Tourist attraction in Auckland

“Nice little place ran by a very very friendly and polite couple. Had the tom yum soup with prawn. Price is quite cheap. Overheard the gentleman at the counter telling a customer not to rush to pick-up her takeaway order when she asked to collect during their closing time (8pm). He said they will wait for her (aww).”

“It was my birthday today and the best decision I made this year was coming here for dinner. Loved seeing the chefs cook right in front of me – their passion made the food taste even better. I could really feel how much thought went into every sauce and ingredient on the menu, and I truly appreciated that. The staff were super friendly and quick, everything felt smooth and professional. Loved the vibe, the food, the menu variety, the plating… everything. Can’t recommend this place enough.”

“Wanted to try Tob Coffee as heard there's always a queue. It's a busy place with a great vibe. Service is quick and efficient, and staff is very friendly. Purchased beans, Vietnamese latte and Mocha. Enjoyed the experience and great coffee. Will visit again.”

“A lot of work has gone into these tiny fairy houses, craftsmanship by the fairies is first rate! My 4yo loved them and waited for fairies to turn up. "They're asleep now, they only come out at night Sweetheart!" :)”

“Great place to get close to the nature”

“We went to the Billy Joel show on Saturday evening. It was absolutely superb - the quality of the musicians and singers far exceeded our expectations. The added bonus of a "supper" was a treat. This group should tour the country and beyond with this show. Great energy.”

“Jose was our driver and she made the tour. Her passion for New Zealand was contagious. We went to the Wintergardens & her knowledge of the flora was impressive. Then we went to sheep land. We watched a demonstration of the herding dogs & how they work together to corral the sheep to get separated & sheered After we feed the lambs & hand feed the other animals on site we took a seat in their cafe where I had a delicious caramel oat bar & the best New Zealand latte. Off to the honey shack to try different types of honey & shopped at the gift store I highly recommend this tour for different aspects of Auckland area”

“Awesome place to be and really nice walking track with great views”

“My family of three, which includes a 9 year old, loved this event on vacation!! Two hours was plenty to learn time be safe and try the rapids several times. Options were available for swim levels to drift downstream. Our guide, George, was amazing and persistent with the three children in our raft without being harsh. Video is purchased separately for your experiences. The changing area is large and clean.”

“My family and I loved this farm. The animals and the tractor ride. The best part was the peacock. So beautiful and fun feeding the lamas. Absolutely coming back again!”

“One of the coasts great beaches”

“This is a family friendly farm. We used to take kids here for the family day. It’s also the start for Watercare coastal walkway. There is a barn here plus two car parks, a shelter, toilets, BBQ spots and camping grounds. There are farm animals such as sheep, lamb and horses.”

“Maddie was our game master. Team and I played their hardest room, Titanic. Very helpful with hints and her bubbly energy was infectious. Definitely coming back here again for more!!!”

“Over looking the Huia bay, this picturesque lookout offers a breathtaking sight of the backwaters in the Waitakere region. A short yet lovely escape place from the city. Ideal to visit in the evenings with friends and family , right before sunset. Visiting this place is totally free of cost with ample parking space available. For groups visiting with toddlers and children below age of 10, it’s better to be careful and monitor while walking towards the viewing deck thought the railings are quite high.”

“Very easy and quick walk from road. Waterfall is stunning and beautiful to swim in”

“Beautiful place and nice walk to get there. Waterfall itself is not so big but all nature around is Very beautiful!”

“Love this track! super fun but cardio intensive walk (HILLS). The drive is easy with sealed road access and a well-maintained carpark. Carparks can be hard to find during peak times! The toilets are fantastic, taps, flushing and even loo paper. The hike itself is generally easy to moderate, taking around 1.5 hours round trip. The main highlight is the beautiful 15-meter waterfall and the refreshing swimming hole at its base.”

“Nice quiet park in the center of Auckland. Good walking paths. Easy 30 minute walk from main shopping area. Minimal car traffic. Cute cafe next to pond.”

“Amazing bike track as you can see in my pictures. They have huge bike park with various tracks for all different levels. We just tried few track for beginners for 2 hours and we loved it. Also, they have a good quality of their rental bikes.”

“A must see in Auckland,easily spent 4 hours here. Not just a war museum there are so much more than that. Free entry for working holiday,make sure bring your proof.”

“Lovely family beach. Great outdoor playground for the kids. My only critique is it could do with a few more picnic tables/benches to sit at.”

“It was a nice experience at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway. It was good that we arrived early, around 5:30 pm, because after that there were long queues for tickets, food stalls, and even Santa. Be really prepared for long queues, even the toilets had lines. There were lots of people lining up for food, especially the beef sausage wiener. We brought our own food but still ended up buying some because there were so many food options to choose from. The train and station were beautifully decorated with Christmas lights, both inside and outside the train, which really added to the festive atmosphere. There was also a short festive balloons display. Riding the vintage steam train and smelling the smoke and steam made the experience feel authentic and memorable.”

“Stunning regional park. Can book beach front accommodation through Auckland Regional Council”

“Great park for smaller dogs. Relatively safe in the bowl area as you can keep a watch on them! My pup absolutely loves this park and can run around safely under supervision.”

“Absolutely beautiful spot in Auckland for the whole family, including the dog/s. Massive off leash area. Nice walking tracks and beautiful outlook. We absolutely loved our morning spent slowly making our way around the Orakei Basin. Definitely check out google/the council website before you go, though. If you're planning to do the loop walk I'd say you'd struggle with a pram due to the stairs near the Sailing Club House. Other than this, absolutely highly rate this walk. Was 10/10 for our family.”

“This was a beautiful walk with a stunning view awaiting at the top! Whole trip up and down took 1-1.5 hours or so, we took our time. Weather was perfect. A must-do in Auckland to see the whole city!”

“Great place for a scenic walk and explore the historic tunnels and learn some history. Access to a beautiful long beach, 360 degree views across Tamaki Makaurau. Native flora and fauna.”

“Beautiful track! Although the visibility was poor when I visited, the track itself is amazing and the lava caves were fantastic to see! I took the 10.30am ferry, and it took me (relatively young, fit, and healthy) 40 minutes from the wharf to the summit, 15 minutes to walk the loop around the crater, 30 minutes to the lava caves then 20 minutes exploring the lava caves, and 30 minutes back to the wharf leaving me woth half an hour before the 2.20 ferry It was quite physically demanding! And very warm due to the volcanic rock but well worth it!”

“Just lovely. Easily accessible from Auckland via the downtown to Devonport ferry with a walk over an old volcano! Great views, clear water. As much a locals spot as fir tourists. Great ice cream shop nearby. Had a fantastic last swim in New Zealand.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: “This was our first visit to the Howick Historical Village, and it’s been on my bucket list for years since moving to New Zealand. Tonight’s Halloween festivity finally made it happen — and what a wonderful experience it was! The atmosphere, the creativity, and the family-friendly fun made it truly special. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back to enjoy all the other events and experiences the village has to offer.”
