Food Scene

Amazing spot to take in all the action at Takapuna Beach. View of the boat ramp and along the beach. Their homemade gelato is divine!

The best view Ponsonby Central has to offer if you get a table along the front deck. Great food, great atmosphere, fun dine and dash or settle in for an extended meal.

My favourite restaurant in Auckland by far! Peruvian-Japanese deliciousness. Sexy, understated restaurant with a cool vibe and an equally cool bar. Food is always perfect.

Another excellent eatery in Ponsonby. Asian Fusion perfection for a casual night out. If it's warm the best seats in the house are the benches on the footpath for people watching along Ponsonby Road. If it's a bit chilly the heaters can come on and blankets will be offered!

The desserts are almost too beautiful to eat. Tiny spot filled with gorgeous cakes, gelato and terrines of perfection. Hard to walk in without walking out with a sweet treat!

Amano (the bakery side) has a cabinet that is hard to pass with some amazing lunch offerings and equally mouth watering fresh salads and pressed juices. Great spot to pick up a takeaway container and squat on a bean bag at the grassy lawn of Takutai Square, a 30 second walk away.

One of Ponsonby's most iconic spots. The staff are fabulous, the food is always excellent and they do one hell of an Espresso Martini. Sit on the sidewalk and you'll watch Ponsonby walk by.

Drinks & Nightlife

Underground bar with cool tunes and amazing cocktails. Staff are amazing, as is the dark, sexy atmosphere and leather seats.

Parks & Nature

Any of Auckland's West Coast beaches are stunning. Piha is one of the most iconic. Don't forget to stop halfway down and take a photo!

The Piano was shot here, and it isn't hard to see why it is one of the most beautiful beaches in New Zealand.

If it's good enough for a Taylor Swift music video, it's definitely good enough for some Insta worthy holiday photos! Another perfect West Coast beach with black sand and amazing views.

Black sand and great surf. Worthwhile taking the walk up the hill to check out the Gannet Colony too.

A quick Auckland getaway on a 35 minute ferry ride from Downtown. Almost impossible not to give Waiheke a day or two to check out some of the best vineyards and dining in New Zealand. Definite must see for any visitor!

Helena and Matthew are excellent at looking after all your dry cleaning or laundry needs! That's where the linen in you're using gets taken care of, and my clothing too when I'm feeling lazy.
