Auckland

The gateway to New Zealand and the nation’s biggest and most multi-cultural city, Auckland, is a seaside metropolis set between two harbours. Its surrounding hills are covered in rainforest and its rolling landscape is made up of 53 dormant volcanoes.

Nicknamed the “City of Sails”, Auckland is a melting pot of South Pacific and Asian cultures. It boasts some of the Country's best shopping, plus a splendid array of luxury hotels, top restaurants, cafes, museums, galleries and bars. Escaping the bustle of the up market CBD is as easy as a short drive to one of the many vineyards, bushwalks, beaches or idyllic coastal islands.
