| Auckland's sparkling waters, varied landscapes and cosmopolitan city life combine to make it one of the most desirable places in the world to live or visit. Within half an hour of standing on a bustling city street you could be exploring one of the harbour's islands, on a boat dolphin watching, walking through native forest or sipping wine at a vineyard in the countryside. Take a harbour cruise to the dormant volcano of Rangitoto, or head to Waiheke Island and explore its fabulous beaches and wineries. Back on dry land discover a shopper's paradise, with world-renowned names alongside top New Zealand designs. And if food and wine is your thing enjoy great cuisine and the finest wines in the city's cafés and restaurants. Plus there's plenty of activities to get the adrenaline pumping for adventure-lovers. |
