Awesome park where you can get close to farm animals without leaving the city. You will be charmed by the sheep, cows, and chickens wondering around. Walk up the sleeping volcanic cone with the obelisk sculpture at its peak and quench your thirst at the local cafe at the foot of the hill or arrive earlier and enjoy a high tea at Cornwall Park restaurant/cafe.

Arts & Culture

Amazing museum where you can get a great insight into the native people of New Zealand - the Maori. They have the most amazing Marae within the museum itself.

Essentials

Small compared to the behemoths Count Down and Pak n Save which is why I like it. It's cool, modern and just a 10 minute walk down the road. What's not to like!
