Imagine
an
urban
environment
where
everyone
lives
within
half
an
hour
of
beautiful
beaches,
hiking
trails
and
a
dozen
enchanted
holiday
islands.
Add
a
sunny
climate,
a
background
rhythm
of
Polynesian
culture
and
a
passion
for
outstanding
food,
wine
and
shopping
-
you’re
beginning
to
get
the
picture
of
Auckland. |
|
|
|
In
the
Maori
language,
Auckland
is
known
as
Tamaki-Makau-Rau
-
‘the
maiden
with
a
hundred
suitors’.
It
earned
this
name
because
it
was
a
region
coveted
by
many
tribes.Auckland’s
blend
of
harbour,
islands,
Polynesian
culture
and
modern
city
environment
has
created
a
lifestyle
ranked
amongst
the
best
in
the
world. |
|
|
|
The
natural
assets
of
Auckland
have
made
it a
dream
destination
for
all
kinds
of
travellers,
from
doing-it-on-the-cheap
backpackers
to
cost-is-no-issue
super
yacht
owners. |

|
City
at
the
edge
of
the
ocean
Auckland
is
New
Zealand’s
largest
city.
Half
urban
and
half
marine,
it’s
a
cosmopolitan
experience
wrapped
up
in a
fascinating
water
world
that’s
dotted
with
more
than
50
islands. |

Thirty
minutes
to
anywhere
In
just
half
an
hour
you
can
be
almost
anywhere
-
sailing
to
an
island,
trekking
through
a
rainforest,
picnicking
on a
volcano,
sampling
wines
at a
vineyard
or
wandering
a
wild,
black
sand
surf
beach. |

|
|
Multicultural
flavour
A
diverse
range
of
cultures
adds
flavour
and
interest
to
the
city’s
style
of
life.
As a
result,
Auckland
has
perfected
a
style
of
cuisine
called
‘Pacific
Rim’,
which
blends
Asian
and
Pacific
flavours. |
