http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14614
There are walks from the short nature trail at the Arataki Visitor Centre, to longer tramps. If that's not enough, the market at Titirangi is recommended for arts and crafts and good coffee - as a bonus if you miss the market!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14614 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12066 If you'd like to see some beautiful old villas wonder in the suburbs of Herne Bay, Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Parnell and Mt. Eden. All these places offer a great mix of clothes' shops and cafes especially Ponsonby Road and Jervois Road.

Around Auckland:
If it's a fine day, get on the ferry to Waiheke island [only takes 20 minutes], and visit some of the famous vineyards [Stoneridge is one of my favourites]. Have lunch at spectacular Te Whau restaurant.

On a weekend, head North of Auckland and visit Warkworth, Matakana and Leigh. There is a farmers' market in Matakana on Saturday mornings from 8am - 1pm and plenty of small vineyards producing excellent wine. Stop and eat at the Sawmill Cafe in Leigh and burn it all off afterwards with a long walk on breathtakingly beautiful Pakiri beach.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12066 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8596 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8596 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1160 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1160 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1045 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1045
