Historic Tavern with panoramic views from the decks overlooking the river, offering traditional gastropub eats and drinks. This place gets very busy, so always book in advance, and it can be very lively, so if you want a quiet spot suggest you discuss with them when booking.

If you are into craft beer and yummy food this place is worth a visit. They bake their own bread. Lots of people go to relax, so it can be lively. I must admit I feel about 100 when I visit, but I enjoy the ambience, atmosphere and fun menu. I still miss the U.K. pubs. Sad but true.

It never disappoints. I love to photograph it, paint it or just sit and wonder at it. It inspires you to write, dream and relax.

Parks & Nature

The river is magical. I can swim in it, walk by the side of it, study the bird life by it, walk my much loved dog by it, or sit by it. All seasons, all weather , with all its moods. Its a very special spot, and only the locals know the special spots.

Its stunning. It makes me feel very happy, visitors say it has 'good energy'. And it does. I love it on a stormy day when the sea whips up and the power of Mother Nature lets rip.

So many stunning walks, great trees, and fresh air. Ideal spot to get away from it all. You can look down on the City of Auckland and see the City sprawling before you. And just a short drive away you can be in another world.
