Auckland

The Maori’s call it Tamaki Makaurau, the ‘city of many lovers’, and Auckland treats its residents well. Based around two large harbours at the north end of the north island, it is rated as one of the best cities in the world for its quality of life and ‘liveability’. Whether enjoying the rugged coast, the islands off the Hauraki Gulf, or the rainforests and thermal springs that are close by, or the city park that surrounds an extinct volcano, a visit to Auckland is sure to be one you’ll never forget.
