my little corner

Auckland is a beautiful city. Regardless of where you live in the country you’ve got to give Auckland credit for that. So if your wondering where you can go to take in these views, wonder no more.  Here’s my top 5  list in no particular order because they are all amazing in their own right.

1. Looking out from the lawn of Cable Bay Vineyard on Waiheke Island back towards Auckland City – you cannot beat this view on a beautiful summers day.  The fact that the food and wine is beautiful is an added bonus

2. The Muriwai coastal walk – walk along the coast line and take in the amazing view of the West coast beaches.  Again this is amazing on  a summers day as you can see right out to the horizon

3. Hire a kayak from Ferg’s Kayak’s in Mission Bay and Kayak to Rangitoto – the view looking back towards the Bays is well worth the hard work

4.  The top of the Sky Tower for a truly aerial view of Auckland. And if you’re an adrenalin junky and like the idea of seeing concrete rushing towards you why not do the Sky Jump while you’re there. Alternatively you could have a much more pleasant time and dine at Orbit - the revolving restaurant at the top of the Sky Tower.

5. Walk to the top of One Tree Hill in Cornwall Park and you’ll be rewarded with an amazing view of our great city.
