I have: No time There’s plenty for the family to do in Auckland’s south.<br />
Visit New Zealand’s premier theme park for thrilling rides and attractions for<br />
all ages. Get up close and personal with saltwater crocodiles and walk through<br />
the butterfly house among hundreds of colourful butterflies. For a unique mix of<br />
adrenaline-pumping action try the challenging ropes course<br />
I have: A Bit of time Fancy a round of golf? Tree-lined fairways,<br />
ponds and a river combine for a top quality golfing experience in Pukekohe.<br />
Walk through the stunning Auckland Botanic Gardens and see native New<br />
Zealand plants and eclectic sculptures. Afterwards, relax in the afternoon<br />
sunshine with a gourmet food platter and a glass of wine at New Zealand’s most<br />
awarded winery.<br />
I have: PleNty of time Explore one of Auckland’s most beautiful<br />
corners: Glenbrook, Waiuku and the Awhitu Peninsula. You’ll reach Glenbrook<br />
first with its magical vintage steam railway. On to Waiuku for lunch then the<br />
nearby black-sand beach at Kariotahi. Drive up the Awhitu Peninsula where<br />
roads to the beach branch off everywhere. Finally, climb up inside the restored<br />
19th century lighthouse and take in the spectacular view. On your return, visit<br />
the haunted attraction scream park in Karaka for the fright of your life. If you<br />
have longer, spend a few days at Karioitahi – there’s surf lessons, blow carting,<br />
kayaking, 4x4 tours, clay shooting and even a day spa.<br />
