Auckland, the biggest city in New Zealand – housing almost a quarter of the country’s population – is also blessed to be surrounded by water, wonderful beaches and plenty of ways to enjoy yourself. Whether you live in the city or not, if you are looking for a great way to relax and indulge, booking yourself into a luxury bed and breakfast in Auckland is certainly a great way to enjoy the summer attraction in and around the city.

Waiheke Island
Catch the ferry from either the terminal in Auckland City or on the North Shore in Devonport. The island is a great way to experience a rather bohemian lifestyle that has been its appeal for many years mixed with the newer residents who enjoy the higher temperatures experienced on the island along with the many vineyards and wonderful cafes and restaurants. Don’t have time to take the ferry? There are helicopters available to drop you there too.

Devonport Village
If you choose to take the ferry from the Devonport Ferry Terminal you should really take some time to look around the village while you are there. It’s slightly remote location – only one road in and one road out – helps this coastal village keeps it unique charm whilst offering great shopping and unique sights. Visit ‘Devonport chocolates’ and see how they make the delectable truffles they are famous for, perhaps purchase a few to enjoy later.

Puhoi
Head North out of Auckland and you’ll come across the township of Puhoi, famous for its wonderful cheese and yoghurt, stop in at their cafe and try some of their wares. This quaint village also boast a historic pub that you can stop in at and enjoy a drink with the locals.

Matakana
A little further north is the area known as Matakana Coast, which has many attractions over the summer, including vineyard tours, the area has many boutique and family run vineyards as well as those that are more well known such as Goldridge. Another activity worth checking out is the sculpture tour, many artisans live in the area and display their creations at galleries, in cafes at the vineyards or like the sculptures throughout the area on a designated route.

Once you have found the perfect luxury bed and breakfast in Auckland you will easily find many great things to do during your holiday all the while knowing that each night you will sink into a beautiful comfortable bed, luxurious linens and enjoy a well earned nights rest and wake up to a gourmet breakfast before heading back to explore many of the wonderful activities Auckland has to offer.
