Win a Fantastic Auckland Prize Package Worth Over $2000Greater Auckland stretches from Wellsford in the north to Mercer in the south, with the Hauraki Gulf in between.  The Auckland region encompasses 48 volcanoes, two harbours, 50 offshore islands, 30,000ha of native bush and 85,000 boats (the highest boat ownership per capita in the world). With close to 1.5 million residents, Auckland is the country's largest metropolis and the world's largest Polynesian city; about 10 percent of the population claim Polynesian ancestry.

Taking Care of Business in the City of SailsAuckland residents enjoy a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle, with vineyards, parks, beaches and bush walks on their doorstep. The Hauraki Gulf islands are an extension of Auckland's marine playground, offering leisure options from bushwalks on the volcanic cone of Rangitoto to vineyard visits on beautiful Waiheke. Unique attractions include the Sky Tower – the Southern Hemisphere's tallest freestanding structure - which offers magnificent views across Auckland City and the harbour. 

Manukau, which is New Zealand's fastest growing city, has a vibrant Maori and Pacific Island heritage. Across the Harbour Bridge is North Shore City, known for its relaxed lifestyle, beautiful beaches and views across the Hauraki Gulf. West of Auckland, Waitakere City is fringed by bush-clad hills and magnificent beaches. There are extensive walking trails in the Waitakere Ranges and surfing at the black sand beaches of Piha, Karekare and Whatipu. Also to the west is Auckland's key wine growing area, with more boutique wineries on Waiheke Island and in South Auckland. Heading north, Rodney District takes in rolling farmland, hot springs and unspoilt beaches, while south of Auckland lies Clevedon Valley, a rustic rural area close to the rugged Hunua Ranges.

Auckland has a number of campgrounds and holiday parks catering to the needs of travellers enjoying a New Zealand camping holiday. Whether you're looking for a campsite to pitch your tent; a cabin; or a caravan park for your campervan / RV you'll find the widest choice here.Auckland & Northland Route PlannerAuckland What's On  - Visitor Guide with Maps & Vouchers - November
