Tourist attraction in Auckland

“First time to island, wonderful setting, lovely owners & out of this world food! What a find. Wine was very good. 2021 Cab Sav was lovely with my lamb.”

Shore Styles is a hair salon offering cuts and styling. The team is known for friendly service and professional care.

“Very cool park. Great playground at one end of the park and a cool looking hide out/ tunnel/ ex-cannon place. Would have loved to use the stairs to go down the beach, but it was closed off. Looking straight ahead, you can enjoy Rangitoto island. A cool fact I just searched up, this park is named after American president John F. Kennedy.”

“Nice quite small beach, parking is a hastle but definently worth it”

“Had the most amazing once in a lifetime experience on this safari. We were booked on a weekend cruise but due to weather it was cancelled but it was super easy to rebook onto another day which went ahead and it was AMAZING!!! We were extremely lucky that day to see hundreds of dolphins in a feeding frenzy where many whales came to feed ( we saw about 10/11 whales that day!) they did say this wasn’t what they see all the time and we were very fortunate. The staff were just as excited as us and they were excellent along with the informative commentary, would 1000% go again and recommend to everyone as they also do it for conservation! This will be a trip I’ll never forget!”

“This is a delightful park which has more than just play equipment. It has a lot of water play equipment so make sure the kids bring their togs. It has nice shady trees and a band rotunda. A great place for a picnic lunch or dinner and close to takeaways if you don't feel like bringing your own.”

“Just amazing! Who would have thought this not really a hidden gem at the heart of the highway has lots to offer. For a loner like me, it gave me a sense of ease whilst taking a short hike...it was a 4 hours well spent for a bit of sun and just pure nature all for me.”

“Nice big park with lots of trees to get some shade from. The sun. Over looking the water which adds a nice backdrop. Great for kids, plenty of room to run around and a park to play on.”

“Absolutely a great place Huge. The greylynn event was such a crowd puller on a gorgeous day. Loved it.”

“I attended the woof rainbow dog show at this park. It was so much fun. The park playground is like a theme park, the view is stunning and has good bathroom facilities.”

“An oasis on peace and quietness. Went there on a full on day tip to Auckland and since i had a book i stopped to read for a while. Ended up seeing so many cute couples and people just chilling, reading and relaxing and ended up doing some friends with travellers that were around.”

“The visitor center within Sanders Reserve is often seen being used as a venue for small birthday parties. Additionally, a children's playground, public restrooms, and shower facilities are available.”

“Really nice, clean and tidy, with a beautiful view. Lots of cafes around too. Amazing playground.”

“Onepoto Domain is a delightful urban park that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational space. With its expansive green lawns, tranquil pond, and scenic walking paths, it’s an ideal spot for both relaxation and outdoor activities. The reserve features a variety of native plants and trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The park’s large open spaces are great for picnics, sports, or simply enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding area. Whether you're looking to unwind or stay active, Onepoto Domain provides a refreshing retreat in the heart of the city.”

“Was really awesome going on a sunny day last time was raining but this time everyone was out enjoying the sun was so cool to see”

“This the west end of the foreshore heritage walk, a 5km pleasant trail. I started from the middle of the trail, point 13 to the east, then back to the west. It took me 3-4 hours in total. It’s an amazing way to learn Auckland”

“Awesome scenes view here at top of hill. Great AKL cityview and also the ferry available. Nice spot”

“Best place if you like to hike and enjoy the nature. Many walkways to choose”

“What a great experience. Such a beautiful scene. We went with baby, so did not attempt the walk ways. We walked accross the beach during low tide and went up to the museum. Will definitely head back once baby is a bit older to complete the routes.”

“Absolutely loved my experience with Adrian and Naomi! Loved the different atmospheres of the whole experience within the Te Uru Gallery along with the workspaces that really intrigued both myself and our children of Henderson South School!”

“Lovely community park in Browns bay.”

“Our choir had a wonderful experience performing at the Auckland Town Hall! The venue is beautiful, with amazing acoustics and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were helpful, and the hall’s historic charm made our performance even more special.”

“One of the top off-leash dog parks in central Auckland, this well maintained gem offers a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s an ideal spot for dogs and their owners to unwind and enjoy some quality time away from the crowds.”

“Roberta Reserve is a hidden gem tucked away in Glendowie. It’s peaceful, open, and has such a calm vibe—perfect for families, dog walks, or just taking a moment to breathe. The reserve runs alongside the water with beautiful views, especially at sunrise or sunset. There’s a great little playground for kids, plenty of space to kick a ball around, and shady spots to relax under. It’s never too crowded, and the mix of native trees, birdlife, and open space makes it feel like a proper local retreat. Definitely one of those underrated neighbourhood spots you feel lucky to know about.”

“Best wine tasting I've been to - the staff is incredibly knowledgable and I learned a ton! Not to mention their wines taste great. I can't compare this winery to any of the others on Waiheke as it was the only one we were able to go to after our flight was cancelled, causing a delayed start to our day. The manager, Rory, was incredibly understanding with our potential lateness. Staff was attentive during our time with them, food was delicious, beautiful scenery. Will definitely return if we're able to make it back to Waiheke someday! Also they have a very cute winery dog :)”

“Beautiful reserve that we came by accidentally. Two lovely waterfalls with a steep walk to/from and around 100 steps. Great picnic areas and a toilet”

“Awesome experience. It’s great to walk around and see all the art and animals. Great views of the Kaipara as well. Keep an eye out for charities selling tickets.”

“⸻ This playground features many snake-like slides, and my son had a great time weaving through the various tunnels and pipes. The seaside location offers beautiful views, and there’s plenty of sand to play in. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for kids to explore and enjoy!”

“The best escape room we have experienced so far. The room is really well designed to fit the theme. Staff is friendly and helpful, answered our questions patiently. Can solve the puzzles either sequentially or not.”

“We had a family Christmas lunch today at the Archer, the food was fantastic as was the service. Extensive menu has something for everyone, including the youngest member of our group (Mr Nearly Two). I happily recommend The Archer to anyone who is looking for a nice, quiet place for lunch during the week.”
