kiwi "mum" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet Best of Auckland (Paperback)

i'm a kiwi so i haven't spent a lot of time looking at this book, but i take students from the USA to NZ eary year so i buy them this book. basically i like to let the students have a few days to themselves to explore and perhaps become a little independant. this book is very useful for them, particularily the maps and the restaurant suggestions.

i think a lot of tourists see auckland as a waypoint, somewhere they are forced to land but dont want to stay. if you are planning to go to NZ i would recommend spending a few days in auckland as it is a pretty dynamic city with some great food and scenery. it is also small enough that you can get from kelly tarltons to motat in the same day (look them up in the book). i would definitely recommend this book to anyone planning to spend a few days in auckland.
