Hobsonville Point Jump on a 40-minute ferry to Hobsonville Point on a weekend morning and get there in time to pick up some treats for brunch from the farmers’ market (8.30am-2pm Friday to Sunday). Take your coffee and pastries for a walk around the 4km coastal loop, enjoying the art along the way, and then while away the afternoon at Little Creatures Brewery. The trip across is $10.50 for adults and $6 for kids.
