Drinks & Nightlife
I love the atmosphere because its like a New Orleans pub with wooden bench tables. Music is great too with a mix of blues, jazz and country. Try the waffles with fried chicken which are delicious and perfectly seasoned - I don't worry about the calories here !
There is also a great alley at the side where there are tables in the shade.

This park is clearly my favourite in Auckland because of it's tranquility - it's absolutely stunning. The Park has the most gorgeous specimen trees, beautiful gardens, panoramic summit views, and even sheep and cattle . Apart from my regular walks there, my family will always have our christmas picnics there .

The beach is lovely to walk along and is safe for swimming.
There is the lovely view of Rangitoto Island, and lots of trees along the beach front for shade and picnics. The area has lots of restaurants and the best Ice cream is at Movenpick. Try the fish and chips at Sea Cow - it's fantastic.
