Auckland's best, from a local

Di Kennedy: This is where you will get the best views of Auckland! It's a good stomp for those fitness inclined, alternately there's loads of parking up top for those not so fit.

Brook Warner: Retro Espresso = best coffee. Grab it on the way in

Lauren Y: Sit on the grass and chill out. Escape from your normal life and stare @ the clouds.

Kerry Payne: Lovely place to go for your lunch break, picnic - lovely views out over the harbour amd Mr Whippy too.

Carl L: The Village Co-op is a great place for coffee and excellent lamb pizza

View New Zealand: A beautiful building with a long a varied history, Britomart is now the hub of transport for Auckland. Also, it's very pretty when lit up at night!

David B: Try the Matakana Olive Coop Oil. Tastes fresh and fantastic.

Emma Soffe: Hit the beach, sweet surf, great people!!

Zena Yang: Bring Water, water, you never feel you have enough of it!
