As you approach Huia on the main road from the northeast, you will see a sign for the viewpoint at Kaitarakihi Point (Huia Point on Google Maps). This is one of the few places on the Manukau Harbour and in the wider Waitākere Ranges, with a high point that you can drive to.
The viewpoint overlooks Huia, Little Huia, and the surrounding peaks. A little further to the southwest is the Manukau Harbour entrance. It is a nice spot to stop in the evening after a day hiking around Whatipu.
