Entertainment & Activities
If you only have half day in Auckland and don't want to waste it, Devonport is definitely the best place to go. 10mins from my place to the pier and another 11 mins ferry to this fabulous half island. Normally I will have a brunch and walk to North Head hill. It only takes 10mins to walk up to the summit, then enjoy the best sea view!
