Auckland is a waterside city which has a great atmosphere and vibrant nightlife to boot. Its location on a thin stretch of the North Island, sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea is complemented by the lush subtropical forests of nearby hills and the volcanic terrains of nearby islands.

It's vibrant waterfront that has flourished with the successful hosting of the 2002/2003 America's Cup, the international yachting event of the year, and the trendy restaurants and waterside cafes are a constant hive of activity, making it a superb location for visiting rugby fans who are keen to experience an atmospheric nightlife.
