Auckland Art Gallery

Posted by xPatBrit 19 September 2011

Just completed a mutli-million dollar refit and it looks stunning both inside and out. As good as you will get anywhere in the world.

Auckland Fish Market

Posted by drianw 2 July 2011

New Zealand has the freshest sea food on the planet. Most Kiwis love nothing more than catching their own supper, but if they've not been "lucky" or want more variety they head to the Fish Market. Just a short walk from the Viaduct Harbour (soon to be on a tram line) the Fish Market stocks a wide variety of live, fresh and frozen sea food. For you tourists though there are several cafes and bistros that serve fresh seafood at reasonable prices. If you are visiting in the summer and are lucky you might be able to go to the annual Seafood Festival, which takes over the whole area for a weekend.

Freemans Lodge

Posted by Sissi 18 June 2010

If you’re a couple backpacking in Auckland on a budget, the last thing you want to do is stay in a cramped dorm surrounded by strangers. However, you don’t want to pay over the odds to get private accommodation either.

At Freemans Lodge you don’t have to as for an additional €3 you can stay in a comfortable two-bed, self-contained apartment complete with lounge, kitchen, bath, shower, toilet and TV.

The popular hostel also features a comfortable lounge where you can relax and watch TV with a complimentary tea or coffee, and a spacious garden to laze away those sunny Auckland afternoons with fellow backpackers.

The lodge is located just outside Auckland's CBD, just a short stroll from the restaurant laden area of Ponsonby. The city centre is just five minutes away by bus.

Waiheke Island

Posted by Mickg123 29 May 2009

There are about a dozen major vineyards on this charming island.

Just get the ferry from down town Auckland and you're there in about 30 minutes.

On a beautiful summer's day there's nothing better than ambling around the island drinking wine, eating food and having fun.

Take a right at the Viaduct, Auckland.
