Everything you need is within walking distance from the apartment! Here are some suggestions for things to see and do on your visit to Auckland:
Aotea Square - Auckland's cultural centre. Surrounding the square you'll find the Town Hall, Aotea Centre, Event cinemas, and two theatres (The Civic and the Q). The square itself is a nice place to people watch and sip some coffee. An ice-rink is the main attraction here during winter, with many events happening across all seasons.
Federal Street - next to the Sky Tower (you can't miss it!) Theres a variety of really incredible bars, restaurants and cafes in this street, as well as the Sky City Casino and of course the Sky Tower. Dine at the top of tower at restaurant with the best views in Auckland, and jump off the Sky Walk to get down
Albert Park, Art Gallery and the Museum - Albert Park is a lovely place where you can chill and read, and the Auckland art gallery is next door on Wellesley Street. If you keep walking up Wellesley Street, past Auckland University, and across Grafton Road, you will eventually find Auckland Domain which is the biggest park in Auckland and has the Auckland War Memorial Museum, as well as an amazing botanical garden.
Karangahape Road (a.k.a 'K' Road) - If you head up the hill on Queen Street, you'll eventually reach K Road, where you'll find Auckland's alternative night scene. Many great bars, live music, shisha cafes, and cheap takeaways are what K Road is known for.
The Viaduct - the best bars and restaurants in the city! The New Zealand Maritime Museum is here, as well as Silo Park where you can watch outdoor films for free in the evening. You can also catch ferries from here to the amazing islands in the Hauraki Gulf like Waiheke, Tiritiri Matangi, and Rangitoto, as well as go on a whale and dolphin safari.
Ponsonby – If you head West of the CBD, you will find the Ponsonby area. There is old colonial-style architecture there, many great stores for shopping, restaurants, bars, and cafes. Some of the best restaurants in Auckland are here, especially great for fine dining as this is an up-market area of Auckland.
Parnell - Known for it's variety of dining options, boutiques and galleries. Also many cool bars to check out. Non Solo Pizza is highly recommended if you're after great food, cocktails and buzzing atmosphere (for a mature crowd). Load up on fresh fruit and veg and enjoy a variety of food stalls every weekend at 545 Parnell Road is La Cigale - French Farmer's Market! There are also footpaths and bike trails that lead across the parklands of Auckland Domain.
Apart from these mini adventures, Queen Street (main street the city) is filled with shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, live music venues, and more! Make sure you explore High Street as well, which lies just parallel to Queen Street. That whole area is very nice to walk, relax, or dine out in, and tends to be a bit cheaper than Queen Street if you want to do some shopping.
If you want to explore further Auckland then you can take a walk towards the Viaduct from the apartment. There you will find Britomart station. (Bus and train)
Getting Around:
Getting around from the location is a breeze, thanks to its central location and excellent transportation options. Auckland's efficient public transport system includes buses, trains, and ferries, all easily accessible from the apartment. The Britomart Transport Centre, a major transportation hub, is just a short walk away, providing connections to destinations across the city and beyond.
For those who prefer to explore on foot, many of Auckland's top attractions, including the Sky Tower, Viaduct Harbour, and the Auckland Art Gallery, are within walking distance. Alternatively, you can hop on a rental bike or scooter to navigate the city at your own pace.
If you're planning to venture further afield, renting a car is a convenient option, with several rental companies located nearby. And for those flying into Auckland, the apartment is just a 20-minute drive from Auckland Airport, making your journey to and from the airport quick and easy. Whatever your preferred mode of transportation, getting around from 1 Greys Avenue is simple and stress-free, allowing you to make the most of your time in Auckland.
