Auckland’s hotel scene begins in the Central Business District , where a new post-pandemic energy has seen a wave of openings including restaurants and rooftop bars. Away from the shadow of the needle-pointed Sky Tower, seaside neighbourhoods such as Takapuna, Devonport and Mission Bay attract quirky breweries and top-notch cafes, and all around you’ll find hilltop viewpoints, award-winning vineyards and white-sand beaches.
There are hotels with interesting backstories — and then there’s the Convent in Grey Lynn, which was a nunnery until the late 1980s.

Campervanning is much loved among New Zealanders — they account for a good half of all vehicles on the road in the country’s South Island — but if you’re not quite ready to embrace #vanlife, Warblers Retreat has found a way to ease guests in.
