North Head is a headland at the east end of the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand. It has a prominent volcanic cone called Maungauika, and it lies within the Maungauika / North Head Historic Reserve in the suburb of Devonport.[1][2] Known for its sweeping views over the harbour and the Hauraki Gulf, since 1885 the head was mainly used by the military as a coastal defence installation, which left a network of accessible old bunkers and tunnels as its legacy, forming part of the attraction. The site was protected as part of Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park in 1972[3] and listed as a Category I historic place in 2001.[4] As part of a 2014 Treaty of Waitangi claim settlement the volcanic cone was officially named Maungauika and the reserve renamed Maungauika / North Head Historic Reserve. Maungauika is the Māori word for Mountain of Uika.
