NAU MAI, HAERE MAI 

Welcome to 

Auckland 

10 

New Zealand’s largest city is a place where vibrant 

city culture goes hand in hand with a stunning 

natural playground. 

Breathtaking scenery, beautiful beaches, outstanding 

food and wine, great shopping, exciting nightlife and 

plenty of action and adventure – Auckland has it all. 

And with so many experiences so close by, it’s easy to 

hop from one adventure to the next. 

Where else can you go sailing, climb a volcano 

and dine on world-class cuisine at a harbourside 

restaurant all in one day? Shop up a storm in the city 

centre before you head off on a dolphin spotting safari 

in the Hauraki Gulf, and finish your day with dinner up 

the Sky Tower as the city lights up around you. Just 

45 minutes from the city centre you could be hiking 

through native bush in the Waitakere Ranges, landing 

a big one on a fishing charter or sipping awardwinning 

drops on Waiheke, the ‘island of wine’. 

Explore the heart of Auckland day or night 

New Zealand’s Māori people called this land Tāmaki Makaurau, a maiden desired 

by a hundred lovers. It was a place fought over for its vast riches, including its 

forested hills, productive volcanic soils and harbours full of seafood. 

Today, the city’s sparkling waters, varied landscapes and cosmopolitan city life 

combine to make it one of the most desirable places in the world to live or visit. 

In fact, Auckland is rated the third most liveable city in the world on the Mercer 

Quality of Living scale. 

The accolades don’t stop there. Lonely Planet rated Auckland’s harbour and 

the Hauraki Gulf the number one experience in New Zealand in 2012 and Urban 

Auckland a close second. Auckland was also voted the best travel destination in 

Australasia in 2012 at the World Travel Awards, and Waiheke Island was ranked 

in the top 10 islands in the South Pacific in the 2013 TripAdvisor Travelers Choice 

Destination awards. 

But don’t take their word for it, get out and experience Auckland for yourself – 

there’s so much waiting for you to discover.

Hauraki Gulf 

& Islands 

26 

With over a million hectares of sparkling blue 

waters dotted with emerald islands, the Hauraki 

Gulf is Auckland’s greatest gift. 

With countless water activities and island adventures 

so close at hand, it’s no wonder Lonely Planet named 

Auckland harbour and the Hauraki Gulf the best 

experience in New Zealand. 

Waiheke - also known as the ‘island of wine’ for 

its numerous award-winning wineries - and Great 

Barrier Island are the largest, while others range from 

protected wildlife sanctuaries to volcanoes. 

Island hopping is a favourite pastime for Aucklanders 

and many of the islands are also accessible by ferry. 

Climb Rangitoto, Auckland’s youngest volcano, pack 

a picnic and head out to Motuihe or stroll through the 

historical mansion house at Kawau Island. 

The Hauraki Gulf Marine Park is also New Zealand’s 

largest marine reserve, protecting our precious 

marine and birdlife. 

Top picks 

• Get out on the water with jet boating, kayaking, fishing or sailing – you can even 

help race an America’s Cup yacht. Relax on a harbour dinner cruise or leap off the 

Auckland Harbour Bridge in New Zealand’s only ocean-touch bungy. 

• Catch the ferry from downtown Auckland to Rangitoto Island and walk or take the 

4WD road train to the summit for spectacular 360-degree views. Around 600 years

Hauraki Gulf 

& Islands 

The jewel of the Hauraki Gulf, Waiheke is a haven 

of beautiful vineyards, olive groves, farm land 

and beaches – all just a 35-minute ferry ride from 

downtown Auckland. 

Waiheke, which means ‘cascading waters’ in Māori, is 

the perfect place for a relaxing escape – it’s so close to 

the city but you’ll feel like you’re another world away. 

Waiheke is known as ‘the island of wine’ for its 30 

vineyards and wineries boasting internationally awardwinning 

wines. Enjoy private or group tastings, sample 

the locally grown olive oils and indulge in fine dining 

amid stunning scenery. The island also has a thriving 

arts scene, with numerous studios and galleries full of 

unique Kiwi artworks. 

Getting to Waiheke couldn’t be easier, with passenger 

and vehicle ferries operating frequently between 

Auckland and Waiheke daily.

Campsite 

Information 

Department of Conservation 

The Department of Conservation looks 

after conservation campsites, huts and 

cottages on a number of islands in the 

Hauraki Gulf. 

Campsites 

These campsites offer a “back to 

nature” experience, with basic facilities. 

All have toilets and a water supply, 

and most campsites have outdoor cold 

showers. For everything else you have 

to be self sufficient. 

Huts 

The hut on Great Barrier Island 

operates as a back country hut on the 

open door system. Accommodation 

on Tiritiri Matangi Island needs to be 

booked well in advance. Take food and 

linen (sheets, blankets or sleeping bag, 

towels, tea towels and pillow cases), 

and a torch. 

Care Code 

• No open fires. 

• Leave pets at home. Dogs and cats 

are a threat to wildlife and are not 

permitted on conservation lands, 

including all campsites. 

• Bring rubbish bags and take your 

rubbish home. 

• Conserve water. Treat drinking 

water where advised. 

• Consider your fellow campers and 

nearby residents. 

• Many of the Gulf Islands are 

sanctuaries free from most 

predators found on the mainland. 

Please help keep our islands safe 

for our endangered species. 

• Remember - pack all food in 

rodent proof containers. 

• Check your packs and equipment 

for rodents before you leave home.

temperate climate which is perfect for growing grapes. 

In addition to the wine trail, Kumeu Wine Country also offers an adventure

Take a drive from Auckland CBD along State Highway 16, and you’ll discover a 

hidden gem: Auckland’s heritage wine region, Kumeu Wine Country. 

This wine region is steeped in history and is home to some of New Zealand’s 

longest established and award-winning wineries, dating back to the 1930’s 

when families from Croatia established their homes in West Auckland. Their 

influence is still strong today with many of these winemaking families still

EXPERIENCE 

Matakana Coast 

A mere 45 minutes from downtown Auckland you will find 

Matakana Coast with its stunning mix of countryside and 

coastal landscapes stretching from the historic Bohemian village 

of Puhoi in the south to beautiful Pakiri Beach in the north. 

Together with its vineyards, pristine beaches, fine artisan food 

products, sculpture trails and characterful villages it offers everything you need 

for an indulgent short break, day’s escape or family holiday. 

Stunning sandy beaches are scattered throughout the area offering safe 

swimming, surfing and fishing. You can canter on horseback along pristine 

beaches at Pakiri or native bush tracks in Warkworth, swing into action on one 

of the 18 hole golf courses, paddle the Puhoi River, cast a line or walk any of the 

region’s tracks over hill and farmland. If you prefer the comfort of a tour there 

are a range of options to suit, from wine to art and gardens.

This flourishing wine region has over 30 vineyards scattered throughout it. All 

uniquely family owned its wineries have a reputation for quality individual wine 

making. Cellar doors, many offering fine food, using locally grown produce are 

easy to find. In such an inspirational landscape, it’s no surprise that the region 

has developed into the home of a number of nationally and internationally 

recognized artists. A path initially forged by the inspirational Morris & James 

Pottery, there are now many studios and galleries where you can pick up a oneof-a-kind 

artwork.

Great Barrier Island (Aotea) represents New Zealand the way it used to be 

- a sparsely populated and rugged landscape. It is the remoteness, seclusion 

and natural beauty which attract people to Great Barrier - to live and to visit. 

Although part of Auckland, Great Barrier Island is 90km away to the northeast, 

in the outer Hauraki Gulf. It has a permanent population of around 1200 people 

which is known to skyrocket to between 12000 - 15000 during the peak 

summer period. Great Barrier Island is accessible by sea or air.

the scenic village of Matakana north of the city, both renowned for their boutique 

vineyards and local organic produce.

wine regions, each distinctively 

different. Matakana lies less 

than an hour to the north, 

Kumeu is west and even closer. 

Just south lie the wineries of 

the Clevedon Hills and out 

in the Hauraki Gulf there’s 

Waiheke, the ‘island of wine’.

Getting to grips with Auckland’s 

fine produce is easy. Auckland

Parnell Village is a reflection of the

to become a pioneer and leader in

than an hour to the north, Kumeu (New Zealand’s oldest wine region) is west and even 

closer. Just south lie the wineries of the Clevedon Hills and out in the Hauraki Gulf there’s 

Waiheke, the “island of wine”.
