AucklandNewest Review: ... shops limited, but you soon get used to it. When I travelled back north to Auckland in 2005 to settle I found the shops amazing compared to else where in NZ. For clothes visit; High street in the city, or Nuffield street in Newmarket. The food and cafe culture is second to none, they take this very seriously and I really miss my coffee and brunch of a weekend while gazing out over the ... more |

After living in NZ for six and a half years I feel qualified to give an accurate review of this city. I arrived in Auckland in 2002 where I stayed for 10 months before moving further south and fell completely in love with it. The weather is unreliable but beats the UK hands down. It is humid, but when the sun is out the sky is bluer than I have seen anywhere else in the world (maybe due to the hole in the ozone) lol. .... incidentally burn times can be as little as five minutes in the middle of summer, even when cloud is around! The city is surrounded by sea, which gives it a clean, peaceful feel, yet if you want fun and noise just head into any ... Read the complete review

I travelled to Auckland several times during 2006 and 2007. I found the city very appealing and very safe! There are so many sights to see around Auckland and having spent several weeks there, still have not yet seen them all! There is everything from museums, walks, bungee jumping and boat tours! The Sky tower is a must do, the best time to go is an hour before it gets dark, as you get to see the sights in the day light and then again at night time. its a beautiful view and worth the money! A great walk is up to Mount Eden, this can get pretty busy with all the backpacking buses and other tour buses visiting but it gives you a great view ... Read the complete review

Having been lucky enough to be in a fairly successful school rugby team on the national level we were offered the chance to go on tour to New Zealand in the summer of 2005, and of course this was their winter. However temperatures were tolerable in Auckland which was then towards the end of July, and at best it was possible to get away with just a T-shirt as the days were majoritively clean and clear. So after the epic 26 hour flight we stepped off the plane and set foot in New Zealand. Strangely enough the very first thing we did after collecting our luggage was to go for a mandatory swim at an indoor water park there. Wehther this was a cruel ply by the ...

I have been to Auckland twice now, once in 2005 and again in 2007, I would definately recommend it to anyone who is thinking of going to Auckland or to New Zealand as whole. If you decide to vistit Auckland then there are a couple of things one must do. Visit Mount Eden, a dormant volcano, once at the top it has amazing views over Auckland. If you enjoy good views another must do is to go up the Sky Tower, in the middle of Auckland and it's cheap. Once at the top of the Sky Tower there is a glass floor and massive glass windows around the circular room. You therefore have a 360 degrees of Auckland, views of the beautiful harbour, the volcanos, and other city buildings. ... Read the complete review
