Auckland is not only the city of sails, but also a place of attractions and activities. In fact, it frequently tops the lists as one of the most livable cities in the world. If you are searching for natural beauty, being positioned between the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea, you will be welcomed with two beautiful harbours- in the east is the Hauraki Gulf and the Manukau harbour in the west. If you want fun, world-class hotels, dining, shopping, and diverse clubs and bars Auckland is unlikely to disappoint. Make sure you check out the rugged west coast surf beaches and visit some of the 100 plus wineries – many of which are in Kumeu.
Auckland is also a well loved destination for foodies, with its hearty locally sourced ingredients inspiring beautiful menues. Potato hash with some grilled goat’s cheese and avocado, coupled with a flat white? What about braised wild venison served with caramelized pears? Travelers will enjoy more combinations like beef short ribs with fondant potatoes or a gourmet lamb burger made with premium NZ lamb, Havarti cheese, beetroot, and dill pickle served with some shoestring fries.
