Mt Eden Village is a charming town centre on Mt Eden Rd (an arterial road). Mt Eden Village is in central Auckland, around five kilometres south of the Auckland CBD, and close to the motorway network. If you wish to visit the mountain, please refer to the information here on Maungawhau which includes parking recommendations.

Clearways

Clearways operate on Mt Eden Rd from Monday to Friday, between 7-10am (heading north towards Auckland CBD) and between 4-7pm (heading south towards Three Kings).

Clearways also operate on Stokes Rd (on both sides of the road) from Monday to Friday, between 7-9am and between 4.30-5.30pm.

If you park in the clearways when they are operational, your vehicle will be towed away.

Car parking

Mt Eden Village has around 300 car parks. There are free and paid off-street and on-street parking options, including mobility parking, with a range of parking time options. Please be mindful of where you park and the time you need. Avoid being towed (for parking in a clearway or parking too close to a driveway) or earning a parking ticket (for overstaying the time allowance), which would spoil your visit.
