask at Transport Centre - they will advise. You can also drive to the top - there is a car park. Hope you enjoy it - the views are fab!
