Auckland for 2 nights!
Landed to Auckland and departing from Auckland too, the best rates I found were to Auckland so for sure why not see it?
Cosmopolitan Auckland, the largest Polynesian city in the world!
Visiting in November, I thought I’ll be welcomed by sunshine and summer weather; but not at all haha. Turns out in Auckland the weather changes every day (or multiple times during the day).
Hotel Options:
Queen Street is Auckland’s answer to London ’s Oxford Street, with most shops, bars and restaurants a short walk from here. I though don’t like to stay where everything is happening directly but it all dependent on many factors. For this visit, I decided to choose the Viaduct Harbour area or any hotel that in this area.
That said, here are some hotel recommendations:
- Sofitel Viaduct looks like a nice option!
- Hilton Auckland
- SO Auckland
- MOLLIES Boutique Hotel
- Heritage Hotel
- M Social – I stayed here, hip hotel, normal average service and great location. However, when I stayed here November 19, there was construction work happening which was a bit annoying for entry and exit and the noise in the morning. I don’t particularly recommend this hotel.
What to see/do?
Piha Beach
Waiheke Island
Auckland Musem The Domain
National Maritime Museum
Fishermans Rock
Westhaven Marina
Restaurant Recommendations:
- I really liked the burger in Parasol and Swing Company, they have a super cool terrace upstairs!
- Giraffe
- Industry Zen
- Giapo
- Odettes Eatry (Breakfast & Coffee)
- Hugo’s Bistro (Breakfast)
- The Gyoza Bar
- Hoppers Garden
- Saan (Thai)
- Bambina Newmarket Cafe
And again as usual, please add any other recommendations below in the comments if you feel that people should not miss out on!
