Auckland, the gateway to New Zealand, is a unique two-harbour city with spectacular views and breathtaking scenery. Living in Auckland means that in just half an hour you could be sailing to an island, barbecuing by an east-coast white sand beach, teeing off at a golf course, walking in the NZ bush or visiting the plethora of museums, restaurants, bars and shops.
