Piha beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIs it worth it? Only if you are dying to surf or are going to be in Auckland for a while. The beach is good for swimming and is only rocky near the cliffs<\/strong>. The waves are big and surfable. I want to include this place because of the two rocks that flank the beach, they are really impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMagical Nights on K-Road<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Karangahape Road or better known as K Road is perhaps Auckland’s second most famous street. Perpendicular to Queen Street at its highest point, K Road is a different world. During the day, the place is filled with hippie shops<\/strong> and local restaurants with international food. Perfect for strolling and shopping, maybe buying some trinkets or eating Malaysian food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
K-Road<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBut when night falls, the street reveals its true colours. If you like to party, this is your place. Here you can find everything, from salsa and bachata in one of the many pubs, to techno and dens in the mystical Family Bar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt’s crystal clear, Family Bar is the most famous nightclub in all of Auckland. Its relaxed atmosphere<\/strong>, good vibes, LGBT friendly atmosphere, cheap drinks, nightly shows, music… simply ideal. When I lived in Auckland and went out partying, one way or another I always ended up going to Family Bar. Let’s go to K road!<\/p>\n\n\n\nPlay Golf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Golf is one of the most popular sports in New Zealand, and you can also enjoy this activity in Auckland. There are several golf courses scattered throughout the city, but I would like to highlight two for their location and easy access: the Chamberlain Park Public Golf Course<\/strong><\/a> (adjacent to Wester Spring parks) and the Takapuna Golf Course<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> (in Takapuna).<\/p>\n\n\n\nBoth can be perfectly combined with visits to Western Spring Park or Devonport Harbour, so they don’t take you too far off the beaten track. However, bear in mind that you’re in the big city, so there’s a good chance that the courses will be full or very busy<\/strong>. Make sure you book online so you don’t miss out on your place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
