Activities

Auckland has so much to offer, filled with fun and exciting experiences.

We often drop our guests at the top of the hill where they can walk into the Domain or Newmarket for shopping and restaurants.  Parnell is also close by and is one of the oldest suburbs in Auckland. It has a number of cafes, restaurants and galleries.

Auckland is known as the City of Sails for a reason. Take a stroll around the Viaduct Harbour and be amazed at the super yachts moored nearby. Alternatively you can take a ferry from the Ferry Building next to Britomart to Devonport or visit one of the close by islands. For those who want to learn more about the aquatic diversity in New Zealand, The Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life aquarium and the Maritime Museum are also within reach.

Auckland Domain and Wintergarden

We are within walking distance of the Auckland Domain. This is a 75 ha of park that has formal gardens, ponds, walks and the Wintergarden; two display glasshouses (non-heated average temperature 24°C), one containing temperate plants, the other containing tropical plants  (heated average temperature 28°C) , a formal courtyard with a pond in the centre and a fernery within an old quarry.
