Auckland

Imagine an urban environment where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanted holiday islands. Add a sunny climate, a background rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for outstanding food, wine and shopping - you’re beginning to get the picture of Auckland.

Auckland

Auckland’s blend of harbour, islands, Polynesian culture and modern city environment has created a lifestyle ranked amongst the best in the world.

The natural assets of Auckland have made it a dream destination for all kinds of travellers, from doing-it-on-the-cheap backpackers to cost-is-no-issue super yacht owners.

The parks and gardens of Auckland are bursting with life in spring, and there are dozens of beautiful places to enjoy just minutes from the central city. In Cornwall Park, the lambs are frolicking; high in the Waitakere Ranges, new fern fronds are unfolding; and on the beaches of the east coast, the sailing clubs are racing around the buoys. The average day time temperature during spring is around 15°C.
