That our accommodation was close to the Auckland hospital as our purpose was to visit friends, having Ubers makes life easy getting around Auckland it’s cheap and fast. We loved getting takeaways from BFC Korean so yummy and fast, they are in Queen street and close to so many other food options.

We were here as a family. It is perhaps not the most family friendly place right in the city so we drove out to other places outside of the city everyday. There were lots of car parks doing cheap "early bird" car parks so parking is good value for a capital city making driving more affordable. Parking on the road costs alot more though. The food options are good. From food courts to K Road, the Sky Tower and more fine dining. There is a new food court and new shopping lanes in the old shopping mall on the end of queens Street near britomart that was quite cool and the shopping options and quality has greatly increased since last time I was in Auckland. There are a number of options for work out classes and gyms including hot yoga and hiit plates. We found that there was a general calm about the place compared to many capital cities and although it rained alot we found that the sun returned quite quickly. There are lots of pay to ride scooters dotted around good for saving the children's legs. It cost around ten dollars to get from 2/3 way down queen street to the bottom near the harbour. There is an arcade and cinema halfway down queen street, the arcade was very reasonably priced and you top up a card which you can use over different occasions if you want to. The sky tower was a nice evening with a great view of sunset and the city. People are very friendly and chill here. There is good access to soo many beaches and the many other tourists sports like the mineral baths, glow worms, lake taupo, the many many beaches and bays, a butterfly park and rainbows end also within easy driving distance and lots of malls just off motorway 1 both North and south in direction.

So much to do and see, when you are traveling to Auckland it pays to plan even for the unexpected Traffic is terrible and the public is not safe. I have 2 girls and they were approached by some unsettling people. Book your stay and stay safe out there

This was our first time in Auckland and just wanted to get to know the city a little better. The Sky Tower is a must see and will give you a great sense of where everything is. We enjoyed some cocktails and food at the restaurant late in the afternoon and watched the sun go down. I was quite surprised at the number of historical and cultural activities available and wish we could have spent more time. If you get out of town you can discover a lot of beautiful parks and monuments

I lived in Auckland previously for about 10 years. So I know the city well. Traffic in this city is terrible, so you might want to avoid leaving your accommodation early in the morning or driving around from 3pm to 6pm on weekdays. It is a very convenient place for shopping, but it is not safe in some parts. t is best to avoid staying in the western and southern parts of Auckland if possible.

The cheapest thing in NZ would be your accommodations so stay at a nice place: whether in the city or the suburbs.. stay at a nice place.. Uber is pretty cheap to get around for a couple.. Food and drinks are pretty expensive everywhere in NZ..
