Torpedo Bay Navy Museum (couple trip)

Not a huge museum but some very interesting displays and information about the New Zealand Navy. Walkable from the ferry pier or you can take an AT bus.

Came here on a rainy day with my 18month old. To start the staff are all really lovely and welcoming. The cafe does a good coffee and the blueberry muffin was delicious.

Interesting place to visit in Devonport. We were there after 4pm so entry was free but I'd encourage others to make a donation.

Lovely spot with great view, nice cafe, outdoor playground. Not a huge place, but many interesting stuff if you are into this part of the history. Very friendly staff with great knowledge. North head and Mt Victoria are close by.
