What travelers say:
Cape Achilles is well located, with a great view of the bay and Auckland, and for me a nostalgic trip to see a memorial to the soldiers who served on the Royal Navy's ships leased to the Royal New Zealand Navy in World War II.

Cape Achilles is well located, with a great view of the bay and Auckland, and for me a nostalgic trip to see a memorial to the soldiers who served on the Royal Navy's ships leased to the Royal New Zealand Navy in World War II.
The ship was famous for its river fighting, and after returning to the Royal Navy, the ship was sold to the Indian Navy, regrouped into the Delhi Navy, and after the Indian Navy joined the training queue, it enjoyed the treatment of officers.
This is the seaside park bath named after the name of the Royal New Zealand Warship. Living here is a successful local crowd. The charming seaside villas, fitness trails, and bathing beaches are worth a visit.
Amazing views. Relaxing. Make out place ;) lol bring some fish n chips up and enjoy
Auckland Achilles Point, New Zealand, is located on the easternmost side of Mission Bay, where bathing, fitness trails and leisure and entertainment bar and dining gatherings can enjoy the seaside scenery. It is named after the Achilles Light Cruiser. The second ship of the Royal Navy's Leander class light cruiser, which served in the Royal New Zealand Navy during World War II. It was built in Berkenshid, England, and then officially entered service in 1933. It was leased to New Zealand in 1936 and later officially joined the Royal New Zealand Navy in 1941. In 1939, Achilles joined sister ships Ajax and Exeter in the battle of the La Plata Estuary, and became known as the ship. The Royal New Zealand Navy installed the SS1 Shooting Control Radar for the construction in June 1940, making Achilles the first Royal Navy ship equipped with radio control radar.
