The houses on the hill get a magnificent view of the Milford Creek and also out over Milford Beach, the Hauraki Gulf and even to Rangitoto Island
I grew up at Milford (only about 7kms south of where I live now) spending much of my time on the beach or in the creek here.
My sister, brother and I used to fish in the creek and paddle our canoe all over it (this was before the Marina was built)
