The fire, which started just after 11 last night is now contained and crews are in the "mopping up" stage.
Port Hills Road remains closed, however all residents who were evacuated are now able to return to their homes.
Resident Russell Lingard was one of those evacuated late last night.
He says there was a lot of flames - the whole top of the hill was alight - it was fairly scary.
