What little attractions, innocuous nooks and weird but wonderful crannies you might not notice, but visitors love? So I set out to figure out the most perfect Auckland CBD staycation and experience Tāmaki Makaurau just like the most discerning tourist would, from food, drinks, activities and accommodation. Matthew Buchanan/Unsplash Kiwis are very quick to rag on Auckland for whatever reason. Standing on the boat-shaped deck, it’s a view of Auckland you’ve never had before – the Harbour Bridge to your left, the famed ferry building to your right and Rangitoto in the distance. @#*& and &!^@$# followed by ‘This is the best hotel room I’ve ever been in in my life.” And then more @!%$!.
